The FA Walking Football Advisory Group Roles - Open Nominations

Flo Lunn

Established in 2022 and reporting into the Football Development Committee, the group has recently aligned it’s structure to wider FA Governance and therefore is looking to recruit  Grassroots Representative(s) for new roles and terms.

The Advisory Group was set up with the following objectives:

  • To provide relevant experience and expertise ensuring appropriate governance of Walking Football and that The FA’s support for the game is aligned to where it is needed most.
  • To support in filling knowledge gaps in order to ensure a well informed and well-rounded approach to The FA’s work in this space.
  • To act as a sounding board for proposed interventions delivered by The FA executive.

Nominations are open for the following roles:

Grassroots Representatives (x3) – Focused upon individuals involved in the grassroots delivery of the game. We are looking for individuals who can bring experience and expertise particularly within coaching or sessional delivery, competitions facilitators or organisers and those with a passion for supporting and developing female Walking Football. We are ideally looking for individuals who can bring their own thoughts but are also well connected within the game and can therefore additionally represent the wider views of their peers. Nominations can come from the individuals themselves but supporting statements from a County FA Lead and/or membership on a local TeamWalk will be viewed favourably.

Membership will be reviewed every two years, and a member is permitted to undertake a maximum of three term limits.

The group is scheduled to meet six times a year with the first in-person meeting scheduled for 8th July, 10.00-3.00pm at St George’s Park. Travel expenses are paid for any face-to-face meetings. 

The nomination form can be found here. Please share across your network and with any individuals that you think might be interested.

If you have any questions in relation to this process, please contact Flo.Lunn@TheFA.com. Deadline for nominations is COP on Monday 8th June with notifications by Friday 19th June.
