Our

Volunteers

Our volunteers are the unstoppable driving force that keeps our club moving forwards.

Every function within the JFC, from Executive Committee to Coach, Admin to Media, is carried out by an amazing volunteer.

The elected Executive Committee administer the day to day running of the Club, and make joint-accountability decisions in the best interests of the Club.

The Committee is assisted by a number of other people volunteering in non-executive support roles, and this is all underpinned by our network of approximately 160 team managers and coaches – the ‘boots on the ground’, without whom there would be no Club!

This huge team effort enables over 1000 children in and around Rugby to play football each week.

Why Do We

Volunteer?

We all volunteer for different reasons, and generally it begins with the desire to enable our own children, and others, to play the beautiful game of football.

Playing football increases physical activity, grows confidence, builds friendships and helps develop resilience. We know without a doubt that volunteering directly benefits the thousand plus children we enable to play.

BUT… Did you know that volunteering is good for you, too?

It carries a whole host of benefits from increased physical health and fitness to better mental health. You can learn new skills, make new social connections, form new friendships and a find a sense of belonging. Volunteering is also shown to lead to better self-esteem and increased confidence.

A social impact study carried out in conjunction with an FA pilot scheme revealed the positive impact that we have:

"I really enjoy playing football with Rugby because its a very strong community of people and the facilities are amazing. I love being a part of this club and playing for such an amazing team because I've been able to make the most amazing friendships."

"It teaches my son social skills, to interact with kids from different cultures and backgrounds. It teaches him about discipline and fitness and health. That means more to me than most things they teach at school."

"I really enjoy being a volunteer at the club, helping out the team and coaching the squad. It helps me focus on something fun and constructive, which benefits my health and wellbeing and gives a sense of giving back. I hope the girls enjoy me input too!"
