Volunteers

As most clubs are very aware, volunteer administrators, officials, coaches and helpers are crucial to the successful running of their club and the dedication of volunteers is worthy of considerable recognition. However, many individual volunteers are often over burdened and not always given the thanks that they deserve, as a result many clubs struggle to recruit and retain volunteers.
 
Volunteers are at the heart of sport and they play a vital role in encouraging and supporting people's involvement in sport.

This section of the site provides some ideas for recruiting, managing, supporting and recognising your club’s volunteers.
