Nomads United AFC rely on many volunteers in order for us to run smoothly as a club.


As a club, we are extremely lucky with the wonderful volunteers we have who are supporting the club, quite simply, we couldn't do it without them! There are many areas within the club that require volunteers and voluntary hours in order for us to operate. 

The majority of our volunteers are involved in coaching and managing teams. Coaches and managers are vital to our club and we understand the importance of what they bring to our players. We have Football Development Officers to assist with training, providing resources and coaching tips. The club also looks at numerous funding opportunities throughout the year to assist our coaches with upskilling and earning New Zealand Football Coaching accreditation.  If you are interested in coaching, please contact our Director of Football, Matt Jansen - dof@nomadsafc.org​​​​​​​
