Urgent advice needed - been asked to manage a team

Alex Combrink

I’ve been involved with and been coaching my daughter’s football u14 football team. However, the current manager is wanting to walk away after spending 8 years with the team - he’s done so much! I’ve asked to manage the team but it will just be myself, and no coach to assist me. We are going to be playing in the under 15s in the 25/26 season. Just seeking some guidance before taking the plunge. I really don’t want to see the team fold after achieving great things this season.

    Hi Alex, certainly an exciting opportunity! Your involvement will be crucial in inspiring our young girls to continue their growth within the game. From a safeguarding point of view, I definitely recommend recruiting an assistant to support you during training and match days. The FA guidance strongly encourages a minimum of two over 18s per team who meet the qualification requirements (Safeguarding, DBS, First Aid, Level 1). It is also an obligation for club accreditation. In the event of an injury, it is beneficial to have someone addressing the situation and another to monitor the other players. It is difficult to juggle both. For more information, please feel free to drop me a message, but your Club Welfare Officer will be able to provide more club/case specific guidance. Alternately, your County FA Safeguarding Manager can provide advice too. Best wishes!
