25.01.2022 Volunteers are the lifeblood of the YJFL’s member clubs and supporting your club in 2021 is more important than ever. Roles like President, committee member, coach, trainer, canteen staff and many more need to be covered by all clubs next season. Being a volunteer at your child’s club is extremely rewarding, not as time consuming as you may think and you can help in the future of your club and the League. Reach out to your club, see if you can help in any capacity. The question for you is, what will you be writing on your polaroid next year?
