Volunteer with us

We are 100% volunteer run, with no paid staff – so we rely on people generously donating their time to keep the club going strong. If you want to make a difference in the lives of young people and be part of a welcoming community, then we’re the place for you.

I had never coached junior sport before this year, and it’s been a really fun experience.

I’ve loved working with the girls and seeing their enthusiasm and ability grow.

Creating equal opportunities for all kids at the club was the reason I got involved, so it’s been great to see that in action.

— Tom, U10 girls’ coach

Coaches/assistant coaches

We are always looking for passionate people who want to give back to join our coaching team. 

No direct coaching experience is required – just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. Some knowledge of soccer is advantageous, but not necessary. We will support you to complete the relevant Football Victoria’s development courses for your level and age group.  

Time commitment: Up to 4 hours per week.
