Volunteers needed to help drive the growth of Recreational Cricket in Nottinghamshire
Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club are looking for enthusiastic and passionate volunteers to help grow and develop the recreational game in Nottinghamshire.

Alongside Notts ACO and Nottingham Youth Cricket League there are five exciting opportunities across the game for volunteers to apply for:
Opportunity 1 – Strategic Sub Group Volunteers (Workforce / Young People / Women & Girls / Clubs & Leagues): 12 volunteer roles
We are looking for three individuals for each of these Strategic Sub Groups who are representative of our cricket community and are passionate about driving the game forward in Nottinghamshire.

Opportunity 2 – Chair of the Women and Girls Strategic Sub Group
We are looking for an individual who is passionate about women’s sport/ women’s cricket, who would like to lead a group of likeminded volunteers and lead Officers to grow the game for girls and women in Nottinghamshire.
