Oxford City FC is looking to expand its youth football programme by recruiting new coaches for its upcoming season. The club has put out a call for experienced individuals to lead teams in the Junior Premier League, which is the largest youth league in England with almost 2,500 teams competing weekly.
The club is specifically seeking coaches to take charge of the Under-9, Under-10, and Under-11 boys teams. Applicants for these positions are required to hold at least a UEFA C coaching badge. Those interested in these opportunities are encouraged to contact J. Stanley at Ignite Sport UK, which serves as the club’s official community partner managing operations from the Community Arena.
This recruitment drive follows a period of significant growth for the club. Currently, 472 players participate in the youth system, and the club expects this number to rise to over 600 as it adds nine new teams for the 2025/26 season. In addition to the boys’ squads, the club is also working to expand its female player pathway, with seven new girls-only JPL teams being added under the guidance of Head of Women’s Football Aliyah Anthony.
Beyond the league-specific roles, the club is also seeking volunteers to coach grassroots squads, including the Under-10 boys, Under-11 girls, and Under-12 girls teams. More information on these openings can be found through the club’s official announcement regarding the new season.
