Description
S1-S6 young people have the opportunity to compete against mainland football teams (in North Ayrshire and beyond). An important opportunity for island youngsters to play access competitive competition off the island. Boys and girls teams from the Isle of Arran will travel to the mainland to compete in various competitive tournaments and friendlies. Young people from Arran rarely get the opportunity to play competitive sport, due to the lack of teams on the Isle of Arran, as well as the challenges of travel. We’d be delighted offer this again to our young people of Arran, impacting over 60 players.
To be able to do this, we’d need financial support for the following –
Transport costs
boat £4.60 per person (16 in a team) total = £73.60
bus average £150 per trip
4 trips per year (1 for each team)
Equipment (bibs/balls/cones/kit) - £100
Location: We aim to provide as many young people on the Isle of Arran the opportunity to experience playing in a competitive environment, something that many young people rarely have the chance to do. We believe it is important for our young people to access the same opportunities as other young people throughout North Ayrshire, so believe this project is vital.
