• Team allocations are provisional and are not guaranteed to remain unchanged.
• Where reasonably necessary, TLFC reserves the right to adjust team composition, grading, player placement, or training groups before or during the season.

6. Our Football Environment & Club Values

Truganina Lions Football Club exists to provide a respectful, welcoming, and safe environment that our players, volunteers, and families are proud to belong to. We are committed to keeping football accessible and affordable, grounded in our five core club values.

Our objective is to nurture each player’s technical capability, tactical awareness, confidence, and sportsmanship while ensuring their football journey remains enjoyable and fulfilling. All football and squad development decisions are made by authorised Club football officials in line with the Club’s technical curriculum and coaching philosophy.

7. Parent, Guardian & Spectator Conduct

By accepting an offer, parents and guardians agree to uphold the standards of conduct expected across the Truganina Lions community. Players, parents, family members, and guardians must comply with:

• TLFC Codes of Conduct (Player, Parent, and Spectator);
• Football Victoria and Football Australia Spectator Codes and By-Laws;
• Victorian Child Safe Standards and TLFC Club Policies; and
• Reasonable operational directions issued by team coaches, ground marshals, and authorised Club committee officials.

Constructive feedback and respectful communication are always welcome through official club channels. Abusive, intimidating, threatening, derogatory, or disruptive behaviour towards players, junior referees, volunteer coaches, club officials, or opposition teams will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Breaches of conduct may lead to suspension or formal termination of membership under the Club’s disciplinary and grievance processes.

8. Communication & Raising Concerns

To ensure clear, timely, and respectful communication:

• General administrative, team, and football enquiries should be channelled through the nominated Team Manager or Club age coordinator.
• Issues or feedback must be raised respectfully and through proper channels, rather than during active training sessions or on the sidelines on match day.
• TLFC is committed to addressing genuine parent concerns constructively, fairly, and within a reasonable timeframe.

9. Volunteer Community

TLFC is a community sporting club, and it thrives because of the people who give their time each week. From time to time, families may be asked to lend a hand with team and Club activities—match-day duties, events, canteen operations, and other volunteer roles.

There's no better reward than lending a hand on the sidelines while watching your own children learn, grow, and enjoy the game. We encourage every family to contribute where they reasonably can, so this community and the experience continue to thrive!
