Sport clubs for athletes with a disability often rely heavily on volunteers to contribute their time and skills. Coaches often come to mind when one considers volunteers involved in sport clubs however there are many other volunteer positions that contribute to a successful club or program. During practices and at games clubs often require support volunteers to help out by giving an extra hand. For example sledge hockey clubs often include volunteer on-ice pushers and boccia club volunteers help hold athlete's ramps and retrieve balls after each end. Aside from helping out directly with practices or games, other less "sport" related volunteer roles that are found in sport clubs include executive committee roles such as a treasurer, secretary, team manager or fundraiser. These roles are ideal for those who are interested in helping out but who might not have an athletic inclination or cannot commit to scheduled practices.
