What ways can I volunteer?

There's several ways that you can get involved as a volunteer, but here's just a few:

• Coach or manage a team
• Referee
• Join your club's committee
• Coordinate or assist with taking registrations and payments
• Coordinate or assist with the club's uniforms
• Coordinate or assist with your club's social functions (season break-up, etc.)

• and many more...

Are you a student or recent graduate looking for experience, help out your club and gather invaluable experience in your field.

• Journalism, Media or Public Relations: Ask the committee if you could assist by providing media releases to local news outlets, generate content plans and write content.
• Photography: Become the club's official photographer at tournaments, events and competitions. Work with media to promote your work.

But I don't have much free time...

That's okay, we don't need to you work a full-time job, just give up an hour or so when you are free. Volunteers are valued, no matter how much time they can give, so don't be afraid to offer an just an hour a week; it all makes a big difference!
