 Yes. At GHFC, we believe that success both on and off the field depends on the collective efforts of every member, parent, and guardian. We require that all members actively contribute to the essential team duties that keep our club running smoothly each week.

These duties include:

1. Field Setup (before games and training)
2. Field Pack-up (after games and training)
3. Canteen Assistance
4. Ground Official Roles 

Why It’s Important

• Shared      Responsibility: Our club operates as a community, not a service. We      rely on everyone pitching in to create a positive, fair, and well-organised      environment.
• Support      for Players: When all families participate, we can focus resources on      improving player experiences and developing the club.
• Fairness:     Volunteering ensures that duties are equally distributed, preventing      burnout among a few individuals.

Mandatory Expectation

By registering with our club, members agree that participation in team duties is mandatory. Opting out of duties is not permitted unless there are exceptional, pre-approved circumstances.

Your help is not just appreciated—it is essential to the smooth operation and continued success of the club.

At under 12s players, can try out for Division 1 and below. At the end of the year, we will run trials for various age groups to determine appropriate Division.

As a Community Club, managed by the community, GHFC relies on the wonderful help of our parents and relatives within the community. Most, if not all coaches at a community club start as a volunteer parent and give their time to the players to help develop their skills. Some parents choose to continue multiple seasons. 

GHFC will provide ongoing support to all coaches including resources for sessions plans, age-appropriate training and certifications if interested. Please contact president@gregoryhillsfc.org.au for further info.

Some clubs require weekly payments from teams\parents to give to the club for referees. To simplify this, GHFC covers these fees upfront in the rego fees.
