Hi, we coach FC Hartlepool u12 Yellows and we are trying to help raise funds to cover costs of the lads going on a Spanish football tour.

We’ve coached this team since 8 year old and seen them grow so much, from dismal early day defeats, leading up to watching them win their first league title and 2 tournaments, and we want to see them develop even more and that starts with a football orientated development coaching tour in Salou, Spain.

The team started as 18 young lads wanting to play football and over the years have lost and gained friends but the overall team spirit has never left and now we feel the time is right to give them that ultimate challenge of being coached by La Liga coaches (from Espanyol) and playing and putting their new found skills and training into practise.

The lads really came together over the last year as a team as they starting putting together their individual skillsets and putting them together with other players, making them quite hard to beat last year.

How you can help us.

We are raising money to cover the costs of the hotel and training package that comes with the tour, and also some kit we’ll need while over there to make this as successful as possible.

Your support and donations, no matter how big or small, give these young footballers the chance at an opportunity of a lifetime of playing abroad, to gain not only more football skills, but life skills aswell.

If you can’t donate, even sharing this page will help us as spreading the word of our fundraising is just as valuable.

We’ve seen first hand that the community spirit within the club and indeed from outside the club can do and together, we believe we can show how much the local community believes in grassroots football, not just our team.

So please take a moment to donate or share our story as your actions can provide these young lads with an amazing chance of continuing and developing their skills and abilities.

Thanks.
