Explore track and field volunteer opportunities involving athletics coaching, sports education, community programmes and recreational activities.
Athletics includes disciplines based on running, jumping, throwing and walking. Projects in this archive may look for volunteers with experience in track and field or include athletics as one activity within a wider sports programme.
Athletics coaching and volunteer roles
Volunteer activities may include helping organise training sessions, preparing equipment, supporting recreational athletics or assisting experienced coaches. Read the individual listing carefully to understand which disciplines are involved and what level of experience is expected.
Coaching should match the volunteer’s skills and the participants’ needs. Where children or young people are involved, ask about supervision, safeguarding and the qualifications expected from anyone leading sports activities.
How to use this page
