About volunteering at CUFC

As a not-for-profit community sporting club, the junior division needs a lot of parent volunteers to give their time and energy to make a great experience for our young players.

Many hands make light work! So, please put your hand up and “Get on the team"!

Most of these roles only require a time commitment during training times.

No experience is required for any of these roles! Everything you need to know you can learn on-the-job.

Some of these roles entitle volunteers to discounted fees.
