Why Should You Get Involved

Why Should You Volunteer

The first question often asked is 'why should I volunteer?' Well, volunteering has many benefits for yourself, your club and your community.

Yourself

Volunteering can open up a whole new world. It can help you to gain skills which can then be used in other jobs and careers. It can help you to meet new people and find out more about your local area and the game. It can help to keep you fit and active too!

  Your Club

Without volunteers clubs, leagues and Service Areas would cease to exist. The work of volunteers keeps the players on the pitch, games being played and the club running. Volunteers do a whole variety of tasks such as administration, looking after kit, providing and serving refreshments, fundraising, representing the clubs at meetings, coaching, ensuring child protection policies are adhered to and keeping an eye on funds - to name but a few!

Your Community

Rugby League helps to provide a community focus in many areas throughout the country - being a volunteer will help to keep this alive and kicking. The sport helps to keep young people off the streets and engaged in a worthwhile activity; it keeps people fit and healthy and it can provide a great deal of support for the area.
