Dear Parents
This is an exciting time for the Club as we expand in size. This year we will hit the 1000 player mark, and 250 volunteers, but there is so much more we can do in the Community and for your child. We have a number of projects we would like to either grow or start, and we are looking for more people to come on board. We are looking to fill the following roles and whether, you, your son/daughter, family friend or colleague can help, we would like to hear from you and them.
TRUSTEE
We are looking for people to come on board and be a Trustee. This role is to work with the Trustees to oversee the day to day running of the Club. This would require you to attend meetings once every two months and interact through emails. This should only take about four to five hours per month. Good administration and communication skills are required.
SOCCER ACADEMY COACH
We are looking to bring on a coach who will look to work with the youngest kids in the Club as we build the age groups moving forward. The person will be highly motivated and look to grow the academy. Due to the nature of this post we would be looking to pay for their coaching certificates, and look to support them in their career path. We would be looking at two to three hours per week. They would need to have a prepared schedule of coaching every week and be organised. We are looking for someone 18 years and up. If they are attending college or University we would also look to right a reference for them.
SENIOR TEAMS MATCH DAY
With both our senior teams doing really well, we are looking to grow the support behind the scenes and make them better. With players now coming through the ranks from the lower age groups, we want to ensure that they are supported on matchdays and promote these teams to everyone. If you can spare a couple of hours every home game, then you could make a major difference. This could be for hospitality, gate management etc. Your support will make a difference. We are looking for people 16 years and up.
MIDNIGHT LEAGUE
We are looking to run a session for 16-18 year olds who cant continue to play organised football due to commitment at college/university and part time jobs. We need a Co Ordinator for one hour a week to help them set up five/sevens games against other teams/clubs in the same situation. The person will have good communication skills and be able to support these young people to play football.
WALKING CLUB
In our push to expand the remit of the Club, we are looking for a Co Ordinator for this. Once a week for and hour and a half. Set up a plan, have a meeting and finishing point and have a cup of tea/biscuit and a chat.
KIT COLLECTION/SWAP
We have loads of kit throughout the Club and parents that are in really good condition, but are of no use to kids as they have grown out of them. We want to re use these items to help prevent waste and ensure we can support those kids who are struggling. This would need minimal involvement other to look after the location and good communication skills. This maybe five to six hours a month.
SUMMER CAMP SUPPORT
We are running a Summer Camp in July and looking for helpers at it who will get expenses for it. We are looking at running Monday to Friday 10am to 3pm. Admin and coaching roles are available.
SOCIAL MEDIA TEAM
We need to get our name out there and celebrate what we do, and promote our sponsors. We need people especially young people who are TikTok/Instagram/X/Facebook savvy to come on board and help us.
CLUB FUNDRAISER
We need a Fundraiser who will generate money for the Club as a whole. We have many shared things that we use in fun four goals etc. And we need someone who is highly motivated to come on board.
YOUNG LEADERS
We are looking for people aged between 15 and 21 years of age to help run the Club and take on responsible positions for the next generation. These guys can give as much or as little time as they can. We will write references for them should they require it for college/university or a job.
OVER 50S FOOTBALL
We are looking for those over the age of 50 to come and play football on a weekly basis. We have separate sessions for both men and women weekly.
