May 18th, 2009. In: CPSI
Tell the Irish Sports Council what you think as part of a study of sports volunteers working with children and you could WIN one of three vouchers for Champion Sports worth €100. You can also WIN your club an amazing prize of a training camp for 20 people for two nights B&B with one evening meal and access to state of the art training facilities at Breaffy International Sports Hotel.
on behalf of the Irish Sports Council in relation to a study investigating motivations, capacities, needs and resources of volunteers involved in delivering sport and physical activity programs to children between 4 and 18 years. This study is part of a larger research project examining the sports participation and physical activity levels of children in Ireland.
The Irish Sports Council is interested in two perspectives, the club and the volunteer perspective. There are two online questionnaires, the first questionnaire targets administrators and examines club issues of supporting, engaging and retaining the volunteer workforce. The second questionnaire targets volunteers who work directly with children and youth on the ground and examines issues that affect these people.
Each questionnaire takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The administrator questionnaire should be filled in by a member of the club (president, chairperson, administrator) who is in a position to represent the club’s view and has access to information about participants, facilities and the volunteer workforce. The volunteer questionnaire is for all volunteer participants (in any capacity including the administrators) that work in your club.
If you are the administrator and a volunteer we would encourage you to fill out both questionnaires.
Benefits to the participants
All participants who fully complete and submit a questionnaire will be entered into a prize draw. There are two prizes, one for each questionnaire. Those who fully complete the administrators’ survey on behalf of their club will have a chance to win an amazing prize for their club of a training weekend in Breaffy Sports Hotel, Castlebar including two nights B&B, one evening meal and access to all their state of the art training facilities, for more information please see www.lynchotels.com/BreaffySports. Those who complete the volunteer questionnaire will be entered into a draw to win one of three €100 sports vouchers from Champion Sports.
