Recruit New Volunteers - 'Be Involved'

Volunteers are the most valuable resource a cricket club has. They are a priceless investment using their time, expertise, passion, quality, and patience for their community clubs. There is now a resource available to clubs to assist in the recruitment of volunteers.  It is ‘Introduction to Cricket – Be Involved’. 

The overall aim of the workshop is:

· To raise awareness of volunteering opportunities at your club

· To provide basic information on the role that a cricket club plays in the nurturing and development of cricket talent and how parents and others can help support their children’s cricket and sporting development.

· To give those attending the course the opportunity to practically experience coaching, umpiring and scoring.

· To help reduce any uncertainty, put at ease and motivate those people who are new to the sport of cricket.

Most clubs need volunteers and the DCB is committed to making these workshops widely available to clubs.  We believe that this course can be effectively delivered by club members (facilitators) who know their own club. 

If your club would like to deliver a ‘Be Involved’ Course contact Mick Glenn or Jacqui Hendrick at the DCB Office to discuss further.
