Our Leadership Team
President: Sarah Jenkins
Sarah first became involved with Lindfield Football Club in 2008 when she started playing women’s football as well as being a mum of 3 keen footballers.
Sarah has held numerous roles within the club and truly embodies the LFC spirit. She has been the Age Coordinator for WO35s, her son’s age groups as well as any other’s that needed someone. Sarah was the Non Comp Age Director during which time she helped build Superskills into today’s awesome offering. Sarah also held the Registrar role for a few years. Additionally, you might have seen Sarah behind the bar, selling uniforms or sausage sandwiches or at information sessions. We really look forward to seeing what she brings to her new role!
Sarah’s big passion is for girls’ football and she has been heavily involved over the years in the development of female football at Lindfield. Sarah has also been a part of the girls and women’s committee at NSFA for a number of years and for the last 4 years has been an NSFA board member.
Sarah says “My heart lies with Lindfield and I am delighted to take on the role of President. I firmly believe that football can have such a positive impact for any player, and we are here to do everything possible to make that happen!”
Coaching Director: Paul Grundy
Paul has been involved with Lindfield Football Club for 15+ years. Like many parents, his first involvement was on the sidelines supporting his son and daughter play in U6s. One thing led to another and soon he was roped in to help with the coaching and ended up as not only a much loved and sort after coach, but also our Coaching Director
Paul’s focus for many years had been on the girls side of the club but now in his role as Vice President, he is responsible for ensuring that the football side of the club runs smoothly for all players.
Club highlight: Over the years, I have seen the club grow and prosper to become the largest and most successful club in NSFA. Paul was instrumental in launching Project 2023 which has allowed us to continue this trajectory with something in it for everybody.
