Our philosophy is underpinned by following the core values of: Respect, Inclusion, Equality and Fairness. In doing so we want to create an environment which can ‘Develop The Person’ and ‘Develop The Player’.
By living and breathing these values our intentions are:
- for everybody to get maximum ENJOYMENT from their involvement at our club, whether as a player, parent, family member, supporter, coach or club official.
- to demonstrate the highest standards of SPORTSMANSHIP through our behaviour and conduct on the field of play, in practice sessions and within a social setting.
- to build strong FRIENDSHIPS for all child, youth and adult club members that extend beyond the game, can be sustained for life and lead to ongoing involvement in our club.
- to actively promote CHALLENGE as a means of helping all individuals, teams and coaches develop and seek to improve. To challenge our players to become better players, our coaches to develop, our club to evolve – we all want to challenge ourselves to be the best we can be. Challenge also includes to challenge those who don’t follow the examples we aim to set and put positivity at the heart of everything.
