Our mission
To continue to grow a first class, community level AFL sporting club that viably and compliantly operates to provide a fun, safe, supportive and social environment and which contributes positively to the lives of our local community, our members and their families beyond the sporting field.
Our vision
To become the sporting club of choice for families and participants in the Coolum Peregian community because of the way we play the game, live our values, offer opportunity for all ages and skill levels, produce high quality footballers and provide more than just a sporting game.
Our values
We put fun first
We promote a Fun First mentality to training and playing; recognising that “fun” means different things to different people and will adjust with age.
A club for the whole community
We promote inclusiveness, celebrate our differences, help our team mates, and provide everyone with opportunity to improve.
We strive to always be our best
We strive to give 100% on and off the field and our effort is rewarded above performance.
We’re tough but fair
We play the game with strength, grit and audacity whilst displaying respect and sportsmanship to officials, opponents and our team mates to develop pride in the Breakers jumper.
