Hockey club volunteer management

Volunteer management software for hockey clubs

Turf bookings from early morning to late at night, umpires to cover and a canteen and bar to keep open in between. VolunTeam puts the whole day's duties on one roster your members can fill themselves.

  • Bench, timing and scoring per match
  • Umpire and technical official duties
  • Canteen and bar blocks across a long day
  • Reminders before every duty, swaps instead of no-shows

Hockey volunteer roles you can roster

Numbers are a guide only — set your own slots, names and times to match how your club runs.

Long turf days broken into real shifts

A turf day can run twelve hours. Split it into blocks inside one opportunity so volunteers see a two-hour commitment, not an all-day one, and the card on your public page stays tidy.

  • Multi-slot opportunities grouped into one card
  • Named jobs like Bench, Timing, Bar
  • Grouped by date so each turf day reads clearly

Umpiring rosters that don't live in a spreadsheet

Post umpire duties alongside everything else, let qualified members claim them, and track who has umpired how many matches this season through logged hours.

  • Hours logged per volunteer and per role
  • CSV export for committee reporting
  • Shift swap requests with admin approval

Recognise the regulars

Volunteer of the Month and a public Hall of Fame page give you an easy, genuine way to thank the people who keep the turf running week after week.

Common questions

Can we roster umpires separately from general duties?

Yes. Umpiring can be its own role with its own slots, so it never gets mixed in with canteen or bench duty.

Can volunteers cover shifts at more than one club?

Yes. A volunteer account works across every club they help at, with all their shifts and hours in one dashboard.
