The club is getting back to basics in a bid to prevent itself folding and many positions have been filled.

However, there are still a lot of spots that remain vacant and the call is still out to the community to help save the proud club.

The Courier last year reported that Golden Point was on the brink of collapse.

Main board positions have now been filled, but the Dragons still severely lack coaches for many underage football and netball teams and is in desperate need of people to step up and fill the development roles.

Not only are coaching numbers down, but junior players are also needed to keep the club afloat.

Ballarat Football League operations manager Aaron Nunn said the league was glad Golden Point survived the latest scare and could now focus on recovery.

He said there was now a solid base to build on, but families still needed to jump on board. Nunn said there was still a strong interest in the club’s progress from the Ballarat community which desperately wanted to see it survive.

“All we need now is for a few families to commit and move over to the club to assist with boosting player numbers,” he said.

“The club has a solid committee in place now and hopefully now this means the club is heading in the right direction.”

Jordan Wilkes and Kerrie Leckie have been officially appointed joint presidents, with Wilkes also filling the role of junior co-ordinator with Paul Baldwin. However, the club is still looking for coaches in several age groups and is also on the hunt for assistant coaches.

Also on the wish list is a junior netball co-ordinator to assist Kerrie Leckie, as well as coaches for the three new age groups.

Anyone still interested in assisting the Golden Point Junior Football Club in an off-field coaching or administrative capacity should contact Jordan Wilkes (0423 632 561) or Kerrie Leckie (0421 112 703).
