It Takes a Village

Volunteers & Parents – Our Club Doesn’t Run Without You

The Fremantle City Dockers JFC is a 100% volunteer-run club. From Auskick right through to our local teams, every training session, game day and club event relies on the time, energy and commitment of volunteers and parents. Coaches, team managers, umpires, canteen helpers, runners and organisers are all parents and community members stepping up to make footy possible for our kids.

Parent involvement starts early in Auskick and remains essential at every level. Whether it’s helping on game day, supporting a team role, or lending a hand behind the scenes, every contribution makes a real difference. Quite simply, without volunteers and parent support, the club cannot operate. By getting involved, you’re not just helping the club run—you’re helping create a positive, fun and supportive environment where young players can learn, grow and love their football.

The Club is currently looking to fill the following Committee roles:

• Treasurer
• Auskick Coordinator
• Grants Coordinator
• Wind Up / Events Assistant

If you would like to volunteer for one of these essential roles, please email our President.

Parents

Parents are expected to get involved at every level—from helping the Coach run fun drills in Auskick to providing half-time snacks that give the team a much-needed energy boost. Every small contribution helps create a positive, supportive environment for our players.
