💙🐾 National Volunteer Week – Celebrating Our Panthers Family 🐾💙

At Merrifield Panthers, we’re more than just a basketball club — we’re a community built on passion, commitment, and people who give their time for others.

Our club is 100% run by volunteers. Every training session, every game day, every event — it all happens because of the incredible support from our community.

Our coaches and team managers aren’t just volunteers — they’re parents, sons, daughters, siblings, and friends of our players. They step up week in and week out, and they are absolutely vital to everything we do. Without them, there is no Merrifield Panthers.

A special thank you to our dedicated Committee members - Glenn, Luke, Karyn, Jodee, Hayley, Muzeyyen and Shayne, for the countless hours working behind the scenes to keep the club running and growing stronger each season.

To every volunteer who’s helped in any way, big or small, Thank You. Your impact goes far beyond the court.

Without all of you, Merrifield Panthers wouldn’t be the club we are today… and we’re only just getting started. 🔥
