Behind every team is a group of volunteers who dedicate countless hours throughout the season to coaching, organising, supporting and helping our players enjoy football.

We are inviting players and parents/guardians to send a message of appreciation to coaches, volunteers and club officials who have made a difference this season.

Whether it's a short thank you message, a favourite memory or recognition of someone's hard work, we'd love to hear from you.

The messages will be shared with coaches and volunteers as a show of appreciation for all they do.

Not only do volunteers organise and facilitate football, many do other tasks ranging from admin (registering players, for example, or arranging games with other clubs) through to maintaining our grass pitches, and even overseeing the organisation of our end of season event. 

Just last weekend, once again, some club coaches spent their Saturdays on St Mary's Park repairing damage to our pitches left by Prestwich Carnival. Without selfless people like this, your kids wouldn't have football. 

So please give them a thank you.
