Many volunteers, one Athletics centre
Like all kids’ sports, our amazing centre simply wouldn’t exist without our volunteers
We’re a big athletics centre delivering a great program for our burgundy family, and we simply couldn’t do it without your support.
Each week we need more than 100 volunteers to help competition day run smoothly. On average, that’s one parent for every three athletes. Don’t worry though, there are plenty of different ways you can get involved.
Give a little, help a lot
Our season includes 13 competition weeks and 3 Centre Championship weeks. Volunteering at our Centre is compulsory with families required to complete:
-
7 volunteer sessions during regular competition (with a minimum of 2 sessions after Christmas); plus
-
2 sessions during Centre Championships – totalling 9 sessions for the season
Roles like set‑up and coaching require weekly commitment.
Only one parent or family representative is required to volunteer on a given day. While extra help is always appreciated, two helpers on the same day still count as one volunteering session.
Athletes from families who don’t meet the minimum volunteering requirements may still compete, but they won’t be eligible for Centre Championship medals or end‑of‑season awards.
Volunteer roles
Volunteering is heaps of fun. Not only that, your cheers, support, and encouragement help Team Burgundy be their best.
Here’s some of the ways you can get involved:
- coaching
- managing
- officiating
- setting up and packing away equipment
- recording
- retrieving throwing equipment (throws)
- measuring/timing
- raking a sand pit (jumps)
- helping in the canteen
- joining the committee.
