Whether you want to play, coach, sponsor, volunteer your skills or help shape the future of the club — there is a place for you at Wideopen FC.
We have teams across the full boys and girls pathway from age 3 through to adult. All current vacancies and open trials are advertised on our Facebook page — the best place to find out which teams have spaces right now.

We are always looking for enthusiastic people to join our coaching teams. No experience is necessary — we support all volunteers through FA coaching qualifications and safeguarding training.
Whether you want to lead a team, assist on the touchline or help behind the scenes on matchdays, your time makes a real difference to hundreds of young players every week.
Kit sponsorship puts your brand on the back of every shirt, in front of hundreds of families every weekend. Packages start from under £200 and cover everything from 3v3 mini teams right through to full 11v11 squads.
Your logo appears on our website, and we handle everything — kit ordering, printing and delivery. It's one of the most visible and affordable ways to support grassroots sport in your community.
We maintain Lockey Park ourselves — a clubhouse, floodlit pitches, a 4G surface and car park. As a volunteer-run non-profit, skilled tradespeople and professionals who can offer their time, materials or a discounted rate make an enormous difference.
Every contribution is recognised and directly benefits over 600 children and their families every week.
We are building something significant — a modern community sports hub serving thousands of families across NE13. To get there we need people with skills beyond football: committee members, grant writers, ESG and CSR professionals, and corporate partners who want to align with a genuine community impact story.
We have a phased £1m+ facilities programme underway including a new full-size 4G pitch at Seaton Burn, in active discussions with the Football Foundation. If you can help us get there — through funding expertise, governance, or corporate investment — we want to hear from you.
Drop us an email and we'll point you in the right direction. We're a friendly, volunteer-run club and we'd love to hear from you.
