There would be no club without volunteers. No children running around at training on a Saturday morning. No girls’ rugby. No senior team togging out for a cup match.
This is all achieved through countless hours by volunteers, giving of their time. Every hour they give makes a difference. And so can you!
How? That depends on you.
There are currently over 50 roles at the club so there are loads of positions within the club to choose from. There is a great blend of on and off the field activities (so don’t worry if you still get flummoxed by the rules of rugby!!).
Of those 50 roles, we are currently actively recruiting for 17. You’ll find a list of these roles detailed below.
Youth Coach
Coaching experience would be preferred along with a decent knowledge of rugby. You will have the opportunity to do Munster coaching courses. All coaches must be vetted by the Child Welfare officer. Responsible for player development.
Minis Coach
No experience is needed. Just a love of rugby and bags of energy and enthusiasm! You will have the opportunity to do Munster coaching courses so don’t worry about the rules of rugby. First aid courses will also be offered. All coaches must be vetted by the Child Welfare officer.
Social Media Volunteer
Work with the Public Relations Officer to promote the club, build the brand, contribute and filter and guide the social media presence.
Commercial Manager
Manage advertising and sponsorship programmes for the club to create sustainable income and use the club assets to its full potential.
Player Registrar (Adult, Youth)
To be the keeper of the official information about player registration, ensuring all players are eligible to take part in competitions
Volunteer Coordinator

Major Events Coordinators

School Liaison Officer
To create mutually beneficial links with local education institutions.
Fundraising Coordinator

Minis Volunteer
Responsible for helping create a positive environment for parents at minis training.
Coaching Coordinator

Transition Officer
Adding a transition officer position to a club structure is a simple and effective way of addressing Youth player loss and
will create clear lines of responsibility and have tangible impact on the retention of players.
Vice-Chairperson(s)
Assist the Chairperson with the day-to-day running of the club.
Vice-President(s)
Represent the club when the President isn’t available.
Club Ambassador
To build the club’s profile in the public and private sectors and help the Commercial Manager explore opportunities.
Membership Development Officer
To grow the club needs to increase the number of non-playing adult members. To facilitate this the club should make membership as attractive as possible. The Membership Development Officer would therefore develop the package offered to club members (international tickets, reductions etc) while also seeking to entice back former members.
Walking Rugby Coordinator
Coordinate and publicise the club’s Walking Rugby Activities. Organise training. Make contact with other clubs around Ireland and the UK with a view to organising tournaments.
We know time is key. Gone are the days of asking people to “Give a hand”. Life is too hectic for all of us. Instead, our approach is to say “here is a role, here are the hours involved, are you interested?”
Don’t see anything that interests you? No problem – just get in touch anyway and we can build a tailored role that suits your availability and skills. Killarney RFC is a club for everyone!
Remember, every hour makes a difference! Make yours!
