The Step into Sport project aims to provide a simple framework of coordinated opportunities to increase the potential for young people to participate in volunteering and leadership through sport whilst encouraging youngsters to be the best leader, coach, referee or administrator they can be. It provides young people with the chance to increase their confidence as well as improve their skills, experience and knowledge in coaching and managing teams.
Volunteers are rewarded for the completion of up to 200 hours of voluntary service within Charter Standard clubs. Volunteering opportunities exist in the following four areas:
1.) Assisting in coaching and fun activities for young people.
2.) Behind the scenes – Running the football club / supporting the league.
3.) Marketing and promotion.
4.) Officiating – Running the game!
If you are between the ages of 14 and 19 and would like to get involved in the programme, or you are currently volunteering and would like to be rewarded for the hours that you complete please download and complete the attached 'Registration Form' and 'Learning Agreement' from the right hand side of this page and return them to Gemma Thomas at the address provided.
