With multiple World Class sporting events coming to Adelaide and the 2032 Olympics coming to Australia, there has never been a better time to get involved in sports volunteering. If you're interested in gaining all the social, health and wellbeing benefits of becoming a volunteer, you can get involved by doing one of the following:

Contact your local sport or active recreation organisation and offer your services.

  • Let them know what specific area you would be most interested in volunteering in (e.g. coaching, officiating, administration) so that the organisation can provide opportunities that will be valuable to you.

Contact a State Sporting or Recreation Association and ask them if there are any volunteering opportunities available.

  • State sporting associations may require volunteers for major competitions (e.g. state championships), or be able to pass you on to organisations in need of volunteer.

Find opportunities to volunteer in sport through Volunteering SA&NT using the following links:
