Senior teams are selected on merit, if junior players are capable of playing at a higher level, they will be given the opportunity to do so. As part of its Junior Development Program, the Club conducts the very successful Auskick program. Football clinics are also conducted in the local Yinnar and Yinnar South Primary Schools giving students a fun introduction to Australian football. The Club facilities and resources are always available to schools and other community organisations that may have a need for such assistance. The Club Committee welcomes and encourages feedback from members, players and the community on any issue relating to Club activities. Input is possible by contacting any Committee member, or by attending Committee meetings; details of meetings are listed in this Handbook.
