Forres Area soccer 7s is looking for new people to join its board.
After a period of restructuring some exciting positions have become available and the club is now in a position to move forward and carry out some ‘recruitment’.
About the Club
Forres Area Soccer 7s is a large children’s football club which welcomes players of all abilities. Last season we had over 200 children playing football across three age groups. This year, we have expanded this age range and have created a new Senior 7s category too, meaning we now cater for young people up to the age of 16.
We are in the fortunate position that the club is financially sound and clearly it is our responsibility to ensure we stay this way.
We are a registered charity in Scotland and this brings various benefits to the club however we are also subject to the formal scrutiny that having a charitable status brings.
A challenge
The work involved in running a club of this size can be challenging and was proving difficult for the numbers we had sitting on the club board. Therefore, we have recently changed our constitution and this has allowed us to increase the size of the board at FASS. This has been carried out in the main, for a couple of important reasons:
To reduce workloads for existing board members
To bring in new enthusiastic people with ‘fresh’ ideas that will ultimately benefit the children/players at FASS.
To broaden our skills/experience base again improving the service we provide to our customers.
Roles available:
Customer Adviser
Match Day Secretary
Events and Tournament Co-ordinator
Press & Social Media Advisor
Sponsorship & Marketing Co-ordinator
Welfare Advsier
If you are keen to get involved email Nick Evans, the Club Secretary at nick@forres-soccer7s.co.uk by January 9 stating which roles are of interest. You will then be invited for a formal chat with some of the existing board members. We aim to have the new board positions in place for the Skills and Selection day on February 4.
