The club is a member of the Northern Football League and is accountable to the league for all aspects of the junior football competition. The club is to be at all times governed by a committee made up of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and committee members. Players, coaches and parents of the club are accountable to the committee for all aspects of the clubs activities and are obliged to support club activities as necessary. The committee undertakes to manage the affairs of the club in a diligent and responsible manner and ensure that in all circumstances the best interests of the club are put ahead of any single individual.
The club will provide a safe and enjoyable environment for children in the target ages to participate in football related activities without any cultural, sexual, social or personal barriers. The club encourages participation regardless of skill levels.
The club is committed to an environment which promotes recognition of everyone and it's right to equality of opportunity. The club is committed to prohibiting victimisation or discrimination of players and spectators on the basis of their race or religion.
The club as an entity will be a responsible member of the Wallan community and will conduct activities at the Greenhill Reserve in a manner that is in keeping with the plans and wishes of the Reserve committee. The club acknowledges that it is accountable to the Greenhill Reserve Committee and to the community of Wallan to carry out activities in a safe and responsible manner and in a way that is representative of a community based club.
The club will be financed by membership fees, fundraising, sponsorship and donations.

Game days will be a community event and will be characterised by a family atmosphere, with organised, coordinated and professional presentation of our teams.

Opposing teams will be accommodated to the best of our ability and will be welcomed not only as opponents but also as our partners in provision of a safe and constructive competition for our children.
