Description

Part of the volunteer role is to source willing participants which includes coming up with campaigns to get the youthful community to join sports sessions. Working on fitness training, involves anything from shadowing a trainer to taking on your own small team or doing fitness drills. Skills development is also important and may include working on physical skills as well as learning about responsibility and self esteem through sport. You will also be involved in preparing teams and competitions either with those attending the sport centre or you can liaise between sports groups to arrange matches and mini competitions and / or tournaments.
