Why Volunteer?
Volunteering with Coffs Coast Athletics is essential to delivering a high-quality experience for our athletes. Each competition day requires approximately 30 volunteers to ensure all events run smoothly. Without sufficient support, events may face delays or cancellations, impacting our athletes’ opportunities.
By participating, you’ll:
- Enhance your child’s athletics experience.
- Connect with other dedicated parents and volunteers.
- Contribute to a thriving community that has supported young athletes for years.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all past and present volunteers whose dedication has built a strong foundation for our club. Join us in continuing this legacy!
Key Volunteer Roles and Responsibilities
Age Manager
Age Managers are vital to our program, overseeing athletes from 4 to 18. This role can be shared between two volunteers and includes:
- Acting as a liaison between the Committee Members and your age group.
- Building relationships with athletes and encouraging their progress.
- Promoting parent participation and team spirit.
Each Age Manager receives a comprehensive information pack, along with ongoing support and guidance.
Tiny Tots Parent/Carer (Mandatory)
Parents or carers of Tiny Tots participants are required to attend sessions and actively engage by:
- Ensuring children stay with the group and interact safely and respectfully.
- Participating in coaches’ exercises and games to support skill development.
Your involvement allows our coaches to focus on fostering a love of athletics in our youngest members.
Championship Duties
Parents of athletes competing in Zone, Region, or State Championships are required to volunteer for additional duties at these events. These responsibilities are mandatory and separate from regular competition day volunteering.
How to Get Started
Volunteering is flexible and can fit around your schedule. Opportunities include roles on competition days, committee positions, or support teams for championships, sponsorship, and volunteering coordination. No prior experience is necessary—our committee is here to guide you every step of the way.
