Officiating, Coaching and Volunteering

Are you interested in sports coaching or officiating? Do you hold appropriate sporting qualifications? Get in touch to see if we have any opportunities available for you by emailing sport@tees.ac.uk

We work with YesRef to source and pay our sports officials. This is a free to join platform and we would encourage anyone interested in officiating to sign up for opportunities.

Would you like to volunteer your time and develop your skills within sport? We have opportunities for students to get involved through our Sports Leaders Programme. In conjunction with the VolunTees Team, this programme allows students to work with a sports club on their programme and developments, develop a range of skills through the work, gather experience within the sports development sector and take part in a CPD programme to develop themselves. If you are interested in taking part please email sport@tees.ac.uk.
