Appendix Form 3  to nominate for a Colo SFC Committee Position

Last season several Committee Members held two positions or roles. We would like to take the additional workload off their shoulders and have more people to assist with the running of this fantastic club. Last season we had 65 teams to administer and of course our grounds at Cougar Park plus our Summer 6 a side Competition  a large task for a small team.  This is your club and we need assistance to continue to function.
Please do not apply for a Committee position unless you are interested in Colo SFC as a whole. If you are just interested in one particular team or player please do not apply. A Committee position does not gain preferential treatment in grading of players, selection of teams or Coaching and Managing roles. However if you are interested in  the whole of this fantastic club and would like a rewarding experience please contact :-
Angela Hall 0400 265633 or email admin@colosoccer.com.au
