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.

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

We invite you to get involved where you feel most comfortable to help create the best possible experience for your children.

Saturday Morning Set-Up is one of our most important volunteering tasks. We ask an age group every week, on a rotational basis, to assist in getting all the event sites and the Canteen & BBQ prepared and ready. Helping to move high jump bags, move throwing equipment to where it needs to go, or cutting up bread rolls in the Canteen; there is a job that anyone can undertake that will help us run a smooth and successful morning for ALL !!! 

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