Volunteer: TRU Student Volunteer Position - Safe Play: Injury Prevention & Wellness Program

Help others stay active, play safely, and keep coming back to the game they love. 

Kamloops Pickleball Club (KPC) is a vibrant, fast-growing sport club with over 500 active members ranging from casual players to passionate competitors. We’re looking for a team of 2 - 3 motivated students to help us shape a wellness-focused safety program designed for real players in a volunteer-run environment. 

This isn’t a fitness class or exercise design role. Instead, you’ll help us create a clear, simple structure for encouraging smart movement, safe play habits, and injury awareness — using guidance from qualified partners and reviewed materials. 


Training will be provided by our Project Liaisons. Volunteers will receive clarification of the project objectives, along with an orientation to our club's mission, structure, website and available resources. Our Project Liaisons will also be available to provide on-going support throughout the project, facilitating collaboration and communication between the project team and Kamloops Pickleball Club and working with the team to keep the project moving forward. 

 


What You’ll Do 

Research injury trends in recreational pickleball and similar sports 

Help structure a “Safe Play” concept that fits our club setting 

Draft education-based materials (e.g., tip sheets, signage, basic warm-up visuals) using information sourced from credible wellness or health partners 

Suggest delivery methods that suit a volunteer-run club — such as signage, short talks, or peer-led moments before games 

Propose a simple framework for future volunteers (e.g., “Wellness Captains”) to support safe play on an ongoing basis 

Work in partnership with your KPC liaison, who will handle all outreach or approvals related to external organizations (e.g., Inspire Chiropractic) 

What You Bring 

You’re studying kinesiology, health sciences, physical education, or a related field 

You’re interested in injury prevention, movement awareness, and community wellness 

You’re comfortable turning evidence-based concepts into simple, relatable ideas 

You’re collaborative, practical, and understand the importance of staying within scope 

What You’ll Gain 

Experience structuring health education in a real-world, community-based setting 

A tangible project for your portfolio or resume 

Mentorship from volunteers and support from your KPC project liaison 

The opportunity to improve safety and confidence for hundreds of recreational athletes 

A clear role in designing for real-world impact — without overstepping your field of practice 

Time Commitment 

Flexible hours, approximately 2–4 hours per week 

Mix of virtual and in-person collaboration based on your preference and availability 

Ideal for a 2–3month project window (to be confirmed based on your schedule)
