Pitch In is a series exploring the people who make sport happen and the volunteers who keep communities connected. When we think about sport, we think about grand finals, impossible catches, last-minute goals and sporting heroes. But that's only part of the story. Behind every local club is a different kind of champion. The volunteer unlocking the clubhouse before dawn. The coach who never misses training. The canteen worker who knows every kid's name. The committee member holding everything together behind the scenes. They're the people who line the fields, drive the buses, wash the uniforms, organise the fixtures and create the sense of belonging that keeps communities thriving. Sport might bring us together, but volunteers are the reason we stay connected. In this series, host Lehmo travels across Australia to meet the extraordinary people who pitch in — not for money or recognition, but because they believe in the power of community. Pitch in is an 8-part Podcast series provided by the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia. It is broadcasting on Alive 90.5 FM every Tuesday from the 8th of September to the 27th of October. You can listen to the show weekly on air, or you can find the full series on your podcast platform of choice.
