Do you have what it takes to describe all the action on and off the pitch? Can you convey the sights, smells and atmosphere of a match night experience through your words?
To make rugby truly inclusive we are looking for a dedicated team of volunteer commentators who can make match nights come alive for people affected by sight or hearing loss.
So what's in it for you?
You will have the opportunity to get involved in the sport you love, getting a unique perspective on a match night and making new friends as part of the commentary team. You will gain satisfaction from knowing that you are helping individuals with sight or hearing loss to enjoy rugby as much as you do.
What will you be doing?
- Using the stadium's audio equipment you will relay a second-by-second account of the match as well as describing the sights and atmosphere around the stadium.
- You will work as part of a team, integrating guest commentators such as injured players and referees.
- You could also be one of the 'voices' of the Nevin Spence Centre, helping to record information about the centre for visitors wishing to use the PENfriend system.
When and where?
We hope to recruit a team of six volunteers who will work in pairs on match nights (generally Fridays or Saturdays) during the rugby season (late August-May). It is hoped that working on a shared, rotational basis we will be able to have a commentary team at all of the season's fixtures.
The role will be reviewed every year at the end of the season with the potential for the successful volunteers to renew their interest each year. This role will be based at Kingspan Stadium, located beside the media suite in the Grandstand.
