Club Cricket Volunteering
Volunteering
Cricket Clubs in Worcestershire rely heavily on the hardwork and commitment from volunteers, people who for the love of the game devote many hours of their week developing their club as a committee member, coach or even a groundsman. Without the work of these unsung heros cricket in the county would not function as it does today. Volunteering is a great way to not only make a difference but to enhance your CV, gain awards as well as help out your local clubs.
The V Cricket programme is here to introduce young people into cricket, offering a broad range of volunteering opportunities: many of these roles at the club are taken up by one person as clubs often struggle to find new faces to help out.
| Club Chairman | Treasurer | Welfare Officer | Scorer | Coach |
| Secretary | Volunteer Co-Ordinator | Club Development Manager | General Maintenance | Assistant Coach |
| Bar Manager | Club Caterer | PR/Media | School-Club Link Officer | Fixtures Secretary |

| Fundraiser | Photographer | Official Umpire | Women's & Girl's Officer | Groundsman |
| Assistant Groundsman | Clubmark Officer | Junior Chairman | Head Coach | University links officer |
If you would like the opportunity to volunteer in one of these roles within your local club, you can complete a volunteer registration form and return it to the WCB who will find a suitable placement for you.
