North Perth Cricket Club

POV: You said “I can help a little this season.” 😅

Our club runs on volunteers - but we need a few more legends to help share the load this upcoming season.

Whether you can help every week or just occasionally, it all makes a huge difference.
No experience needed - just a willingness to pitch in and be part of the club community.

📣 We’re looking for help with:
• Game day setup
• Scoring & team management
• Canteen/BBQ
• Events & fundraising
• Junior support
• General club help

If you’ve been thinking about getting involved, now’s the time!
Send us a message or chat to the committee to volunteer for the season 💚🏏
