Parents And Carer Help

Balmain Athletics Club is "powered" by parents, carers and community volunteers

As many of you know, athletics operates in a fundamentally different way to many other community sports. We are a people-powered Club and need your help to make the magic happen at KGO!

All Age Managers, Committee members and Officials are volunteers. Club coaches are paid for their time.

Age Managers volunteer for the whole season. They are a highly valued and vital part of the Balmain Athletics community! To create a fun and safe environment for our athletes, each age group needs a team of volunteers to assist with athlete supervision, event running and recording results - around 6-8 helpers are needed each week, especially with the larger age groups in the 6s to 12s.

This season, we are trying a new approach to engage volunteers on a Saturday morning.

  • You choose your preferred activity.
  • Sign-up for volunteer duties every three weeks.
  • Your number of duties in the three week block equals the number of athletes registered in your family. 

The volunteer roles include BBQ, Canteen, Marshaling athletes (track specific), Event support (with your child’s age group), Record results (with your child’s age group) and Set Up.

We invite you to get involved where you feel most comfortable to help create the best possible experience for your children. Click here to sign-up for your first volunteer experience/s.

We will send an email three weeks in advance of the next volunteer block. Send any comments or questions to info@balmainlac.org.au

We are very proud of the community vibe at the Club. It is part of our ethos that parents/carers get involved to encourage and support all our athletes. 

All our Age Managers and Committee Members are volunteers. If you are interested in supporting the Club in any way or would like to join the Committee, speak to a Committee Member, send us an email or complete the online nomination form at the end of the season. Help is always appreciated.
