Welcome to the Football Club Ladies Section

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS

Swanage Town & Herston would love to have Ladies and girls football teams but the major problem is the lack of volunteers within the Club at this time.

With three adults teams plus U18, U16, U13, U12, U11 and a new U9 team, our supply of team managers, assistants and coaches is not inexhaustible and at the moment we have no one available to manage and organise ladies/girls football.

The Club is in the process of completing a Football Foundation Development Plan over the next few months, (part of which is to develop opportunities for everyone to play football regardless of sex, religion, disability etc.) and will be meeting at the Football Club, Day’s Park every Thursday evening from 7.30pm to 9.00pm.

If anyone would like to find out more or would like to get involved please come along and introduce yourself.

The Club is happy to fund training courses for anyone interested in undertaking the FA Level One Certification in Coaching Football and getting involved in the Club in some capacity.

WOMENS FOOTBALL CLUB ORGANISER'S JOB DESCRIPTION

General.
It is the aspiration of Swanage Town and Herston Football Club to encourage women & girls to participate in playing association football competitively in the 2007/2008 football season.
In order to achieve this and to enter girls teams in the Dorset County Girls League we believe it’s essential that they have a dedicated Women’s and Girls’ Mini-Soccer and Youth Organiser to co-ordinate and perform the day to day administration duties to enable them to compete successfully.
She will operate in conjunction with the Football Club’s Mini-Soccer and Youth Teams Secretary who will continue to be the focal point for the purpose of all correspondence.

The position of Women’s and Girls’ Mini-Soccer and Youth Organiser will be of vital importance in the initial stages of developing, co-ordinating and organising girls’ football teams within the club. Her main responsibility will be for providing the vital communication link between the Club’s Mini-Soccer and Youth Teams Secretary and the individual Girls’ Team Managers and players.

In the early stages of development it is also essential that the incumbent endeavours to be pro-active in advertising and publicising the fact that the football club will be running WOMEN’S AND GIRLS’ FOOTBALL TEAMS next season.
