share your skills

There are many reasons to volunteer in football. Volunteers make the grassroots game happen and create the next generation of sporting stars.

QUALIFICATIONS?

Some volunteering opportunities require certain skills such as coaching which may require qualifications but clubs, local authorities and community sport hubs often provide training or will support you to find the right training.

Often sport organisations are looking for personal skills, such as being able to get on with a wide variety of people, being reliable and being enthusiastic about the club you’re involved in.

awards and recognition

Volunteers are the heroes of football. Without volunteers, grassroots could not run the way it does and, for that reason, you could benefit from a number of award schemes and recognition from your club.

Of course you should be thanked informally for the time you dedicate, but you can also be formally recognised for your commitment and contribution through awards. Get in touch if you’d like to find out more.
