Club and Volunteers
Be part of the team
WA Football thrives thanks to the dedication of thousands of volunteers, from Board Members and Club Presidents to Team Managers, Runners, and Equipment Stewards.
Every role, big or small, keeps the game alive.
With over 450 clubs across WA, from junior to senior and community to professional, there’s a place for everyone to get involved. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, there’s a role to suit you and a team that will welcome you.
Become a Volunteer
Volunteering in football is a great way to boost your wellbeing, give back, and stay connected, all on a schedule that suits you.
No experience? No problem. All you need is enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved.
Whether you’re taking on a small support role or stepping up as a club leader, there’s a place for you to make a real difference.
