 Volunteering

 

 

 

 

Our club is a non profit amateur sport association and our continued success is linked directly to our great volunteer base.  An organization such as this can only be successful by the commitment and dedication of our volunteers.

Everything you see at the track right from our officials, coaches, registration, concession, and so on is completely run by volunteers.  With a facility such as Airdrie BMX there are countless hours spent maintaining our track and facilities, event organization, and general club operations that are solely run on a volunteer basis.

Unlike many other amateur sporting organizations, Airdrie BMX does not collect a fee at the beginning of the season that can be worked off through volunteer hours.  We prefer to have volunteers that feel like that they are part of the club and volunteer because they want to see the club succeed and be an integral part of their child’s or their own amateur sport experience.

Volunteering at Airdrie BMX is not an exclusive club within a club.  We welcome and encourage anyone at anytime that is willing to donate their time to the club.  Any volunteering no matter how big or small is very much appreciated and your generous donation of time and effort is what will continue to make Airdrie BMX a great club to be a part of.

Volunteers are essential to Airdrie BMX and are needed for every district race in Airdrie.
