Who are we?
We are Washington United Under 10 Golds, a premier league youth football team with big hopes and dreams! Our team is made up of a determined, hardworking, and focused group of lads who push themselves to excel both on and off the pitch. We train twice a week with an unrelenting drive, and we play games every Saturday and Sunday, taking on the challenge of competing a year-up on Sundays to continually test ourselves and grow as a team.
Our efforts have paid off, winning the Fleetwood Spring Cup 3 years running competing against teams across the country and, most recently, victory in the Russell Foster Youth League Premier League 2024. These accomplishments are just the beginning—we're aiming for even greater success and are dedicated to improving our skills and teamwork.
But to keep chasing our dreams, we need your support!
Why are we crowdfunding?
We are seeking your support to purchase Veo Video Equipment, which will transform the way we train and compete. The Veo video equipment offers everything we need in one powerful camera, automatically following the action on the field to create a broadcast-like experience.
With this equipment, we can live-stream games, watch recordings immediately, and bookmark crucial moments for later review. This technology will provide our players with engaging learning experiences that help them grow. Veo identifies each player and generates unique highlight reels, perfect for sharing or adding to their Player Profiles.
Additionally, Veo Analytics offers a comprehensive overview of our team’s performance, acting like a team of analysts—only automated. With its software for football analysis and detailed video breakdowns, we can maximize our team’s potential and ensure our players have the best opportunities to improve. Your contribution will make a significant difference in our journey toward excellence!
How we’ll spend the money raised
We plan on purchasing the following equipment with the donations received;
Veo Cam 3
Tripod
1-year Team Subscription
Community impact
Investing in Veo Video Equipment will have a profound impact on our community. By enhancing our training and game analysis, we’re not just developing better players; we’re fostering a love for the sport that can inspire young athletes across the area.
The ability to live-stream games will allow families and friends who can't attend to support our players, creating a stronger sense of community. Highlight reels and performance analytics can be shared with local schools and clubs, promoting collaboration and skill development beyond our team.
Moreover, as our players grow, they become role models for younger athletes, encouraging participation in sports and healthy activities. The improved training resources will also help us develop our training sessions as well as other grass root teams within the club, providing valuable learning experiences for kids in our community.
Ultimately, your support will help us build not just a better team, but a more vibrant, engaged, and active community centred around sports and teamwork.
