Community

We are a proud, family-focused club that welcomes every individual with warmth, support and belonging.
We build lifelong connections between players, families, volunteers and the wider community.
We celebrate culture, diversity and shared experiences both on and off the field.

What this looks like in practice:

• Welcoming families at every training and game

• Encouraging multi-age connection between teams

• Running inclusive and family-friendly events

• Supporting local schools, charities and community programs

Respect

We treat everyone with fairness, empathy and understanding.
Respect guides how we interact with teammates, coaches, umpires, volunteers, opposition clubs and the wider community.

This value shapes the way we compete, communicate, and represent the Gators brand.

What this looks like in practice:

• Positive sidelines and supporter behaviour

• Respectful communication between committee, coaches and families

• Modelling good sportsmanship

• Protecting the wellbeing, safety and dignity of all members

Pride

We represent the Gators with passion, integrity and professionalism.
We take pride in our community, our colours, our culture and our long-term legacy.
Every player, family and volunteer is a valued part of our identity and future.

What this looks like in practice:

• Wearing the Gators uniform with honour

• Upholding club expectations and behaviour standards

• Showing gratitude to volunteers, sponsors and supporters

• Celebrating achievements big and small across all sports

Inclusion

We believe sport should be for everyone.
No matter someone’s background, ability, gender, identity, culture or experience, they have a place at the Gators.

Inclusion underpins Football, Netball, and All-Abilities pathways — ensuring every person has the opportunity to participate, grow and belong.

What this looks like in practice:

• FIDA and All-Abilities inclusion embedded in the club’s culture

• Accessible programs for new players

• Strong female pathways in both Football and Netball

• Respectful behaviour expectations across all members

Growth

We support players, coaches, umpires and volunteers to learn, improve and step into new opportunities.
We believe in developing not just athletes, but confident young people with resilience, leadership and life skills.

Growth applies to both individuals and the club as a whole as we evolve into a multisport organisation.

What this looks like in practice:

• Academy programs for skill and personal development

• Coaching accreditation and mentoring pathways

• Umpiring and leadership opportunities for youth

• A focus on learning, not just winning
