Meet The Team

PLAYER WELFARE 

Player Liaison

If you need a helping hand, the world gets on top of you or you need a bit of help, James is our bridge between Strong FC and organisations such as the NHS, Talking therapies, addiction and mental charities.... Struggling? Speak to Dewy

Club Ambassador

The Yorkshire Ringer, Mitch is our club ambassador, acting in the best interests of the players. If you have a problem with a session, a member of staff or another player, approach Mitch in complete confidence to discuss your problem.

 

SESSIONS

Sessions Leader

Liam, or "Unders" as he's better known is literally everyone's best mate. Unders is in charge of our session bookings, ensuring the right players and organisers go to the right games and makes sure everyone has a fun and safe football session. Got a question about sessions? Speak to Unders.

 

Session Organisers

As we do so many sessions every week, we need a team of lads who are trained to make your matchday experience as easy as possible. These guys work on a voluntary basis and will ensure your mental and physical well-being are of paramount priority when playing football at your Strong session, as well as reffing the game and picking the teams.... So without further ado, meet your session organisers - *Full Monty Music Starts Playing*

 

STRONG ELEVENS

11's Leader

As well as being our Liaison officer, James Dewhurst (from above) is also the leader of our 11's team.... Busy boy is our Dewy!

 

11's Manager

Although we all love sessions, there's nothing better than playing a full 11-a-side match, which we have once a month. Sometimes these games are internal's i.e. 2 x teams of 11 picked from session attendees, or, against other men's mental health team from all over the UK. The manager of this team? JT - Dude's a legend and does a wicked Rick Flair impression. Any questions about 11's, reach out to JT.
