It’s National Volunteers Week! Volunteers are the lifeblood of every local footy club and are the heart and soul of the game. For the health of our game at a grassroots level, thanking volunteers and seeking to recruit more volunteers is extremely important.

As local clubs rely on the enormous contribution of volunteers, the AFL’s Game Development Team has been working on the Toyota AFL Club Help, a program dedicated to encouraging fans to get involved in their local clubs, alongside thanking those who already volunteer. It provides a platform where you can find everything you need to help manage and grow your club, as well as support your invaluable people.

Every footy club could do with some extra hands to help the local club thrive so that women and men of today and girls and boys of tomorrow can enjoy the game they love for years to come. No experience is necessary and every little bit helps.
