Ladies sponsorship.
Posted: 31 Jul 2014, 13:07
Guys, a bit of a plea, this one.
There are some of our ladies who need sponsorship to enable them to keep playing. One in particular is an extraordinary young lady called Jazz. She's 18, and her CV thus far is entirely beyond belief. She is, inter alia, the manager of a local men's side. She's going for the UEFA 'A' license this year. Those who understand these things will appreciate that she was awarded an unconditional offer to study at university. Her achievements go on and on and this post really doesn't do her justice. I'm really not joking, there's no doubt at all that she will one day, if she so chooses, be the England Women's manager. She lives for football. Unfortunately, what money she has is spent traveling to courses (often at St George's Park) and on essential kit. Accordingly, she can't quite afford to register to play for our team this year.
As you'd expect, this is a blow for both sides. Jazz because she misses out on playing (for the stupidest of reasons) and TULFC because we're losing a hugely talented winger.
Sponsorship is available for almost all the TULFC players (Ben Currie and The Candy Box, Brixham, well tell you it's worthwhile, since he sponsors another of our girls).
As it stands, there is training, tonight, with Kev Nicholson, that Jazz can't do because she isn't registered. If a few of us here could chip in a few quid each (there are loads of benefits to the sponsorship, endless advertising from several sources is just one) to help Jazz and others keep playing the game that unites us all, it would be a really, genuinely good thing. A full season is £300. There's no limit to the number of people who can each sponsor one player, so if ten of us get together, it's £30 each.
Matt.
