About this opportunity

The Pars Foundation run lots of community football sessions in the Dunfermline area. Their sessions are for all ages – starting from 18 months and running all through children, young people and adults. They also run lower impact sessions such as walking football.

They are looking for volunteers to help with their community football sessions, whether assisting with coaching and activities within sessions, or helping with set up and supporting and engaging with the participants. No coaching experience is required, as volunteers will have the opportunity to shadow existing coaches and will have ongoing support.

If you are interested in football, or if you want to help local people stay active, get in touch with the Pars Foundation now.
