Hi! I’m Mikey and I’m 8 years old. I have been playing soccer for 5 years. My mum noticed I had a great talent for playing so she joined me up to one of our local clubs last year. I wasn’t super confident playing at first but slowly warmed up to being part of a team, my team mates are really cool guys and we are growing together as a team. My coach told me I have a real knack at being goalie, he says I have real potential at making it a full time position in the future, but for now I love playing all possible positions and love playing with my team. Some of my team mates are also members of another local club that get the opportunity to travel near and far for competitions and events and are given opportunities our current club does not offer. I have expressed to my mum I would really love to join the other club (but also stay in my current club) so I can improve my skills and get more opportunities at playing with other teams that have more experience and I can have the option to learn more skills and improve myself as a player and team mate. The club I really want to join has costs (as does any) that mum is trying hard to make to get me in but when and if I do more costs will come along with that, annual fees, uniform fees, travel expenses also and she does worry she won’t be able to keep up, we have found this amazing platform we have the opportunity to raise funds to help achieve my passion and goals, I wish to pursue soccer as a career and I know I can, I have the potential too and the willingness to learn. If you have the opportunity to donate and help me towards my first goal of joint a new exciting club and learn from more experienced players and coaches, I would be so thankful. Thankyou so much for taking your time to hear me out.
