This we would like to recognise the incredible contributions volunteers make within the sporting community!

Organisations like ours would not be able to run without the commitment of our volunteers, including those on SASMAโ€™s Council and Education Working Party, as well as many of our Professional and Sports Trainer members.

The SASMA Community volunteers every week on the sidelines across metro and regional SA as well as sharing knowledge and expertise through education!

Remember to thank the amazing volunteers at your club - who often are the first to arrive and the last to leave!
