Interested in volunteering for Glasgow 2014?
Although the Games do not commence until 23rd July 2014, plans are already well advanced and recruitment of volunteers is beginning…
The Glasgow 2014 Volunteer site is now live! As we get closer to the UK’s next big sporting event, volunteers are vital to making sure everything runs smoothly. And, hopefully, that’s where you come in.

The role of volunteers at London 2012 was particular successful. The wrestling competition demonstrated the importance of having the right people in place to support the running of the competition.

The Scottish Wrestling Association is also asking those interested in any of these posts above to email the Scottish Wrestling Association secretary Brian Harper brian.harper537@btinternet.com with details of the post you wish to apply for. That will allow the Scottish Wrestling Association to add their support your application.
