Zaks afl international footy trip Ireland 2021

My name is Zak Sartore. I am 14 years old, I live in Oaklands, and attend Corowa High School. I am the captain of the Billabong Crows Under 14 football team, as well as being a Hume League, Riverina PSSA schools and NSW AFL state representative.

I have been lucky enough to be selected to be part of a Junior AFL International Rules tour in 2020, of Ireland, the United Kingdom and Europe. This unique opportunity will give me the chance to play against high level schools and representative teams. I will receive high level coaching and see the world at the same time, with like-minded players from all across Australia. The tour will consist of input from a number of elite coaches that are involved with the AFL Talent and Development program, as well as former AFL players.

I am really excited and privileged to be selected to be involved in such an amazing tour. I believe this tour will help develop my football skills as well as enhance my prospects of taking my football to the next level. It would also be a great opportunity for my own personal development also. To be part of a tour with young people from all over Australia will help me grow as a young man.

Obviously an incredible opportunity like this comes at a cost. The approximate cost is $6500. I write this letter to seek some support to help fund this amazing opportunity. Any support that you could give me, be that big or small, would be much appreciated, and would go towards airfares, match day transfers, accommodation, meals, uniforms, entry fees and insurance.

I look forward to be able to bring back and share all my knowledge, skills and experiences I learn along the way with my own community.

Please help us to make my dreams come true and achieve this once in a lifetime opportunity. 

Thanks in advance...
