Junior Football & Netball Update

A huge thank you to everyone who attended yesterday morning’s session at the Western Oval Hall. With more than 50 parents in the room, it was a fantastic reminder of the calibre of people involved in our club.
As always, our club relies on volunteers — and we genuinely need more hands. Whether you can offer a lot or a little, regularly or just once, every contribution makes a meaningful difference.

How You Can Get Involved
Think about where you might be able to contribute.
Reach out to family or friends — forming a small group to take on a role together can make it easier and more enjoyable.
If you know someone who may be willing to help, please introduce them to us.
Share ideas that support our three key focus areas.

Our Three Key Focus Areas
Excellence in player and team development
Respect and strong relationships
Connection, care, and community
