Volunteers are essential to the running of sporting clubs across Australia.
They can range from more significant roles such as committee member or a becoming a coach, or others such as the person sorting the uniforms, to the unseen volunteer who processes registrations. Each one is equally important and valuable in there own way.
GRCM is able to provide some resources for those people and also for any clubs or Associations who are looking to improve their volunteer structure or need some help in a specific area.
Why Volunteer?
Most Community sport organisations operate as not-for-profit organisation which relies heavily on the generosity of volunteers to be able to deliver a full range of activities. Being a volunteer should be a rewarding experience, and means you get involved in a great family environment while helping to deliver the sport to the Community.
Junior and youth clubs and associations across the country require the greatest amount of volunteers, and they are crucial to helping create a life long passion and engagement in the game. We truly appreciate everything our volunteers do for us, and we acknowledge that our sport would not be the success story it is, without their help.
How can I volunteer?
Some of the traditional avenues to become involved are in umpiring and coaching.
A game can't go ahead without an umpire/referee and if you choose to go down that route you can receive support from mentors and experience staff and be involved in competitions.
If you want to become a coach, it can be one of the most rewarding volunteer roles around as you make a positive impact on a young players development in the game.
You might just like to become involved at your local club or association and fill one of the many crucial roles that happen week to week from scorer, Team manager or even simply helping to sell merchandise or a shift in the canteen!
Don't wait to be asked!
