Volunteers
Volunteers make an extraordinary contribution to our local community. Volunteers are the lifeblood of our Marrickville FC and come from all walks of life: working people, students and professionals, mums, dads, grandparents, friends, from every team and age group.
Our club runs on the kindness of others, our volunteers. It takes an estimated 15,600 hours per year to run our club, that is not including the time given by coaches and managers. If you have only an hour a week to spare and you wish to help, there is always plenty to do
Marrickville FC has structured volunteer programs to help deliver most of the services for our membership to make the training and game day experience the best it can be. If you put your hand up, we will guide you to ensure your contribution makes a difference and you’ll probably have fun along the way.
