The Burdekin Junior Rugby League Club proudly celebrated National Volunteer Week during Saturday’s home games, taking the opportunity to recognise the incredible people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep the club running each season.

With 12 Roosters teams taking the field across a huge day of rugby league, the club acknowledged that game days simply wouldn’t happen without the dedication of its volunteers.

‍

From preparing the grounds and setting up fields to running the canteen, working the gate, cleaning facilities, team managing and helping with weekly organisation, dozens of volunteers give up countless hours to support local junior sport.

‍

BJRL President Jarrod Smith said National Volunteer Week was an important reminder of how much community sport relies on volunteers.

‍

“Our volunteers are the backbone of this club” he said.

‍

“There’s so much work that goes into every training session and game day and it’s all made possible by people willing to step up and help for the kids.”

The club thanked all parents, grandparents, family members and supporters who continue to contribute throughout the season.

‍

“Without volunteers, clubs like ours simply doesn’t exist. Every job, big or small, helps create opportunities for our kids to play the game they love.”
