Reasons to Volunteer
Football in Oxfordshire wouldn't exist without the thousands of volunteers who give up their time each and every week to support the grassroots game.
A football club or league is about more than just the players on the pitch. Here's just some of the benefits from becoming a football volunteer:
- Gaining experience in a certain area
- Personal development
- Chance to network
- Giving back to your local community
- Gaining a qualification, and much much more
For volunteers for all

What support is there for new volunteers?
If you’re new to volunteering, many other people within your club or league will be on hand to support you and help you out. Additionally, if you need further support, Oxfordshire FA are on hand to help.
How much time do I need to commit?
Some roles can be carried out with as little as an hour a week, so there’s definitely a role out there for you!
Do I need any qualifications to volunteer?
The only roles where there is a requirement for qualifications are where there is constant contact with youth players (Under 18 and below), such as coach, manager, physio and welfare officer.
Where can I find out more about a certain role?
Have a look at our role descriptions page.
What is the minimum age I can volunteer?
Volunteers can be as young as 12 when young leaders can complete the Junior Football Leaders course.
