Volunteering – Building Strong, Sustainable Volunteer TeamsVolunteers are the heart of community sport, yet many clubs are facing increasing pressure to recruit, support, and retain people in volunteer roles.
Session Three of the Active Clubs Network focuses on Volunteering, providing sporting clubs with practical strategies to attract volunteers, support them effectively, and create positive, sustainable volunteer experiences.
This session explores how clubs can build a strong volunteer culture that values people’s time, skills, and lived experience — while reducing burnout and improving retention. The emphasis is on realistic, achievable approaches that work for clubs of all sizes.
Participants will gain practical insights into:
• Recruiting volunteers in ways that align with modern lifestyles
• Creating clear, achievable volunteer roles and expectations
• Supporting, recognising, and retaining volunteers
• Reducing volunteer fatigue and preventing burnout
• Building positive volunteer pathways within clubs
As with all Active Clubs Network sessions, this workshop is:
• Beginner-friendly and jargon-free
• Practical and solution-focused
• Led by experienced facilitators
• Designed around real-world club challenges
This session is ideal for committee members, volunteer coordinators, coaches, and club leaders who want to strengthen volunteer engagement and ensure their club remains sustainable and welcoming.
