Be an AFP Volunteer

Are you keen to join us as AFP volunteer and help grow the sport of Pickleball in Asia?

We accept volunteers [talents] beyond Asia and the team members will leverage on Zoom / MS Teams to communicate and to complete the tasks.

Depending on the urgency of the requirements, each member is unlikely to spend 5 workdays (40 hours) per month on the agreed tasks. Some members are working adults so most of us complete our assigned work during weekdays 9-11pm or during weekends at our own pace.

If you are a volunteer with our tournament teams, be it as a Committee member, Chief referee, Technical Official or Line judge, there will be a need for traveling (spending more time) when we have AFP sanction games.

Do note that at this present moment, the volunteer works are without compensation and will consume your personal and family time. AFP appreciates your commitment and your contributions to promoting the sport of Pickleball in Asia. If you think that the volunteer opportunity suits you, please email us your resume, and share with us your education, work experience, and plans.
