Volunteering Options
Coaching
We've got a great coaching team and the club has always prided itself on helping our coaches to develop their learning. From encouraging new Coaching Assistants and encouraging them to become Athletics Coaches, we've worked hard to grow the team and we've been successful in finding funding to pay for courses for our volunteers. There are lots of roles that can help with the coaching of our young athletes and visit the England Athletics website
Club Committee
The club has a management committee that have 10 meetings per year to talk through how the running of the club. Our main roles include a Chair, Club Secretary, Treasurer, Membership Secretary, Welfare Officers to name a few. If you think that you've got a skill that could help, just speak to Lesley, Steve or Gillian at training.
