Hi, my name is Bobby Bridges, I’m 18 years old from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire (England), and I currently play Quarterback, Kicker and Punter for the NFL Academy in Loughborough.

I’ve been given an incredible opportunity through United kicking and my coach Brad Charalambous— I’ve earned a place to attend the Chris Sailer Kicking Camp in the United States, where many of the top-ranked college and professional kickers and punters have trained. This isn’t just a camp — it’s a chance to be officially ranked amongst some of the best specialists in the world, and a real opportunity to earn a college scholarship in America.

However, although I’ve secured my place, I now need help to fund the travel and accommodation costs to make it possible.

I’m aiming to raise £3,000, which will go directly towards:

Flights to the USA

Accommodation during the camp

Basic travel costs and meals while I’m there

I work hard every day at NFL Academy to develop my skills and prove myself, not just as an athlete, but as someone who is determined to make the most out of every opportunity. This camp could truly help open the door to playing football at a college level in the US, something I’ve been working towards for years.

Any support — whether it’s donating or sharing this page — would mean the world to me. Thank you for reading, believing, and helping me chase this dream.

Thank you so much,

Bobby
