“The people! Serving the community is always a privilege for me.” 💛

Meet Tammy Kingi, a dedicated volunteer whose impact goes far beyond the scoreboard. As a Team Leader at Le Mana Pasifika and a coach across netball and rugby league, Tammy works tirelessly to keep Pasifika identity and connection at the heart of the game. 🌺🏉

Whether she's mentoring the Niue Netball Melbourne national squad, acting as a cultural advisor for Niue Rugby League, or coaching her daughter's U9 Truganina Thunder team, Tammy's goal is simple: creating champions on and off the court. 🏆

Watching her U9 team transform from nine strangers into confident teammates has been a highlight. “One girl hardly ever spoke a word and is now calling for the ball," Tammy shares. "This is an absolute win for me!” 🥺👏

For Tammy, volunteering brings one major thing: JOY! Her biggest hope? That every athlete she coaches feels valued, seen for their talents, and discovers the champion within themselves. ✨

Tammy’s story is a beautiful reminder of the people behind community sport who make it all possible. Let’s celebrate them!

Have a listen as Ellyse reflects on her first soccer team and the volunteer coach who helped shape her love of sport 🙌

“I never actually find it tiring till the next day when you come down from the high.”

From 7am starts, setting up goal posts and umpiring the juniors, it’s all about the high of game day at the Temora Kangaroos.

The knees might be a bit sore the next day, but the reward of seeing the team thrive makes every minute worth it.
