Parent Hub

Thank you for choosing Scotton Scorchers JFC.

On behalf of the committee, the coaches, and all the volunteers at Scotton Scorchers Junior Football Club (SSJFC), we would like to extend a very warm welcome to parents and carers, family and friends, and of course, the players, to our club – your club.
Volunteers run the club, the committee, the coaches, the assistant coaches, the café and car park attendants and I all volunteer. As such, we expect all parents to join us in some way in helping to run this fantastic club.
