Volunteer Sports co-ordinator

  • VO95347


Description

Youth Zone is a youth led club for P3 - P7 with a variety of sports, crafts, gaming and cooking. It is an exciting way to socialise, find and meet friends, and have fun. We would like to have volunteer sports coordinators join our team to facilitate the youth club on Tuesdays and the school holidays programmes. Although a sports background is not essential, we would like the sports coordinator to be motivated and able to engage with the young people during sports activities, such as indoor games, dodge ball, soccer etc. At Youth Zone we encourage healthy competitiveness, making sure that all participants are active, play fairly and enjoy themselves. We always make sure that the ration between young people and youth leaders/coordinators is right and volunteers are not expected to control big groups single handedly. Any risk assessments are done by the youth leader, same as any responsibility to use any equipment/tools, etc.

  • welcome and register young people to the session
  • collaborate with youth leader and other volunteers during activities
  • encourage and support participants during activities
  • set up and clear spaces used for activities
  • engage with youth leader to help in the organisation and planning of activities
