Our Club

History & Mission

The Manly Bombers were founded in 2001. We are based on the lower Northern Beaches of Sydney with our home oval at Weldon Oval, North Curl Curl.

Our Mission Statement is:

"to introduce, teach, develop and promote the AFL code within the broader Manly - Warringah community whilst contributing towards the physical, social and personal development of the children"

The Club caters for all ages from 5 years old to 16 years old. The club plays Australian Rules Football (AFL) where all children are encouraged to have fun and learn new skills.

Auskick to Under 12's play modified rules which are designed to introduce the skills of AFL football. For 5 to 10 year olds there is NO CONTACT, NO GRADING and the emphasis is on FUN and developing a love for sport.

For ages Under 11 to Under 12, there is minimum contact allowed but again NO GRADING.

Under 13 to Under 16 has modified rules on a full oval which ensures maximum enjoyment in a competitive, but fun and SAFE environment.

Australian Football is a fun, safe sport which all children can play and enjoy. Everyone gets a game and there is no grading.

All coaches are trained by the AFL and have Level 1 credentials (minimum). The main aim of the Club is for the players to have fun, enjoy the game and become profficient at the skills of Australian Football.

In 2004, Manly were voted Best Club on the North Shore by the North Shore Association as well as receiving the Greater Sydney Juniors award for Best Auskick Clinic on the North Shore 2004, 2007 & 2008.

All players, coaches and parents are required to abideby the AFL's "Code of Conduct" rules.

Come and play the AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL GAME and HAVE FUN.

Club Song

BOMBERS CLUB SONG

See the Bombers fly up, up!
To win the premiership flag.
Our boys who play this grand old game,
Are always striving for glory and fame!
See the Bombers fly up, up,
The other teams they don't fear,
They all try their best,
But they can't get near,
As the Bombers fly up!
