Junior Organisation
Our Reporting Structure & Direct Reports -
The Logical Look
Our club’s junior structure is thoughtfully organized to support the holistic development of every young player. At the core of our philosophy lies a “three-ring” infrastructure—three interlocking circles, each with its own focus, responsibility, and leadership. This design creates a balanced and supportive environment where players thrive both on and off the field.
The Three Logical Rings
Our Club: This is the innermost ring, the foundation upon which all else is built. The Club Administrators oversee this circle, ensuring that the daily operations, community spirit, and organizational health of the club are maintained. They nurture a sense of belonging, foster club values, and create the welcoming, cosmopolitan environment for which our club is known.
Education: Encircling the club itself, the Education ring is led by the Technical Directors. Their mission is to design and implement football development programs that challenge, inspire, and educate each child. Through careful planning and ongoing mentorship, they ensure our players not only improve their technical skills, but also develop a deeper understanding of the game, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
Safety: The outermost ring, Safety, is entrusted to the First Aid and Risk Management officers. These dedicated individuals ensure that every player trains and competes within a secure and well-supervised environment. Their vigilance and preparedness create the conditions necessary for each child to focus on growth and learning, knowing their well-being is prioritized.
Our Club Identity
We are proud to be part of the National Premier League Victoria (NPLV), a club formed with a vision of excellence, diversity, and inclusion. Our rich tapestry is woven from members of many backgrounds, united by a shared passion for football and community. Within this environment, your child is welcomed, respected, and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.
Our Commitment to Excellence
At the heart of our operations is an unwavering commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. We recognize that every child’s journey is unique, and we tailor our programs to ensure each player is both challenged and supported throughout their development. Our approach is not solely about winning matches, but about fostering character, resilience, and lifelong skills.
Policies and Strategic Approach
Our guiding principles are best articulated through three pillars:
-
Club Values: We uphold values of respect, integrity, teamwork, and passion. These principles guide our interactions on and off the pitch, shaping the culture of our club for players, staff, and parents alike.
-
Safety: The physical and emotional well-being of our players stands above all. Our comprehensive safety policies, regular risk assessments, and trained first aid
personnel guarantee peace of mind for families and players. -
Education: We believe in continuous learning and improvement. Through age-appropriate coaching, mentorship from experienced Technical Directors, and a focus on both individual and team growth, we ensure each child’s development
remains at the forefront.
In summary, our three-ring junior structure isn’t just a framework—it’s a promise. A promise that every child who joins our club finds a place to belong, opportunities to grow, and a safe, supportive environment in which to shine. Through the collective efforts of our administrators, educators, and safety officers, we forge not just better players, but better people.
