Team Play
We rely on the amazing army of volunteers, who provide so much support and share our love for local football.
Your hard work, passion and dedication are hugely appreciated. Together, we are one team.
The FA have committed to a longer-term nationwide recruitment campaign to raise the profile and boost the growth of volunteers within football, with a focus on young people and the needs of the volunteer…
…however, Oxfordshire FA is already ahead of the game.
Our strategic partnership with Oxfordshire Community and Volunteering Action (OCVA) includes initiatives to encourage and promote local volunteering, which guide people to where they can get involved to become as much of a part of the team off the pitch, as on it.
The OXVA Oxon Volunteers website provides a portal for people to find out about volunteering opportunities across Oxfordshire, with links to our own page that connect with our accredited local clubs and leagues.
In addition, Oxfordshire FA’s Youth Leadership Team have created the innovative #OXFANextGen Volunteer Development Programme for 14 to 24 year-olds, which is aimed at recruiting, developing, and inspiring youth leaders across the county.
The aim is to help young people as coaches, referees, and committee members, while also better equipping them for future career paths.
We’ll build on this by promoting careers through football, signposting people to local sports apprenticeships and football-based job opportunities, such as physiotherapy, performance analysis, grounds staff, and turf management, thanks to our strategic alliances with Velocity, Elite Sportsturf, and other partners.
Oxfordshire FA has also launched our own Oxfordshire FA Rewards Programme, providing access to online shopping discounts and cashback from over 4,000 local and national retailers. This is available to everyone at our accredited clubs, with additional discounts available as a reward for best practice.
