Yard Ball is led by a caring group of volunteer coaches and teenage buddies. They’re the people families meet first – welcoming participants, helping them feel comfortable, and making each session fun, safe, and supportive. Our coaches guide activities at a pace that suits each person, and our buddies offer friendly, on‑field help that builds confidence and connection.
The program is overseen by a small advisory subcommittee that helps make sure Yard Ball is the best it can be. They bring lived experience and knowledge in areas like neurodiversity inclusion, community sport pathways, and inclusive volunteering.
Our club’s executive committee is also actively involved and proud to support Yard Ball. Many of our members regularly help out, cheer on participants, and contribute to the welcoming, inclusive culture our club is known for.
Amber and Tony coordinate the program – Amber keeping things organised behind the scenes, and Tony providing support at sessions – making sure our coaches, buddies, and families have what they need to feel welcome and included.
