Dear CSS Parents and Family Friends,
We are the parent sponsors for the 26 high school students from our Columbia Secondary School, who joined the New York Futsal League this Winter 2023-2024. Our goal is for the CSS Soccer Players and any interested students to have the opportunity to practice a soccer related sport, remain active and social in a safe environment during the cold months.
Thank you for very much for reviewing our plea.
A minimal donation of $20.00 by 02/29 by enough friends should help us reach our goal.
Our Story:
FUTSAL is a soccer-based game played on smaller courts, like a basketball court and mainly indoors, which is great as a healthy winter activity. FUTSAL is a sport that has helped the CSS Soccer Team continue developing their skills, reduce the training gap and provide a space for team bonding!!! New York Futsal, has formed a high school league with games scheduled on Friday evenings at the Tito Puente Junior High School 117 in East Harlem. Last year's participation was a key factor in CSS's Soccer Team's success during the Fall Season 2023 reaching the semi-finals!
Participation by our CSS high school students at New York Futsal was introduced several years ago by our former Dean and Sports Director Collette Young. Grants were obtained during her directing and the cost of participating was minimal. For the last two years the registration cost has increased. Grants were not obtained and Fees have been covered by the students, fund raising, and support requested through gofundme.
The Fee for each team to participate is: $1,600.00 x 3 teams = $4,800.00.
- 50% Fee at $2,400.00 was covered by students.
- 50% Fee remaining is being sought through fund raising and gofundme.
Funds will be paid to: World Soccer Organization.
