Once we receive your e mail we will get in touch and let you know when our next volunteer information evening will be.
Information evenings are held in February and August. This session will go for approximately an hour and give you the opportunity to learn more about what we do. Following this we will gauge your interest and if you are interested we will ask you to complete an application form.
From there we will do a phone interview and if we feel the role is a good fit for you you will be invited along to a training day.
If your enquiry is in-between these times please still reach out as we may have availability in some of our regions.
Volunteers are asked to supply 2 references in the volunteer application.
No qualifications are necessary. We look for volunteers who are non-judgemental, community minded and have an interest in assisting families benefit from team sport.
We are always keen to explore skills volunteers may have which would benefit the growth of TS4A.
All volunteers must complete the following –
