Parent/Carer as Volunteer

The Club is always keen for parents to get involved with the Junior Section particularly in the area of Coaching and Saturday Game Management and from our experience we have found that the more that get involved the less onerous it becomes and any contribution however small is invaluable.
As a guide to the areas in which we request your help, please see “Parent/Carer as Volunteer”, Page 5 of the Member Pack. If you have a wish to contribute, please make yourself known to any Club Official or your child’s Coach.
