Volunteers Make Inverleith Hockey Happen
We are an amateur sports club, run by the players for the players. We have a few paid coaches but
everything else that happens in our club happens because of our amazing volunteers.

Why volunteer?
Studies consistently show that volunteering is good for you! Helping others, connecting with people, getting outside and practicing new skills.
As a volunteer you are also a role model to our young people, showing them that they too can make fun things happen in the physical world by joining in, organising and making connections.
What do volunteers do?
Coach:
The club will support any members or parents wanting to develop their leadership and coaching skills. We can point you to relevant courses and can help with funding. Our youth and adult teams are always looking for coaches to help them to oganise and improve.
Umpire:
All adult league teams are expected to provide a rota of umpires to help other teams. Not very confident with the rules? We can help you get the training you need.

First Aider:
Perhaps you’re a doctor, nurse or trained 1st aider already, or would like to attend a course to become one. We always need trained 1st aiders by our pitches and it would be great to know who you are.
Club Management:
Finance, social media and communications, kit secretary, volunteer development, sponsorship & strategy – there are many roles that you could help with on and off the pitch.
Commitment:
You can give as much or as little time as suits your situation.
If you are helping youth players, we would ask that you join the PVG scheme. We will help with this.
