WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
- Where to find volunteer opportunities in sport
- What you should expect as a volunteer
- Volunteering award schemes
New to volunteering in
sport? If you are you may not know where to go to find those clubs
and events needing your help! There
are many ways to solve this problem, from working through
organisations set up to help you into volunteering to finding out
what's out there yourself.
When you start volunteering for a club, you should
be given certain information: on the club itself, on what you will
be doing for the club and how your volunteering will be supported
and recognised.
As a volunteer, you should
also expect certain policies and procedures to be in place. Many
clubs may have structures in place which could lend themselves to a
better volunteering environment (from the basics of having adequate
liability insurance to having Volunteer Coordinators in post),
but this does not necessarily mean that you will be well
supported!
A simple Volunteering
Checklist is available for you to download - use
it as a reminder of what your expectations should be as a
volunteer at any club, and to see if the club your currently
involved with is supporting you!

Checklist please click here.
There are schemes and
programmes in place which can recognise the time you put into
helping school and community sport, and give you access to
subsidised or free training!
