A well-run club should feature the backroom staff of a Fixtures Secretary, fundraisers, a welfare/child protection officer and a Chairperson to oversee the club’s constitution, as well as the frontline first aiders to act as physios and team coaches.
The FA recognises the value of volunteers and provides guides to clubs on how to recruit, retain and reward volunteers.

VolunteersThe lifeblood of the game
Football is not just about the players on the pitch. The FA is committed to supporting the volunteers in football that make up the backbone of grassroots football. Without volunteers the game at grassroots level would not exist as we know it.
