Values Statement 

​

"Believe & Achieve" 

At Seaton Ramblers Junior Football Club our mission is to develop our youth into responsible football players with intense work and team ethics, discipline and good social skills.

We provide a safe and fair environment and accommodate all players regardless of abilities.

From Grasshoppers to those under 17.5’s we will encourage improvement by concentrating on skills and positional versatility.

We have zero tolerance for disrespectful behaviour towards teammates, opponents and officials.

We believe these values will create the best possible environment for personal development and individual/team success and are only achievable through the collective effort of players, parents, coaches & officials.
