Volunteers are always needed in areas of lines person, ground marshal, pitch set up and pack up, canteen and BBQ. Parents are asked to volunteer for 2 hours per season per child. Team managers will ask for volunteers as the season commences, and once games are released a canteen roster will also be developed for people to volunteer. Sometimes the club also does a Bunnings BBQ which requires volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering to coach please contact Jack on 0428 909 876, courses are held by E&DJSA and paid for by the club.
