Parent & Family Involvement

How families support GHA, and why player voice matters.

Club Operations · Handbook page 29


Parents and families are a vital part of GHA. Many coaches, volunteers, committee members and sponsors first become involved through their children. Age groups are encouraged to build a pipeline of volunteers from within their parent group.

Parents may choose to support the Club through:

  • Coaching, fundraising and events
  • Sponsorship introductions
  • Photography and videography
  • Marketing, communications and administration
  • Committee roles and other volunteering

Player Voice: players should be encouraged to contribute ideas, ask questions and take increasing ownership of their rugby experience as they mature. Listening to players helps create a positive, inclusive and enjoyable environment.

Don't skip this

Not every family can volunteer, but every family is encouraged to contribute where they can.
