Applications Open To Join Youth Leadership Team

Join the Oxfordshire FA Youth Leadership Team for the 2019/20 season.

The Oxfordshire FA are welcoming applications from young leaders, volunteers and players across the county to join the Oxfordshire FA Youth Leadership Team for the 2019/20 season. 

Offering a voice to children and young people in the county, the Youth Leadership Team aims to improve football through offering opinions and advice, running events and developing new programmes to help shape football within the county. 

The OFA are looking for 14-24 year olds who would like to be involved in this team and have a passion to help shape how football is run and within Oxfordshire. 

This season the YLT have developed a number of projects, including a highly successful Volunteer Appreciation Programme which allows clubs and leagues to put forward nominations for a monthly award for our most dedicated volunteers. The group will also be running a Youth Leadership Day which will entail a number of workshops for young people within the county to be introduced to different aspects of the game.  

Example projects for the new season could include:

  • Youth Engagement projects

  • Supporting with festivals and events
  • And more!

The benefits of being part of the team includes:
