Sacramento Footy Volunteer Committees
The Sacramento Suns Australian Football Club (SAFC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization operated completely by volunteers who are passionate about growing the sport of Australian Rules Football in the greater Sacramento area. Each year a new 8-member SAFC Executive Board is elected by club membership. The Board is tasked with the administration of the club leagues and events. The involvement of many club and community members is key to the long-term success of the club. With this in mind, the Board has formally established the following Committees:
  • Suns Youth -- Facilitates the "Rising Suns" Youth Footy Program
  • Suns Events -- Assists the Director of Events in planning and facilitating club Social Events
  • Suns Operations -- Assists the Director of Operations in planning & facilitating club leagues
  • Suns Recruitment -- Leads efforts in player & supporter recruitment & retention
  • Suns Fundraising -- Leads efforts in procuring sponsorships & donations, & in coordinating merchandise sales & fundraising efforts
  • Suns Player Development -- Leads player & team development & training efforts; Also coordinates participation in the Team USA programs
  • Suns Media Management -- Leads efforts in the club's online presence & branding, and in coordinating photograpy at events.
It is hoped that all veteran club members will volunteer in a committee. Each committee will select a Chairperson or Co-Chairs to lead the committee efforts with the aid of the supervising SAFC Board member. Each committee Chair will communicate regularly with the Board, and may occasionally be asked to participate in Board meetings.

***Committee meetings may be held multiple times each year (virtual or in-person) to coordinate committee efforts. However, much of the planning discussions will likely occur via digital communications outside of committee meetings. Committee members are expected to frequently read and respond to digital communications.***

Youth Committee
The "Rising Suns" Youth Footy Committee has been functioning since 2017, and has coordinated several free youth footy clinics each year (typically held in conjunction with Suns Metro events). In 2023, over 60 children participated in our youth footy events, and the Rising Suns program participated in the inaugural efforts by the USAFL in developing a nationwide Youth Footy presence. There are more exciting developments to come in this sector!
