Running Sports

We are not able to offer direct support to Club Volunteers in terms of training but Sport England has produced an excellent website called www.runningsports.org which provides a wealth of information.

Running Sports is about supporting volunteers like you who are responsible for the administration and management of sports club – the unsung heroes, who make sporting participation an everyday reality up and down the country.

At the website you’ll find practical support such as Frequently Asked Questions, Best Practice, Top Tips, Job Descriptions, Funding Availability and details of specific Workshops to give you the tools, techniques and skills to help you administer and manage even more effectively.

Workshops

Running Sport's workshops are practical, accessible, and recommended by more than 94% of volunteers who attend them. So they really do work. They are the ideal way to get to grips with all of the key issues facing you as a volunteer working in sport; and they also provide the perfect opportunity to swap ideas and learn from other people’s experiences.

Each workshop has been specifically devised by subject specialists who are not only experts in the topic, but also understand how it relates to volunteers working in sport.

They’re run at convenient times at locations near you and include the opportunity to compare notes with other clubs and sports volunteers in your area.

Volunteer Roles

It's a good idea to provide role outlines for volunteers in your club so that volunteers know exactly what their role and contribution will be.  It will also help clubs to identify volunteers who have the correct skills and attributes for that position.
