Volunteers are the lifeblood of most sports clubs. Manning the gates, taking care of the grounds, helping with fund-raising and a whole host of other a sports club’s tasks are carried out by loyal supporters who are more than happy to help out for free. The more assistance from volunteers that a club receives off the pitch, the more likely that its’ players will succeed on the pitch.

Despite this reliance on the efforts of others, sports clubs frequently struggle to attract fresh blood to participate in the volunteer effort. Sometimes it can be due to comparatively weak ties with the local community, but more often than not a club’s supporters would love to help but just don’t know how they could. This is especially true for many of the critical behind-the-scenes roles such as sponsorship, web design, media, marketing and finance: many of these are skilled roles though, which by volunteering for individuals can add new skills and polish to their CVs – vital in today’s competitive jobs and skills marketplace.
