Our Core Values
Faith - ‘Otua
Faith is the foundation of our association. It guides our actions, unites our people, and reminds us to serve with humility, respect, and purpose.

We are stronger together. Family means caring for one another on and off the field, creating a supportive environment where our youth and their families feel valued and safe.
Heritage - Ngaahi TuPu'Anga
We honour and celebrate our Tongan roots. Through cultural practices, language, and traditions, we help our youth stay connected to who they are and where they come from.
Culture - Ngaahi ULUNGA'ANGA Faka-FONUA
Our culture is our identity. We share it proudly through song, dance, sport, and community — building pride and confidence in our young people.
