The Village United Sports Club is on a fund raising drive to finance its budget for the upcoming National Premier League Football Competition, starting August, 2002 to May, 2003.
The budget for the club is in excess of seven million dollars, ($7,000. 000), and our main projects that need sponsoring are as follows:
1. Completion of 1500 seated stands
2. Training and match equipment
3. Transportation
4. Funding for security
5. Field Maintenance Equipment e.g. Lawnmower, irrigation system, lighting
equipment
6. Nutrition Programme (Players)
7. Accommodation for players
8. Youth Development Programmes
We have enclosed a list of our sponsorship packages and encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to support the development of football and the wider community, while at the same time promoting your business.
Donations outside of the sponsorship package are always welcome.
We anticipate an early response and offer our appreciation for your support.
Yours truly,
Noel Miller (Mr)
Director of Marketing
SUMMARY
In order to develop the club to international standards, it is necessary to put in place the proper infrastructure. This will include administrators to handle the affairs of the club, coaches to guide the players in the necessary skills, theory and attitudes, proper field for playing matches and training the teams and a panel of sponsors who will oversee the total development of football in the club.
For such a programme to be successful, all the members of the club will have to develop a unified vision and put their energies together to make it a success. Village United has come a far way since 1968, and has grown to a level that should be maintained and surpassed, not retarded. It must be the intention of the Executive Board to make the right move in the direction of development.
When I look at the all time list of clubs in the world, all of them started at the same fundamental level as Village United. We need to develop the right vision of raising the standard of our club football to international standards. We now have the opportunity to go forward, hence, we should go co-operate and seize the initiative to do so.
In concluding, let me add that a strong youth programme must be initiated. This must be the basis on which the club will attract local and overseas investors to invest in the club. This youth programme must be so designed to help develop the players professionally in order to change the old guards by feeding the senior squad, the national teams and for international transfers.
