Adopt A Team
The Adopt A Team Program is designed to provide
opportunities for service for youth groups, soccer clubs, soccer associations,
soccer teams and others to share with kids in Honduras who would love to play
soccer but do not have the resources.
We are seeking to find soccer teams in the USA to
adopt soccer teams in Intibuca.
North American soccer youth, soccer clubs and soccer teams.
You are invited to create a long term relationship with a team in the Liga de
Las Comunidades Intibucanas. The Liga de Las Comunidades Intibucanas is located
in the cool high mountain pine forest of Intibuca. The players are in clean, high mountain villages free from
gangs and filled with kids whose only passion is soccer. They play it in the
streets. They play it on the fields. And they want to play it with you.
You are invited to "Adopt ATeam".
What does it mean? That means you become part of a cross-country Soccer
Community. It means your team will come to Intibuca and play in the annual Youth
Leadership Tournament in Intibuca. It means your team will share its old soccer gear,
nets, balls with your team in the Liga de Las Comunidades Intibucanas. That means you create long term
friendships with the players on your team. It means you learn enough Spanish to
communicate with your team. It means you write letters to your team members.
(The Liga de Las Comunidades Intibucanas will translate the letter for you). It means you exchange
photographs with your adopted team.
It means you hold a cleat drive in your community at least
once a year to collected used soccer gear for your team. It means you get a t
shirt with the name and logo of your team to take home. It means you stay in the
home of your team members when you come to Honduras. It means you bring at least
one gift for a member of your team when you come. It means you email your team
members. It means you learn something about the culture of the Lenca Indians of
Intibuca. It means you learn how to interact with someone of another culture.
It means you hold a fund raiser, a car wash to raise money
for your team to provide water for your team during its games. It means raising
money for snacks during the game. It means raising money to buy them a goal net,
practice pinnies and cones.
Below are two boys team who need to be adopted so
they can get the resources they need to play. Each child needs $5 per player to
get the carnet from FENAFUTH so they can play as well as uniform, cleats, shin
guards, socks and at least one good ball.

Soccer In This Pine and Corn Village? Please Adopt This Mountain Team
So They Can Play Soccer. |
Soccer For Life Donated The Blue Uniforms But We
Did Not Have Enough For The Other Team. Will You Adopt This Team And
Get Them Uniforms? |
Presently there are thousands of children in the 400
communities in the State of Intibuca that want to play soccer. The per capita income in Honduras is around $600 per year. There is no
way the average person in Honduras can afford to buy soccer uniforms, boots,
shin guards, socks. There is presently no way to provide water for games. There
are no soccer moms bringing treats after each game.
The Adopt a soccer team program can be developed at
two levels:
A. Level One - SHARING PROGRAM
Teams adopt the team in Intibuca by sharing last year
equipment and supplies
 | donating last year's years uniform |
 | shin guards |
 | old nets |
 | socks |
 | balls |
B. Level Two - SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
Team adopt the team in Intibuca by providing Soccer
for Life the money to buy:
 | new uniforms |
 | boots |
 | shin guards |
 | socks,
|
 | new balls |
 | nets |
 | cones |
In this program, the uniforms will be printed with
your teams name on the back saying
Donated by ______Soccer Club. To participate in this
program, your club or group may need to hold a fundraiser.
In both programs, you will receive a certificate of
appreciation signed by each of the members of the teams that receives your
uniforms.
Adopt a player
Some of the families of the players are involved with
the Liga de Las Comunidades Intibucanas come to practice and to games. But many of the boys
enrolled in the program have no parent involvement. The
Liga de Las Comunidades Intibucanas does not have
the resources to provide shin guards, cleats, uniforms and other need. You can
outfit a young players in the Liga by a donation of US$100. We will purchase
used soccer cleats so the cost stays low. The player will prepare and send a
letter of appreciation as well as a photo of your player wearing the gear you
have sponsored.
