The above would depend on the requirements of the client. They may want to go to a one-off
athletics event where the volunteer would be required around the time of that, or the client may
want to frequently attend their team’s sport matches each week.
We would assume that these events will mainly occur during the weekend, but not entirely restricted to weekends only.
