Mission

We believe in, and actively encourage, an environment which sees:-

• Junior Football being played in a friendly, fun atmosphere for children and their families
• Our club foster teamwork, encouragement, and sportsmanship
• Each child is supported to reach their maximum skill level, regardless of ability
• Our club develop and strengthen as part of the broader community

Values

• All kids will be given a fair go
• New players will be played in a team on age and ability
• Children will experience different positions and positions will be rotated
• Children will be given awards and these are an award of encouragement – The awards are encouragement awards and all attempts should be made to distribute these as evenly as possible across the team. It is the responsibility of the coach and team manager to do this. Options are to continually rotate through the children, ensure we seek to find a positive aspect of the game for that child to reflect on. Alternatively focus on children who have played a positive game and mark this down ensuring that by the end of the season there has been an even spread. Please record these as to keep track of them. The children who receive the awards are also the name of the children that are to appear on the database and in print media.
• All teams must abide by the Kids First Code of Conduct. It is all team officials and committee members’ responsibility to ensure this is followed. If there is an incident, support the implementation of procedures as described in Conflict Resolution information and complete an incident report if concerns still exist.
• There will be a fair distribution of game time for all children regardless of ability
• Fun and enjoyment for all.
