Had a thought the other day (rare for me I know) let me know what you think.
We all know how little time we have between games at tournaments and how much there is to do to get ready etc. So.......How about contacting the local Junior football team, Scouts etc etc and asking if they would like to help out at a tournament in return for a donation to their club. I know my local club would be up for it, they are always doing car washes, packing bags at Safeway etc to raise money for new strips/equipment etc.
Teams could contribute say £10 per team and have someone asigned to them for the day who could:
1) Fill pots
2) Collect empty pots after the games
3) Watch over kit
4) Help tidy up
This would also get more people along to tournies and increase the local profile .
Anyway, just a thought.............................
