Based in Stokesley in North Yorkshire and bordering Teesside, North Riding FA aims to develop and administer football to the highest standards across the county. The company is led by our Chief Executive who oversees a staff of 10 employees who work across both the Football Development and Football Operations Teams. We aim to widen participation in football through our support for leagues, clubs and volunteers. The Football Operations Team is responsible for overseeing the administration of the traditional affiliated game, managing the sanctioning and affiliation processes as well as running a number of county cup competitions for youth and adult teams. We also have a huge responsibility to safeguard young people who play the game. The Football Development Team work with leagues, clubs, education establishments and other organisations to increase the opportunities for people to play football. Supporting the development of new facilities as well as training coaches and referees is also a significant and important part of the work that we do.
