Volunteers & Coaches

Sport relies on the commitment of volunteers who give their time and energy to provide opportunites to people, and to ensure the continued success of clubs

Sports volunteering can cover a range of activites from coaching, player development, running training sessions through to club adminstration, fundraising and the organisation of events, competitions and leagues

By giving your time you can develop yourself in a number of different ways:

Enhanced confidence and personal development opportunities
Gaining experience in a variety of different roles
Improving your life skills
Making yourself more employable
Gaining enjoyment and satisfaction of providing a service to others
Developing your career, training and have the opportunity to achieve recognised qualifications
Making lifelong friends through sport
Being recognised as a valued member of the local community

Sporting activity and success would not be possible without the quality coaches, officials and volunteers. Sport needs all of us to help talented sports people to achieve their dreams. Volunteer; give your time and talent to the future champions of Stockton on Tees

If you would like to become a sports volunteer or if you are a coach, or are considering becoming one the Leisure and Sports Development Team are committed to supporting you. Our aim is to help our coaches, volunteers and officials develop their skills, knowledge and experience across all sports

Coachwide Boost

Is an initiative by Stockton Borough Council's Leisure and Sports Development Team that aims to provide a cohesive, inclusive and valued coaching system and ensures consistent high quality delivery through a range of minimum operating standards which are set against a set of criterion that coaches can gain

The programme supports people wishing to enhance their coaching skills and ensures that volunteers and coaches have the necessary qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience

There are four levels to Coachwide Boost:

Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum

Each level has a set criterion that coaches and volunteers work towards, advancing through the levels as they meet the criteria
