GREETLAND
GOLDSTARS
Junior Football Club
Support your children in a positive manner from the touch line. Always respect the referee and remember they are all voluntary, and without them we could not play. Provide the coaches/managers with as much support as you can (putting up/taking down goals, putting up respect barriers etc.) Provide and support the clubs fundraising events, and remember without the club there would be no teams. We are always interested in people who want to get involved in helping on the committee or other club activities, please ask.
