It is important to recognise why people volunteer and what they can gain personally through volunteering. These benefits can be emphasised when recruiting volunteers for your club:

• give back to the sport/physical activity or the club;
• use their existing skills and learn new skills;
• social and family involvement;
• develop new interests;
• take on new responsibilities;
• enable other people to participate;
• know that they're making a difference - have a sense of personal achievement;
• be part of a team;
• build self confidence/self esteem;
• doing something worthwhile;
• gain relevant experience;
• to have fun!
