Volunteer led football

Families can strengthen the club by volunteering time, skills or support when opportunities arise.

The Killina Road ground is outside the village, so allow extra time for the journey and confirm the correct entrance. Bring boots, shin guards, water and weather layers, and ask about parking and changing facilities.
Share access or medical needs with the coach before the first session.
