The West Kimberley Football League employed security guards, locked gates and banned unaccompanied children from the grounds after a series of sideline assaults and fights in Broome.
The West Kimberley Junior Football League has banned unaccompanied children from attending junior football games.The league says security guards at the gates and a ban on unaccompanied children has improved safety.
Children without an adult are no longer permitted to enter the grounds after the season opener was marred by fighting and a series of assaults. Mr Hill said 28 unaccompanied children were turned away by security on the first night of the ban on April 26, and a further 25 the next week.Mr Hill said the the level of violence had been "confronting."A 14-year-old girl was given a six-month intensive supervision order for a sideline attack on another girl in May last year, with the violence described as "sickening" during her appearance in the Broome Children's Court.
