GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
PLAY YOUR PART
Grassroots football wouldn’t exist without volunteers - From secretaries and coaches, to line markers and tea makers, local clubs need volunteers to keep running.
There are loads of benefits to volunteering, including:
Building your CV
Making new friends from all walks of life

Providing more opportunities in the local community

FAQS
How much time do I need to commit?
Some roles can be carried out with as little as an hour a week, so there’s definitely a role out there for you!
Do I need any qualifications to volunteer?
The only roles where there is a requirement for qualifications are where there is constant contact with youth players (Under 18 and below), such as coach, manager, physio and welfare officer. A Criminal Record Check (CRC) will need to be completed prior to working with Under 18s.
Respect
The FA's Respect programme provides a series of tools for leagues, clubs, coaches, players and parents from grassroots to elite football - to help ensure a safe, positive environment in which to play the game.
