Volunteering/Rostering
As a club we are run solely by volunteers. It involves a tremendous amount of pre-planning and work, both before the season starts and on match days. As in past seasons we require your assistance on a roster basis to spread the workload and enable us all the opportunity to see our family members participate on match days and we expect that everyone takes their turn when asked to do something. Each week we need 60 volunteers just to get all teams out on the field/court and on home games we need an additional 30+ people to run the gate, canteen, bar, bbq and set up/clean, not to mention all the coaches, assistants and team managers. Many of these duties are performed by the same people week in and week out so it really is vital that you play your part. As a club we have a policy in place that should rostered duties not be undertaken, or a replacement found, a fine will be issued and/or a game suspension considered. We understand that this may seem harsh but it’s important to remember that if your position is not filled someone else has to step in, remember many hands make light work.
​
All players/parents will be rostered on to be in the canteen, bar, on the gate, clean up and/or umpire. Where ever possible requests will be respected when we compile our rosters, some changes however may be necessary. Additional rosters for scoring/timekeeping, boundary umpires, water boys etc. will also distributed by team managers. We ask that if on any occasion you find yourself rostered onto the canteen, gate and bar at the same time you’ve been rostered to a grade roster for scoring/timekeeping etc. that you fulfil your canteen, gate or bar roster and swap the scoring/timekeeping with someone else for your team for an alternative week.
Parent Members
To ensure the club has your full support it is a requirement that all junior players have at least one parent as a financial member of the club. This membership also entitles that named holder to admission of all home games and is not transferable. If two parents are attending both parents should purchase a membership or pay when entering home games.
Compulsory Home Game Draw Ticket
The Compulsory Home Game Draw raffle has replaced the club fees which go towards the expenses of running the club such as electricity, insurance, rates, courts, cleaning, uniforms, laundering, trophies etc. which equate to tens of thousands of dollars. So instead of paying an added club fee to contribute to the purchase of these items the compulsory purchase of this raffle ticket helps to cover these costs. The benefit being that it puts you in the running to make some money as well!
Winners are drawn every Thursday night before a home game (you don’t have to be present to win and all winners go back into the draw for all future weeks draws) with the prizes being:-
​
First Prize:- $300 Second Prize:- $150 Third Prize:- $100
The Major Prize will be drawn on the final home game:-
First Prize:- $1,500 Second Prize:- $500 Third Prize:- $250
