Volunteering opportunities
Voluntary work could range form coaching a local sports club to an administrative role (such as secretary) within a sports club. There are so many opportunities out there and below are just a few examples:
  • Youth Games
  • Southampton Parks Project
  • Local sports clubs (directory >)
If you are a student contact your local volunteering officer.
Volunteering in sports development is a great way to gain the essential practical experience to succeed in achieving employment, and is just as important as gaining qualifications.

Many employers will certainly be impressed to see evidence of voluntary work in someones application. This shows commitment and determination to maintain a good understanding of the practicalities of this profession. The problems/ advantages will also become apparent through this experience.
