Eagles Community Foundation is now inviting expressions of interest from parents and guardians who would like to be part of its new Parental Committee.
The Foundation is looking for individuals who are enthusiastic, reliable, and committed to supporting its player pathway structure.
Initially, the committee will consist of one parent representative from each of the 14 junior club sites, along with two parent representative from the Eagles Academy – one from the boys teams and one from the girls. This structure is designed to ensure that all areas of the programme are fairly represented.
Committee members will serve for a fixed term of one season, running from September to June. This allows for continuity across the playing season while also providing opportunities for wider parent involvement in future years.
