volunteers are the lifeblood of our community.
Volunteers are the backbone of any grassroots sporting club, and at Tablelands Rugby Union, they are vital to our success both on and off the field. From helping in our canteen, managing teams, assisting with training sessions and acting as ground marshals - our volunteers ensure that every aspect of the club runs smoothly (actually, at all!) And being new to the competition, we need you now more than ever.
There are plenty of opportunities for people of all ages and skill sets to get involved. As a valued volunteer, you’ll receive training, ongoing support, and the chance to connect with others while making a real difference in our community. We understand that time is precious, and we’re happy to tailor roles to fit around your life. If you’d like to get more involved, please reach out, we’d love to find a way for you to contribute that works for you.
