Volunteers Needed

Belwest Foxes Soccer Club Inc. is powered by volunteers. Every training session, match day and club event depends on a small team of people behind the scenes. If you can spare a little time in 2026/2027, you can make a big difference for our players, families and the wider Belwest community.

We are currently seeking volunteers to step into these key committee roles: Treasurer (volunteer needed urgently), Women's League Coordinator, Junior League Coordinator, Secretary, President and Merchandise Manager. We also have a range of smaller support roles, so whether you can help weekly or just occasionally, there is a way to get involved.

Talk to any committee member, or email secretary@belwestsoccer.com or president@belwestsoccer.com, to find out what would suit you.

New volunteers are supported by the previous role holder and other committee members until they feel confident. Filling these roles keeps the club running smoothly, protects what we have built together, and ensures Belwest can keep offering soccer for kids and adults season after season.

Without a full committee, the club cannot operate. If you have been thinking about helping out, now is the time.
