A Soccer Tournament In A Developed Country Is A Study in Bounty and Wealth

How many T-shirts were left from your last tournament? What about medals? Jackets? Trophies?  Coaches shirts?  Ribbons?  Uniforms?

Chances are all these things are stored with the club that sponsored the tournament. Sometimes you find medals and shirts that have been stored for up to ten years.  They are helping no one, just gathering dust and taking up space.

The Honduras Youth Soccer Project Offers You The Opportunity To Fill The Cup of Soccer Youth in The Mountains of Intibuca, Honduras With Your Tournament Leftovers. 

The West Valley Club has been wonderful in sharing medals, ribbons, shirts, coaches shirts and t shirts from tournaments of the past.  They have shared uniforms and other items as well. Take a look at kids in Honduras happily using these items. CLICK HERE for pictures of the use of tournament items by the Honduras Youth Soccer Project.  Your tournament leftovers could be in this picture.

Here Are Some Ideas For Sharing Through Your Tournament

1.  Participate in Project Athletic Shoe For Youth Empowerment.

 Ask all the parents and adults who attend the tournament to clean out their old athletic shoes, basketball shoes and running shoes and bring them to the tournament. Ask them to donate ten dollars for shipping to Honduras. You as tournament serve as coordinator and collect the athletic shoes.  The cost of shipping 500 pairs of shoes to Honduras is around $250.  All you need is a contribution of 25 people to pay for the shipping.   Go to the page Project Athletic Shoes For Youth Empowerment for details on the project.

2.  Collect Unused Tournament Materials and Ship Them To Honduras

Everything you didn't use in your tournament can be used by the Honduras Youth Soccer Project.  We need uniforms, t shirts, shorts, socks, nets, balls, medals, trophies, warm-ups, jackets, sports bags, water bottles, nets, portable goals, soccer cleats.  It doesn't matter what it is if you took it to the tournament and you still have it, we can use it. 

3.  Donate 1% of the Receipts of Your Tournament To Soccer For Life

4. Sponsor A Donation Concurso

Many community want to hold concursos.  These concursos draw the people together.  Here's one concurso where hundreds of children and adults came together.  The children to compete, the adults to watch.  The concurso is like a field day in the USA.  The soccer gear you donate, the funds you send for shipping enable these communities to come together for a day of clean fun and soccer. Here the mayor of San Miguelito welcomes Soccer for Life to a large concurso held in this mountain community.  Not only did we enjoy the races, we also helped out with a little coaching for goalies, which is sorely lacking here.  As a result, we are offered many opportunities to teach character.

5.  Promote The Soccer For Life Program In Your Community

There are members in your club or group that have soccer and sports gear in their closets, garages and basements. They don't know about our work in Honduras and how it is helping the poor children of Intibuca get what they need to play.  You are the key to sharing the Soccer For Life Mission with them.  Help us collect soccer gear and promote the Honduras Youth Soccer Project. You can stop the waste of used soccer gear in your community.  You can stimulate companies and groups to donate.  Help us Share The Soccer Gear Donation Project

Setting Up the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center

Soccer For Life is planning to set up the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center for our teams we will be developing. Because of the fact that many of our Youth-At-Risk have not yet learned the social manners of those in mainstream youth leagues and soccer clubside, we feel that these youths should play among themselves until they gain better social skills.

We will be teaching soccer skills, social skills and character skills such as teamwork, dealing with anger and self control.
