Join the Cats Committee

​

Our club runs entirely on the time and effort of volunteers, and we’re always looking for more people to help contribute. Whether it’s your first year with the Cats or you’ve been around for years, we’d love to have you involved — there’s a role for everyone!

 

Key positions vacant for 2026 are listed below, along with role overviews.

If you’d like to learn more, please reach out to any of our current Committee members.

You can read more about other roles within the committee here.  

U8 & U9
Coordinator

The U8/U9 age group is a key link between Auskick and the older age groups. This is still a skill-based age group where kids are encouraged to put fun and friends above winning. This age group requires a bit more hands-on support from clubs to ensure each game day runs smoothly. The functions of this role can be done by a 8/9 coach or manager, but does require a bit more soft admin behind-the-scenes.

Grounds Coordinator

The Cats use two home grounds: Aranda and Giralang. The Grounds Coordinator is required to ensure grounds are booked and deconflicted to meet the needs of all teams, as well as ongoing maintenance and support.

Recruitment Coordinator

To ensure the club remains competitive, it’s important that we maintain a steady inflow of participants from all age groups across the Belconnen region. This role has a lot of room for creativity and initiative in how, where and when you recruit and advertise.

Equipment Coordinator

The Cats maintain two locations, Aranda and Giralang, each with two containers. The Equipment Coordinator is responsible for maintaining quantity and quality of the non-committee equipment, including game equipment, safety equipment, playing uniforms, kit bags and a raft of other equipment.

Newsletter Coordinator

Centre Bounce is the club’s newsletter, published weekly during the football season. You’ll be responsible for compiling and sending out this newsletter. You’ll need to liaise with coaches and managers to get the right information, put it in a consistent format and ensure it’s sent out on time each week.

BBQ
Coordinator

We run a number of BBQs as major club fundraisers. The BBQ Coordinator takes the lead for internal (Aranda/Giralang) and external (Bunnings) BBQs. This could either be you running it our outsourcing to the wider club community.

If you would like to have a discussion about what is involved, please don't hesitate to reach out to any of our existing Committee Members - listed below.
