Kent AC is a voluntary organisation. All the benefits of your membership: access to competition, team management, training groups, coaching, subsidised transport, networking, social events, access to the track, etc, and the administrative activities behind these, eg membership and finance are carried out by volunteers. These are ordinary members who are active athletes, many of whom have a career, or family, or both. Many of them do more than one job, some have been doing their role for a very long time.
The club always has need for people to help out. There is something whatever your skills or the time you have available. It could be something ongoing, such as supporting one of the committee roles, or a one off such as helping at a fixture or event.
There is more detail on three specific areas below.

If you are interested in becoming a coach please contact Ted Aston, the Coaching Secretary, to talk about how you can...
