Join our committee

The club runs on people like you. Find a role that suits you and put your hand up.

Put your hand up

Every Saturday and Sunday, kids pull on the St Bernadette’s jersey because a group of parents and friends made it happen. Our committee is made up of everyday people who give a little of their time — and in return get to know other families, build new skills and see first-hand the difference they make to our players.

✓  No experience needed

✓  Support from the whole committee

✓  Many roles can be shared with a friend
