Recruiting and retaining volunteers is a difficult task but it is vital for the future of netball clubs. People who emerge as volunteers, from coaches, officials, chairs, secretaries and treasurers to kit washers and refreshment makers, are the lifeblood of a netball club, yet all too often they are taken for granted. Increasingly, as people’s time becomes more valuable it is important that clubs consider the whole area of human resource development and how they can recruit, support, recognise and reward their most valuable resource - volunteers.

England Netball has put together a FREE Club Volunteer Coordinator Support Package for new and existing Club Volunteer Coordinators. The resource will help structure active volunteers within your club, provide job roles and awards but also provide ideas on how to increase your volunteer capacity. Its a great resource for clubs working to achieve accreditation!

Given that volunteers are essential to the effective running of netball clubs it is recommended that clubs consider appointing a club volunteer coordinator. This type of role can make a big difference to the recruitment and retention of volunteers as it ensures that the area of volunteer development is given a strong lead from within the club.

The support package includes:
• Information on the role of a Club Volunteer Coordinator
• Guidance on the safe and effective recruitment of club volunteers
• Guidance on recognising and rewarding your club volunteers
• Guidance on training and developing your club volunteers
• Volunteer Role Descriptions
• Templates for you to utilise
• Volunteer thank you cards
• Discount on the brand new Running Sports ‘Club Volunteer Coordinator’ workshop
• Quarterly E-Newsletter
• Regular updates and support from England Netball’s Volunteer Manager
