How is your sports club doing? Is it always the same parents volunteering their free time as coaches, officials, and treasurers? You’re not alone. Did you know that voluntary work within the Swedish sports community is valued at a staggering 21 billion SEK if we had to pay for it? 💰 But here’s the catch – we’re seeing a troubling downward trend. Fewer people have the time and energy to volunteer. What’s causing this? And more importantly, how can we turn things around? 📈 This is where Favvos comes in. We’ve been partnering with sports clubs for years, streamlining volunteer planning and making staffing easier. Now, we’re stepping up our game to spark greater engagement and inspire more volunteers. Imagine the impact! Without volunteers, sports worldwide would come to a standstill! 💫 Curious about how we’re making a difference? Do you work in the sports sector and want to know more?

When it comes to volunteer management for a sporting event, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind. Here are some thoughts to help you with the process: 1. Define volunteer roles: Clearly outline the different roles volunteers will be fulfilling during the event. This could include ticketing, ushering, hospitality, crowd control, and more. Be specific about the tasks involved in each role to ensure volunteers understand their responsibilities. 2. Recruit volunteers: Advertise volunteer opportunities through various channels such as social media, local community organizations, schools, and online platforms for volunteer recruitment. Provide a simple and convenient registration process for volunteers to sign up. 3. Training and orientation: Conduct training sessions to familiarize volunteers with their roles and responsibilities. This should include information about the event, emergency procedures, customer service skills, and any specific instructions or protocols they need to follow. 4. Communication and coordination: Establish effective communication channels with volunteers to keep them informed before, during, and after the event. Use email, WhatsApp groups, or a dedicated volunteer management software to share updates, changes, and important information. 5. Recognition and appreciation: Show gratitude towards your volunteers by recognizing their efforts. This could include providing them with volunteer T-shirts or badges, offering refreshments during the event, or organizing a thank-you event afterward. Small gestures can go a long way in making volunteers feel valued. 6. Feedback and evaluation: After the event, collect feedback from volunteers to improve the volunteer management process for future events. This will help you learn from their experiences and make necessary adjustments. Remember that effective volunteer management is crucial for the success of your sporting event. By carefully considering these suggestions, you can create a positive experience for both volunteers and attendees. Good luck!

Volunteering in Tennis Clubs: The Power of Community and Responsibility Volunteering is more than just a good deed—it is a cornerstone of our society and an expression of solidarity in action. People who dedicate their time voluntarily to the club achieve great things: They coach young talents, promote team spirit, preserve nature, or offer support in challenging times. They are the unsung heroes who strengthen social cohesion and form the heart of our clubs. I especially want to encourage the younger generation to step into these roles. Volunteering not only teaches responsibility but also empathy and the value of togetherness. By serving others, we experience what it truly means to be part of a community—an invaluable experience that stays with us for life. But volunteering also comes with its challenges. That’s why it’s crucial to create professional structures, such as Club Managers, to relieve the volunteers. Only through a balanced interaction between voluntary work and professional support can we secure the future of our tennis clubs—and those evolving into multi-racket sports clubs. Together, we build a strong foundation for the next generation, fostering not just sports but also a sense of belonging and trust. Let’s have the courage to take responsibility and carry the power of community forward! #VolunteeringMatters #CommunityLeadership #PowerOfService #YouthEmpowerment #TennisClubs #FutureOfSports #SocialCohesion #TeamSpirit #VolunteerHeroes #ProfessionalSupport #TogetherWeGrow #StrengthInUnity #InspiringGenerations #BuildingTheFuture #SportsForAll #RacketSportsRevolution

Happy National Volunteer Week! I once overheard someone saying: “You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to be a volunteer in sport!” Yet, many people do volunteer, this is why I like to ask administrators, coaches, umpires and officials: “Why do you volunteer at your club/association?” Here are ten of my favourite responses: 1️⃣ I love seeing the kids having fun, especially if there’s other challenges going on in their lives. 2️⃣ It’s the connection to community, encouraging kids to reach their goals and achieve as a team. 3️⃣ I love being part of my kids’ sport; I joined the committee to be involved and to give back to the community in a positive way. 4️⃣ I love watching my daughter with her friends, sport is such a great social connector. 5️⃣ It’s the sense of community, the fitness, wellbeing, friendships and team. 6️⃣ It’s the skills improvement, the sense of achievement the kids get. 7️⃣ I love seeing teenage girls come together, all from different schools, and form that bond. 8️⃣ I like to show how rewarding being an umpire is (umpire). 9️⃣ I just love it when it all comes together, and there’s that beautiful passage of play (coach). 💲 I want to see the club say afloat (Treasurer). Why do you volunteer in sport? #Volunteers #Sport #Thankyou

💪🏈 Volunteering: The Backbone of Our Communities Today, I want to step out of the professional world and share something personal. As a coach for the Balingen Bucks, an American Football team, I’m proud to see our squad preparing for its first-ever league season next year. It’s an exciting journey made possible by the tireless efforts of volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to making local sports thrive. But here’s the reality: finding people willing to take on volunteer roles—whether as coaches, mentors, or helpers—is getting harder. And this challenge isn’t just limited to sports. Schools, cultural organizations, emergency services, and many other institutions are all feeling the pressure of too few hands to help. 🛠️ Have you noticed this trend in your own community? 🙋♂️ What motivates you to volunteer, or what might inspire you to start? Volunteering is about more than filling a gap—it’s about creating connections, building stronger communities, and shaping the future. Let’s open the conversation and share how we can all contribute, in big or small ways, to keep these vital organizations alive. #Volunteering #Community #AmericanFootball #BalingenBucks #MakingADifference
