About East Gippsland United Football Club
The club was formed to promote and develop the game of outdoor soccer (football) to meet the growing demand for "The World Game". The decision was made in response to two years of research and development undertaken by a group of local enthusiasts who recognised the demand for football in East Gippsland.
EGUFC is affiliated with the premier governing sports bodies for football in Australia, including Football Federation Australia (FFA), Football Federation Victoria (FFV) and the Latrobe Valley Soccer League (LVSL)
The club's Mission Statement reflects it's basic philosophy:
"EGUFC is committed to the well-being and development of both players and football in East Gippsland. We will achieve this through applying a club philosophy of support, encouragement, enjoyment and participation for all members regardless of ability, experience, race, gender or age in a safe and supervised environment and in accordance with the Club Constitution".
EGUFC offers quality competitions, programs and events.
About The Committee
The EGUFC committee is made up a group of dedicated volunteers and looks after the operations of the club,
following the club philosophy of developing both the game of football and of our players in East Gippsland.
There are eleven positions on the Committee, and all club members are eligible to join. Some committee
members take on a specific role to assist with the running of the club and its programs.
But you don’t have to join the committee to help. There are many other tasks and duties that need to be
done, particularly during the competition season, without needing to be on the committee.
We are always looking for more people to volunteer and get involved to help with the running of the club. If
you’ve got any skills that are transferrable, please reach out because “many hands make light work”.
The committee meets on the second Wednesday of each month at the West Bairnsdale Oval social rooms, and
everyone is invited to attend. If you would like to learn more about the work we do or get involved, we
warmly welcome guests.
All members are invited to attend the AGM which is held in November of each year.
If you would like to attend a meeting as a guest or to volunteer, please contact the club secretary.
