Volunteer

Phoenix Netball club is a community-based organisation that is run by a group of passionate volunteers. If you would like to help the club please volunteer for one of the many roles available. There are many different roles you can help with from management committee positions, coaching, fundraising, grounds maintenance or game day support at Downey Park.

To ensure we can keep the club running, improve our facilities and provide new and exciting opportunities for our members, we ask that each family volunteer at least once during the season. If you can give some of your time or expertise your family levy of $60 will be refunded to you at the end of the season.

Some of the ways you can volunteer are:
