Law & District AAC have 3 training bases across Lanarkshire, at Biggar, Carluke and Wishaw. We offer quality coaching in all areas of running, jumping and throwing to club members from the age of 9 years upwards. We have a membership of around 270 athletes, 40 of whom reside in the Biggar area. Our Biggar base was set up 13 years ago and has proved very popular and successful. We are the only athletic club in the Clydesdale area and the weekly training session in Biggar provides an introduction to athletics for youngsters in this rural area. We are urgently looking for UKA qualified coaches to Level 1 (Coaching Assistant) or Level 2 (Athletic Coach) standard to support and mentor new volunteers to coaching within our club in the Biggar area. Opportunity mainly takes place in Biggar but we also welcome volunteers to our bases in Carluke & Wishaw. We are also looking for volunteers to assist existing club coaches during training sessions, helping with the organisation of the session / athletes / equipment and in due course the club will be happy to pay for committed volunteers to attend a UKA Coaching Assistant course to obtain their coaching licence. Anyone who wishes to progress further can then take the opportunity to advance to the next level, Athletic Coach. Both the Coaching Assistant and Athletic Coach will coach Athletes in Biggar between the ages of 9-15yrs in the basics of running, jumping and throwing. We encourage our members to compete in events held by Scottish Athletics, whether it be track & field, cross country, hill running or road racing and these events can take them and coaches to many places locally and nationally, providing experiences and memories which last a life time.

Help others to become healthier and happier by leading our health walks. The walks are free, short and gentle, making it easier for people to become more active. Apart from taking people on a walk, walk leaders will welcome new walkers, give route information (where, how long/ how far, hazards), encourage some social activity and deal with a bit of paperwork. Optional activities are assisting with promoting the walks and planning and risk assessing new routes. It is up to individual volunteers to decide how much they want to commit, but to ensure some continuity we would ask that you consider your availability for leading walks before doing the health walk leader training day.

Interested in getting involved in a vibrant community-led sports project? Albury Outdoor Sports Centre is a small community facility in the centre of Aberdeen which is a working partnership with residents in the community and Sport Aberdeen and run by volunteers. We are keen to recruit volunteers to help cover shifts at the centre during our summer season opening hours, (Mon to Fri 3 – 9pm, and Sat & Sun 1-5pm, April to September). Shifts are split into two hour blocks, with volunteers working in pairs. General duties can include putting out equipment, taking bookings, operating the till, and potentially opening or closing the centre (depending on the shift signed up for). Although Albury is a sports centre, no sports experience is required although volunteering at the Centre can earns membership discounts! The Albury Outdoor Sports Centre has been run by volunteers since May 2011, and usage of the centre has increased year on year, due to the dedication and commitment of the volunteers involved. The centre would not be able to open without the continued support of volunteers, and new volunteers are always welcomed. Our main aims are to: (i) promote the Centre within the local community and to encourage all to join regardless of ability or age, and (ii) maximise usage of the Centre through development of services and facilities. Please contact Eileen Grant 01224 571683 volunteers@alburysportscentre.org

Are you a Cricket fan? Want to get involved through volunteering. Like all sports, cricket needs people who take on organisational and officiating roles to make it possible for others to play. Every match played requires a host of volunteer input to make them run smoothly so whether you want to get involved as a Scorer, Umpire, Match Secretary, Coaches and assistants, Captains, Parental Liaison, Schools, Volunteer driver there will always be an opportunity for you? We currently have opportunities for people to become involved in: · Scoring – keeping match scores, maintaining statistics etc. · Umpiring- the cricket equivalent of refereeing We run two adult teams which play on Saturdays, Sundays and on some mid-week evenings and are looking to recruit scorers and umpires for both teams. These opportunities would be suitable for people who have an interest in sport, but do not wish to participate as players. They provide an opportunity to be part of the team, without taking part in the more physical elements of the game. There are established pathways in these disciplines that allow people to progress from officiating at local clubs through to international sport. Get in touch to start your volunteering journey at Strathmore Cricket Club.

In 2018 and 2019, Strathmore Cricket Club ran cricket events exclusively for girls and women. These events had two elements: · CricHit – which is an exercise and fitness programme specifically developed for females · Softball Cricket – cricket games played with a softball The club plans to develop cricket for girls and women in 2020 and needs volunteers to help it do that. The club’s ambition is to establish regular girls and women’s sessions. CricHit – we would like to recruit and train volunteers who can deliver this programme to groups of girls and women. We would like to see the programme offered as an extra-curricular activity in school and on a regular basis at the club and in the community. Softball Cricket - This is the fastest growing aspect of the sport of cricket, in Scotland and across the world. We want to make sure that Forfar is part of that development. Girls’ and Women’s softball sessions are intended to be fun and social events. They normally include a mix of activities and games – with plenty of time for participants to socialise. They are flexible and try to take account of what participants want to do. For those who want to play more competitive games, sessions can be adjusted to make this possible. Strathmore Cricket Club is seeking to establish regular sessions at the club We are also keen to develop sessions at Forfar Academy – open to students and staff and have run some sessions for Brownie and Guide Groups in the past so the possibilities for this new venture are endless! To take these opportunities forward we also need volunteers in different roles, including to: · Promote and market programmes · Organise the cricket activities · Organise the social elements of events – music, catering etc This opportunity would be of interest to people interested in sports development, youth work, hospitality, marketing and promotion as well as for girls and women with an interest in fitness and sport.
