Why Volunteer?
Volunteering is an ideal way to get involved in sports that you're really interested in, whether it's coaching, umpiring, administration or just going along to help or to have fun.
There are many reasons to get involved with a sports club or organisation as a volunteer. These include:
- You will meet new people that are interested in the same sport/s or activities as you.
- You will gain experience, confidence and new skills that employer's value, such as working as part of a team, problem solving and developing initiative.
- You will gain experience of leadership through taking activities you enjoy.
- You can develop useful contacts in your chosen sport/activity, which may lead to possible employment opportunities.
- You may find it makes your college, university and/or job application stronger when having a volunteer role on your CV
