How to Get Involved

Coaching
With the club's accelerated growth over recent seasons and further expansion plans in place, there has never been a more exciting time to be part of Whitstable Town Football Club.

With this in mind, we are recruiting coaches or managers to help with long-term player development. No previous coaching or management experience is needed, just the ability to create the best possible environment to enable all players to thrive. The club will fund your training, and our team of coaching mentors will provide full support. This is the most rewarding of all roles and an excellent opportunity to be part of something special. If you would like any further information, please get in touch with one of our Youth Football Development Officers by email. football@whitstabletownfc.club

Team Administration
You could run the team administration if you are good with communications and embrace technology. Confirm the matches with the opposition and referee, and report the results of games back to the league. Tech makes it easy - the Pitchero App, email, WhatsApp, and Facebook groups allow you to run everything from your smartphone.

Steward
On match days, the Steward helps the club ensure that the Respect Programme is followed for all participants' benefit. Use your knowledge of your fellow spectators to help prevent abuse, foul language, or other unacceptable behaviour. Welcome the opposition manager and referee and promote a friendly atmosphere.

Referees
More and more people of all ages, genders, races and abilities are getting into refereeing. No previous football experience is needed. The club will fund your training and are here to support your development.

Referee Assistant
The offside rule was introduced from 9v9 football when referee assistants were required to run the line. Training is available for parents, and the best practice is to have more than one parent qualified to ensure there is always someone available at matches.

Key Personnel
If you would like to volunteer to help run our club, tell us some skills you can use. We will find a suitable role for you to help the club. If sometimes we don't follow up as quickly as we should, please don't take that as a rejection! We value your contribution.

If you would like to volunteer for any of the positions above or require further information please get in touch with our club secretary, Fran secretary@whitstabletownfc.club
