The LCFA will be holding a number of recruitment periods throughout the Merseyside area to enable Young Leaders from around the County to become involved in the Programme. The aim of the LCFA Young Leadership programme is to support a number of Young Leaders aged 14-24years old as they look to gain invaluable experience and knowledge through volunteering their time to work in football. This can be achieved through volunteer placements at local FA Charter Standard Clubs, working at School Sports Partnership based events and supporting LCFA run events. The themes the Young Leaders can volunteer their time for include:
• Assisting in coaching and fun activities for young people
• Behind the scenes - Running the Football Club / School/ Organisation
• Marketing and Promotion
• Officiating – Running the Game
The LCFA are committed to provide any support and guidance necessary for the chosen Young Leaders to make the most of the volunteering experience and provide them with some valuable life skills that they take with them. The LCFA will also help each Young Leader to gain a number of football related qualifications. The local football community will also benefit by gaining the services of a willing and proactive volunteer.
For further information on how the programme will work for the 2010/2011 season please contact Anna Farrell on 0151 523 4488 Ext 112.
