“Working with children is a great opportunity for me as I am doing a Masters in Education and hope to become a teacher. I have had to learn to be organised, flexible and approachable. These are fantastic life skills. I would definitely recommend sports volunteering as the experiences and skills you develop can help in many different situations”
