To grow and develop the game of football throughout Western Victoria and to provide kids with a fun, safe and skill based introduction to the game.
To consistently produce young players who have a love for the game, respect for themselves and others, and the technical ability to succeed as professional footballers.
Football is community. It draws people together to work towards a common goal and we want to instill this mindset in our young players.
We all know a champion team will beat a team of champions. Our kids will learn that success is better together.
Respect is expected and extended to all levels of WVFA, from the players and coaches through to parents, families, supporters, sponsors and volunteers.
Is there anything better than watching your child learning, laughing and maybe nutmegging a coach?
We believe high roads are for walking and shortcuts are for avoiding.
Our ultimate goal is to assist each child to find their own level of excellence, whether that be finding happiness in playing socially with their friends or reaching the professional levels of the game.
It’s my belief that in every young player's desire to play for their favourite team, whether it be Australia or Manchester United, there needs to be a safe and nurturing environment encouraging them to get there.
I take enormous pleasure out of trying to make that dream possible for each and every one of them, and this drives me to better myself in order to better the young footballers.
