CP2015 launch tournament volunteer programme: TEAM7

With less than 180 days to go before the first game of the Cerebral Palsy Football World Championship kicks off on Tuesday 16 June at St George’s Park, the Local Organising Committee (LOC) have launched the tournament volunteer programme – TEAM7.

LOC Chairman, Colin Chaytors commented:

“Sport happens because of volunteers and the Cerebral Palsy Football World Championships will be no different. We chose TEAM7, as Cerebral Palsy Football is a 7-a-side form of the game that is fast, dynamic and exciting, just like the members of TEAM7 will be!”

Tournament Director, Jeff Davis commented:

“I witnessed first-hand through the work of the London 2012 Games Makers, the great enthusiasm for volunteering that exists in this country. We want to tap into this to ensure that TEAM7 will be the face of the tournament. They will turn what will be a good tournament, into a great tournament."

CP2015 are looking to recruit in excess of 100 enthusiastic, passionate people aged 18 or above to the TEAM7 Volunteer Programme. There will be roles to suit everybody, with positions to welcome spectators to St George’s Park as a steward, work behind the scenes in the tournament office, transporting players, staff and VIPs as a driver, oversee the training pitches. Through to accompanying the teams as a liaison officer or writing match reports with the media team and helping the ground staff to prepare top quality match pitches.
