Getting Involved In Bournemouth Rugby
Our mission is to bring the enjoyment, benefit, and values of rugby and communal sport to adults, children, families, and businesses in Bournemouth and our surrounding community
We have been doing this for over 125 years!
Successful rugby clubs are more than just about the teams we field on the pitch. Players and coaches are vitally important but so are the dedicated volunteers who work hard behind the scenes to help our club function. We believe they are the lifeblood of a sustainable club, and without which our club simply will not survive.
As a volunteer we know you don’t have to be a rugby expert to get involved. Whether you are a current or former player, a spouse or partner, or someone who has never even played the game, you could have what it takes to make a difference as a valued volunteer at Bournemouth Rugby.
The benefits of volunteering are specific to everyone. The inclusive environment of a community rugby club such as ours, is a rewarding place to be for people with differing skills. There are opportunities to get involved for people of all ages, and some of the benefits include:
- Building self-esteem and confidence
- Learning and developing new skills
- Enhancing work experience and building a CV
- Being active and improving health and wellbeing
- Meeting new people and broadening your social network
- Giving something back to the game you love
- Making a difference in the community
- Having fun!
How Do I Volunteer at Bournemouth Rugby?
The benefits of volunteering at the rugby club are clear, but what kinds of roles are available and what sort of people are wanted? As a club we are keen to help and provide some guidelines to the initial questions budding volunteers may have. We want to make your experience as a rugby volunteering as easy and enjoyable as possible.
What sort of skills and attributes are we looking for?
Enthusiasm is the key. If that is present, we will welcome you with open arms. Whether you can raise vital funds, promote the club, assist with accounting or organisation, the club will be lucky to have your help.
What sort of volunteering opportunities are available?
We have a host of roles ranging from fundraising, public relations, match days, coaching, team manager and more. As a club we take a one role approach so as not to overburden one volunteer. For role descriptions and for an informal chat please do get in touch.
