Help our youngest athletes take their first steps in sport!

Tiger Wests Little Athletics Club is looking for a friendly and enthusiastic volunteer to coordinate our Tiny Tots program for children aged 3–4 years.

Tiny Tots is a fun, play-based introduction to athletics that helps young children develop fundamental movement skills including running, jumping, throwing, balancing and coordination.

What you'll be doing

• Lead a group of approximately 10 children aged 3–4 years
• Deliver a fun and engaging 45–60 minute session each Friday evening
• Follow the provided Tiny Tots activities and session plans
• Encourage children to participate, have fun and develop confidence
• Create a welcoming and inclusive environment for children and their parents
• Work alongside parents, who are encouraged to assist with activities

Flexible seasonal commitment

You don't have to commit to the entire season.

Volunteers can choose to coordinate either:

• First half of the season: September – November
• Second half of the season: February – March

If you'd like to do both, we'd love to have you for the full season!

What we provide

No previous athletics coaching experience is required.

We provide:

• All equipment required
• Structured Tiny Tots session plans and activity resources
• Training and guidance to help you get started
• Support from the club committee and other volunteers
• A friendly, family-focused club environment

Who we're looking for

We're looking for someone who is:

• Friendly, patient and enthusiastic
• Comfortable working with young children
• Reliable and able to commit to Friday evenings during their chosen part of the season
• Interested in helping children develop confidence and a love of sport
• Willing to learn – no previous athletics experience is required

Important requirement

A current Working With Children Check (WWCC) is mandatory for this volunteer role.

When

Friday evenings – approximately 1 hour per week

You can volunteer for either September–November or February–March, making this a great opportunity for someone who wants to give back to their local community without needing to make a year-round commitment.

Why volunteer?

This is a wonderful opportunity to help children have a positive first experience of organised sport. Tiny Tots focuses on participation, movement, confidence and enjoyment rather than competition.

You'll be helping create an environment where young children can run, jump, throw, play and make friends – while becoming part of a friendly community athletics club.

Come and help us give our youngest athletes a great start!
