Committee

Sunnybank Saints is a non-profit club run entirely by volunteers.

With almost 600 individual players, our own stand-alone internal competition for juniors, QCSA participation, multiple fields for game days and training, game day canteen, a new clubhouse, player awards, trophies, and so much more, there is a LOT to be done every season!

To coordinate all that is required for a smooth and enjoyable season for players and parents, a Committee of volunteers is required, with multiple positions allowing the volunteers to share the load.

Volunteers are not only encouraged, they are absolutely necessary – and the more people that help, the less work each person has to do!
