Who are we?
We are a husband and wife team from Louth with two boys who have a passion for football. We started a small business called Supastrikers in January 2023 after our 2 year old son was obsessed with playing football but there was nowhere he could go that was local to Louth. We initially had 30 toddlers joining us which has now grown to over 120. We started by hiring a village hall, we then expanded to a local sports centre and have always said the dream is to have our own 3G pitch so children can develop in the best environment. There is currently nowhere nearby our town that can offer an indoor 3G pitch, only hard sports courts which for toddlers, is not very practical! After 2 years in business we are taking the plunge to make our own pitch for the whole community to use.

Why are we crowdfunding?
We are crowdfunding to raise money for a brand new state of the art 3G football pitch based in Louth, Lincolnshire. This project is purpose built for the whole community from local junior football teams, to schools, girls groups, community groups and disability/SEN groups. Public will also be able to hire our venue for parties such as football, Nerf and Zorb football.
The facility will provide seating around the pitch, a WC, small kitchen area and a party/meeting room.
All Stars Arena is a not-for-profit business
Please see below for a few groups that we are hoping to see at our venue:
Supastrikers East Lindsey: A toddler football group for age 2-5s
Football holiday camps: Competitively priced indoor holiday camps for boys and girls during half terms and summer holidays.
Mental health groups: A dry, private space for those who want to feel safe in the environment where they can discuss all things to do with mental health.
Junior team hire: The great British unpredictable weather is usually the cause of youth teams training sessions being called off leading to weeks without sessions during the winter months. All Stars Arena will provide that space that will be available week in week out in all weather conditions
Girls football: We would love to encourage more girls to play football, whether that be in a team or just a casual meet with friends to play, we are the place to be!
Walking football: For those who still want to keep fit without the high impact. Also a time to make new friendships whatever stage of life they are at.
SEN/disability friendly groups: A fully accessible venue to create a fun and engaging environment and enjoy a range of sports.
Public hire & parties: A dry, warm space for public to hire for personal training, team events, birthday parties etc. With extra high ceilings, we can cater for all sorts of inflatables!

Community impact
We all know the importance of exercise for people of all ages. This facility is going to provide a safe, inclusive, practical, dry space for all abilities and a range of different activities. A space where friendships can be made, children can have fun, community groups can come together, adults can meet new people with the same interests and we can promote a healthy, positive lifestyle through sport.
