COUNT ME IN
TO
HELP
THE SURREY YOUTH GAMES 2008!
Every year the Surrey Youth
Games is a huge success due, in part, to the fantastic
work of all the volunteers that help out over the
weekend.
The Surrey Youth Games 2008 are no
different! This year the Games are to be held over one
weekend only (Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June), providing an
opportunity for young people to compete in a large scale sporting
event involving 14 sports, representing the borough/district in
which they live or go to school.
The sports involved
are:
These competitions will run across five
different venues in Guildford:
- The Guildford Spectrum Leisure Centre
- The Varsity Centre (University of Surrey)
- Woking Leisure Centre
- Woking Park
- Woking Pool in the Park
As you can see from this the weekend
will be very, very busy!
Want to
volunteer?
Below are some of the tasks you
could undertake .....
OFFICIATING
Officials, Umpires and
Referees are vitally important to the smooth running of
the event and to ensure fair play throughout the
competition.
New & experienced officials are
always required to help over the weekend as there are literally
thousands of fixtures. New officials have been encouraged to
help through their involvement with the SYCO programme,
following on from training courses to take advantage of
opportunities to practice skills and build confidence by helping at
Active Surrey events prior to the Games weekend.

COACHING
Like Team Management (see
above), opportunities exist for coaches to get involved in the lead
up to, and at, the Games.
New & experienced coaches are always
required to help in the build up to the Games and over the weekend
as there are literally hundreds of training sessions and
matches. New coaches have been encouraged to help through
their involvement with the SYCO programme,
following on from training courses to take advantage of
opportunities to practice skills and build confidence by helping at
local clubs and at Active Surrey events prior to the Games
weekend.
If you would like to help coach
borough/district squads, either in the lead up to, or at, the
Games weekend, whether you are new or experienced, we would love to
hear from you. Please contact your local Sports/Leisure
