Meet the Team

Our Team

United Cornwall FC is proud to have a passionate team of Project Officers and Volunteers who make the whole project possible.

Each game has a session lead, who is supported to make sure the games go ahead in a safe and friendly manner, whilst also welcoming new players.

We also have a team of ambassadors, who promote our sessions to new communities.

Jack Greaves - Founder

I moved to Cornwall in 2014 and joined the local football team. This provided me with a community to be part of and something to do at the weekends. My incredibly average footballing career ended in 2016 due to injury, and for a long time I didn’t think I would play football again. Move on to 2020 and I started playing “Old Blokes Football”, which again gave me a community to be part of, and improved my mental and physical wellbeing. It was on reflection across the many covid lockdowns, and how much I missed my weekly kick about that the idea of UCFC was born.

It’s incredible what has been achieved by the UCFC team. From a personal level, I can now play social football every night of the week, and have made lots of new friends. It is more than a football team, it’s a community and one which I am proud to be part of.

Social football has pretty much always been a part of my adult life.
After a serious injury and a move to Cornwall post-COVID lockdowns, I thought my playing days were over.
I saw Jack's post one evening and thought it would be good for me to get to know a few people down here and try to rebuild my ankle and fitness. I was at the first UCFC session and I loved it. Like minded people getting together to have a laugh and a kick about.
After about 6 months of playing (and loving it!) I put my name down to help out as a session lead.
I'm certainly not the best player, but can't really imagine my week without a UCFC session now. It's such a welcoming and supportive group, and it's been fantastic for getting to know people in Cornwall.
Whether you're a seasoned pro or haven't kicked a ball in years, come along and give it a go – you'll be made to feel welcome!
