Scooder’s journey with BTFC
Scooder’s journey with BTFC started when his two kids joined the club, and he decided he would get involved and help out where he could. As a parent, he recognised the importance of volunteering and being involved in the community. He found that BTFC offered a unique opportunity to get involved in all areas of operations, from coaching to canteen duties
Scooder’s role at BTFC
Scooder is the Facility Manager at BTFC, which involves keeping the equipment organised and accessible for other volunteers to use. He also coaches the under 12s team and is part of the committee. His commitment to the club is evident in the roles he holds and his willingness to help out where needed.
What sets BTFC apart from other clubs
According to Scooder, what sets BTFC apart from other clubs is its welcoming culture that promotes a relaxed and easy-going experience. As a purely volunteer-based community club, it offers the opportunity for families to get involved in all areas of operations. Scooder believes that it’s great for the kids to see their parents volunteering and being part of the club. It creates a safe environment where they can be and hang out with their mates.
Balancing committee responsibilities with other commitments
As a volunteer and a member of the committee, Scooder has to balance his responsibilities with other commitments. Fortunately, he has a flexible work situation, and the committee communicates well and backs each other up if they have other commitments. It’s a testament to the club’s culture that its volunteers are committed to making it work.
Proudest moment with the club
Scooder’s proudest moment with the club was last season when the under 12s team he coaches beat Robina at home. It’s a testament to his commitment to the team and their development. He finds it satisfying to watch the players develop their skills and see it all come together on game days.
Scooder’s message to club members and players
Scooder’s message to club members and players is simple: it’s about the kids. They are there to serve them by providing a safe, fun, and rewarding experience. If they go forward with that in mind, they will succeed. He hopes to stay on as a coach and still be involved with the committee as BTFC continues to grow and have an exciting future.
