Roles & Responsibilities.
There are a wide variety of jobs involved with running a club, especially in those that run multiple teams. A club must have a committee, which is made up of ‘members’ of the club. Members can take on an active role, or could just support the club through having their say on important matters at annual general meetings.
The club will depend on your support if you take on a new role, so only take it on if you feel you can complete your duties for the whole season. Volunteering can be a very rewarding experience and you will take out of the role what you put in. You will have the chance to learn new skills, make new friends and make a difference to the teams involved at your club. Each role is voted in on the AGM unless stated in the rules.
