Rotherham Harriers Athletics Club puts out an appeal for new faces
GROUP leaders, coaches and volunteers are needed by Rotherham Harriers Athletics Club to help inspire the next generation of athletes.
The club, based at Herringthorpe Stadium, has put out an appeal for new faces and no previous experience is necessary.
The volunteers will support Harriers’ qualified coaches in delivering structured and enjoyable sessions to young athletes within its Fundamentals and Development groups.
And for anyone interested in coaching, the club will fund an Assistant Coach qualification through England Athletics and offer hands-on experience across multiple disciplines alongside its experienced coaching team.
A Harriers spokeswoman said: “These roles are a rewarding way to get involved and support grassroots athletics.”
Harriers holds club nights on Mondays and/or Wednesdays (6pm-7.15pm) at Herringthorpe Stadium.

Meanwhile, Harriers’ Joe Massingham ventured to Spain to line up with 16,700 athletes at the Seville Half Marathon and delivered an outstanding performance in unusually wet and windy conditions.
He crossed the finish line 23rd overall in 1:06.30.
Clubmate Becky Marsden competed nearer to home at the Tissington 10K in Ashbourne, Derbyshire.
Following a stunning route along the Tissington Trail set against the views of the Derbyshire Dales, she powered home in one hour exactly despite the rain.
