  • You are not alone!

    There are many people who can assist you in the practicalities of your role.

    At the adult club that I am club secretary for example, we have a new welfare officer who is struggling to get to grips with the process and systems, so I asked the question of an experienced youth club welfare officer and he is now mentoring and supporting our new adult club welfare officer.

    At league level, there are many challenges, none more so than the discipline issues we all have to deal with from time to time, the registration of players, the accreditation of coaches, the referee lists and the fixtures management to name just a few

    But I can assure you that whatever challenge you have, someone already has experienced it, so please reach out and ask for help or advice if you need it

    Far too many volunteers leave their role because of burnt out or a feeling that they cant do the role.

    We would retain far more if we just helped each other, so always be there for others and seek support when required
