Manning is a life member at Swan Districts and is listed on a half forward flank in their Team of the Century.

Points are scored by kicking the oval-shaped ball between goal posts or between behind posts.

The league currently consists of nine teams, which play each other in a 24-round season usually lasting from March to September, with the top five teams playing off in a finals series, culminating in a Grand Final. The league also runs reserves and colts (under-19) competitions.
