Northumberland FA - developing football for everyone
Get Into Football

A football club is about far more than the players on the pitch. The FA is committed to supporting the volunteers in club football who make up the backbone of grassroots football.

A well-run club should feature the backroom staff of a Fixtures Secretary, fundraisers, a Club Welfare officer and a Chairperson to oversee the club’s constitution, as well as the frontline first aid providers who act as physios and the team coaches.

The FA recognises the value of volunteers and provides guides to clubs on how to recruit, retain and reward volunteers.
Please see the below pages for information on the Football workforce, Recruitment & selection of volunteers, as well as the soccer parent course.
