Volunteer Opportunities

SECONDARY DUTIES IN FOOTBALL FOR RAF PERSONNEL

One of the unique aspects of military football is the large turnover of volunteers at Clubs (Units) due to postings. Therefore opportunities are always available with Unit teams, Leagues and other football related committees.

Units, Leagues and committees that wish to advertise here should contact the RAF FA HQ.
