The committee and coaches are the current custodians of East Meath United. The club belongs to our children, our community and its members.
 

As a community club creating a culture of support, encouragement & connection for children of all ages and abilities is a mission we are passionite about.

We have 5 principal values that underpin the club's foundations and define the spirit of East Meath United, they are :

Respect for others is one of the basic requirements of a democratic life and the capacity to live in society. It affects the individual and has both a social and a collective dimension.

This value is applicable both to individuals and to groups. It involves use of a web of values as varied as excellence, patience, discipline, order, motivation and responsibility.
