There are many benefits to having an active community and we are proud to have such a diverse range of sporting clubs and activities in the City of Rockingham. We provide a range of resources to support you in the day-to-day operations of your club.
Local clubs are also invited to be part of our Get Active Together campaign where you can benefit from our support to promote your club in our community and attract new members. Holding a Club Promotion Day is a great way to reach out to potential members.
Find out how we can support your club's event below.
Hold a club promotion day
Planning a club promotion day? We can support you to get the word out, attract new members and connect with the local community.
By registering your interest, eligible clubs may be offered access to a designated promotion space at Churchill Park, Rockingham, on a Saturday between 7am and 10am. This space can be used to promote your club, advertise an upcoming open day and sell club merchandise.
Please note:
- Submitting an Expression of Interest does not guarantee success in obtaining support from the City.
- All club event materials, including logos, flyers and other digital assets, must be provided at least four weeks before your event date.

To combat loneliness in the City of Rockingham we are piloting a Club Connector program.
Participating clubs can nominate one or more members who are willing to act as the ‘club connector’ and their role is to be the first point of contact for people wanting to join their club, but who may need an extra level of support – like a buddy system.
Each ‘club connector’ will need to provide us with the following information:
- a photo
- contact details
- availability (this can be when they regularly meet at the club)
- something about them – whatever they would like to share that might make people more comfortable reaching out.
To learn more email customer@rockingham.wa.gov.au.
