We need you: volunteering and TNT in 2026

Here's the truth: the Greyhounds only exist because of volunteers. Every training session coached, every match day set up, every BBQ sausage cooked — none of it happens without parents and carers stepping up.
And right now, we urgently need more people to help the Greyhounds in 2026.
This isn't just a "nice to have." We cannot run our club without new energy and people willing to help share the load. If you've ever thought:
"Someone should fix that...""I'd love to give back...""If only the club...""I want to help make this club even better..."
— this is your moment.
Your contribution can make a real difference, influence how the club runs, and help give our kids the best sporting experience possible. You don't need special skills — just a willingness to pitch in. We'll support you every step of the way.
Please consider putting your hand up. The club needs you. Now.
If you're interested or even just curious, send me an email at president@glebejafc.org.au or speak to any committee member. We'd love to have you on board.
