We’re looking for 3-4 people to form a sub-committee to assist in the management and coordination of the juniors effective immediately and to progress through to the 2022 season.

Ideally, we are looking for:
>  1-2 Coordinators for U5 – U6’s
>  1 Coordinator for U7 – U8’s
>  1 Coordinator for U9 – U11’s

As a coordinator, you would act as a point of contact for parents, carers, and coaches of your specific age group, as well as being responsible for player allocations prior to the season commencing.

The juniors have been coordinated by numerous committee members in previous years. Unfortunately, our children are now moving through to older age groups and we cannot give the junior division the time and commitment it needs.

We are open to suggestions and discussions on how the role will work with those involved but it is important to know that you would have the full support of the club committee for any guidance and assistance you would require.

If the Junior Coordinator role isn’t suited to you, but you have a set of skills that could help in another role, please have a look over at our committee page for all the vacant roles we currently are looking to fill.

Persons wishing to attend a Level 4 course and become a match official must:
– Be at least 13 years of age as of the date of the course;
– Be currently registered with FFA; and
– Have successfully completed the FFA online Laws of the Game course and exam within the last two years.

With registration 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡, don’t forget we’re offering 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 for under 6’s and 7’s!

Places are limited so get in quick! Terms, conditions and eligibility criteria apply. Registration link in the comments.
