🏆 Great Southern Region Volunteer of the Year – Tracy Blaszkow
Country Football WA congratulates Tracy Blaszkow, President of the Albany Football & Netball Club, on being named the 2026 Great Southern Region Volunteer of the Year!
Tracy has volunteered with the Albany Sharks for more than a decade, beginning with canteen duties and general committee involvement before serving as Secretary, Treasurer and, since 2020, Club President.
When Tracy assumed the presidency, the club was facing significant challenges and was at risk of closure due to a shortage of volunteers, players and sponsors. Working alongside a revitalised executive committee, Tracy helped lead an extraordinary turnaround that has established the Sharks as a welcoming and respected destination for players and families throughout the Great Southern.
Under her inclusive and collaborative leadership, the Albany Sporting Club has expanded to include Australian rules football, soccer, basketball and cricket programs. Tracy oversees each sporting division and has been instrumental in establishing subcommittees to support their continued growth.
Her dedication has also helped strengthen the club’s commitment to equality, community wellbeing and creating a place where people from all backgrounds feel supported and welcome.
Tracy’s outstanding contribution has previously been recognised through the 2019 GSFL Volunteer of the Year Award and the 2022 Mike Stidwell Medal.
Thank you, Tracy, for your remarkable leadership, dedication and commitment to the Albany Sharks and the wider Great Southern sporting community. 👏
