Coaching
Becoming an athletics coach can be a fulfilling experience for those who are passionate about helping athletes achieve their full potential.
As a coach, you will have the opportunity to inspire and guide athletes as they work towards their goals. You will help athletes develop their skills and improve their performance, both on and off the track. Coaching also provides a platform for you to share your own knowledge and experience, and to give back to the sport you love.

Club Helpers
Volunteering offers numerous benefits, including giving back to the community, developing new skills, making new friends, and boosting your mental and physical well-being.
Athletics Victoria hosts many events throughout the year and they would not be able to provide the events to the current standards without the support of our volunteers, the Club Helpers.
Additionally there are many other opportunities to volunteer such as helping out at fundraising events (Bunnings BBQs), help organise social events (club’s annual Christmas event or presentation evenings), or helping with set up and pack down of events.
