Frequency & commitment
Our season lasts from August until April. Each week will involve some organisation of travel or pitch hire. There will be some flexibility though there will be deadlines which have to be met for match days etc.
On average the Club Secretary would commit to 2 or 3 hours per week but we are a team and others will be able to step in if the club secretary is unavailable.
The Club holds around 5-6 meetings per year.
Volunteers (aged 12-25) taking part in this opportunity are eligible to claim Saltire Awards hours for their activity. Find out more
