Kilwinning Rangers 2014 are a community youth football team, who pride themselves on working hard to give children born in 2014 the opportunity to participate in football and be part of a team. We have grew our team to 30 players and have 3 teams playing 7 a side currently. All coaches are volunteers who give up their time each week for two training sessions and games on a Sunday. Our goal is for all players to have new experiences and opportunities to help them grow but we are faced with financial challenges for the families and also the team to be able to provide everything we wish to help them progress
Description
Kilwinning Rangers 2014 are applying for funding of £1000 to help the team reach their target of buying new balls, cones and bibs, first aid kits, training pack for each player and to play in a youth festival in a different area.
A successful application would support the team to reach these goals and help the coaches improve the experience and level of training that is taking place currently. The funding would also support the families by lightening the financial burden and allowing all players to have their own training packs so everyone is wearing the same and feel part of the team.
The £1000 funding would be used to help the team secure the following:
New balls/training equipment so there are enough balls for each player when doing drills in training and different equipment to aid in different training exercises and warm up drills - £10 per ball x 30 = £300 - Cones and bibs - £40 total £340
First aid kit for each team – 3 x £26 = £78 total
Trip to football festival - We would love to give our players the opportunity to experience playing in different football festivals all over the country but due to funding this can be difficult as we have 30 players which make up 3 team playing 7 a side currently. Estimated cost: 3 teams entered into festival £100 per team per festival = £300 total for one festival.
Training packs ( shorts, top, socks, ½ zip, rain jacket) for each player so everyone has the same kit to wear on Mondays and Thursday for training and means that the football kits would only be worn on match days. All players would also be ready for all weather playing. Estimated cost £61 per player x 30 = £1830
We would be looking for the additional funds to meet our goals to be provided by the parents/guardians, hence how important this fund could be to the team and families during this cost of living crisis to ensure that all players have the same kit and nobody is left behind.
