//The Volunteering Office have details of the following local volunteering roles:
Run for All Event Support (April 16th/17th)
Assistant to Disability Games Team (April 17th)

Lincolnshire FA University Football Activator (Deadline: May 27th)
There are more roles advertised on their website too.
//University of Lincoln Women’s Football Club are looking for a coach for their 2nd team for next season, starting in September. Ideally they are looking for somebody who already holds a FA level 1 coaching qualification but this is not crucial as there is the opportunity for them to part fund someone who is keen to help them out.
ULWFC are a competitive and successful club and the person who fills the role would be able to work closely with and learn from the 1st team’s UEFA B qualified coach.
If anyone is interested then please contact Sandy Willmott first for contact details.
//An opportunity to gain valuable experience in schools and enhance your CV has arisen, through volunteering with VIRSCO and Lincolnshire Sport at their School Sports Challenge on July 18th. You will be required to run a section of a sports day at Newton-on-Trent School and will be taking down scores for a school-wide competition.
Costs of travel and expenses will be covered, although you are more than welcome to travel there with the VIRSCO team if you would struggle to get there otherwise.
Number of Positions: 5-10
Type of Position: Voluntary (expenses to be covered)
Deadline: 31st April
Open to: All Students
Requirements: Up to date DBS
For more information, please contact VIRSCO at info@virsco.co.uk
//Lincoln City FC Academy have an opportunity for students to help film their U16s for the rest of the season with a view to continuing next season. This role would be perfect for 1st and 2nd years who are looking to get involved in football performance analysis. The person/s would need to be available for most Sundays between now and the end of April and initially from September if possible (or when they return for the next year).
Students who have worked in similar roles with the Academy before have had very positive experiences, and have gone on to work or Masters programmes in the area of Performance Analysis.
Alongside this,there is also an opportunity for one or two people to work with the U18s next season.
If you would like to know more, or would like to be put in touch with students working with the Academy already, please contact Sandy Willmott at swillmott@lincoln.ac.uk
//A great opportunity to receive training and experience as a squash referee:
England Squash are offering students an opportunity to volunteer as a squash referee at the National Schools Championships at Nottingham Squash Club from 7th to 9th March 2016. The event is open to every school and includes schools and squash players of all standards from across the country. The competition has 4 categories – Boys Under 19, Girls Under 19, Boys Under 15 & Girls Under 15.
England Squash are looking to recruit and train volunteers to work as markers and referees at this event. Volunteers will need to attend a FREE Referee Workshop prior to the event and complete the Club Referee Exam. Some knowledge of squash, scoring & basic rules will be required. A minimum of 8 people are needed to make the workshop viable.
The England Squash referee training workshop delivers essential knowledge and understanding of the rules of squash and racketball, providing practical decision making processes to help attendees officiate within a club environment. The workshop is 3 – 4 hours in duration, is delivered in a meeting room/area through interactive activities incorporating quizzes, pairs/group work, PowerPoint presentation and video clip analysis.
Volunteers for the National School Championships will be required across the 3 days, but if they are available for 1 day or even for half a day that would be fantastic! Experienced, qualified England Squash referees will be on hand to support all students and can provide opportunities to develop as a referee if desired. Lunch & refreshments will be provided and nominal expenses paid. We can also provide volunteering certificates as evidence of the work undertaken.
If you would like to sign up, or learn more, please contact Sandy Willmott.
