Wests AFL Juniors is entirely run by volunteers, juggling work, family and life!
Volunteering & Roles
We ask families to help with various roles throughout the season to ensure games run smoothly. This may include setting up the ground or helping out on the BBQ or Canteen roster. Volunteering is a great way to get to know families at the club.
