Who are we?
Welcome to the official crowdfunding page for the Great Britain Youth Flag Football teams, proudly organised by the British American Football Association (BAFA).
Why are we crowdfunding?
We are thrilled to present three talented teams, the U17 Girls, U17 Boys, and U15 Mixed, who have been selected to represent Great Britain at the prestigious IFAF European Youth Flag Championships in Grosseto, Italy, scheduled from August 31st to September 4th, 2023.
Flag Football is an emerging sport in our country, and as it is still in its early stages, it currently relies on self-funding by the athletes and their families. We strongly believe that these young players should not face financial barriers in their pursuit of representing the nation and competing at the international level. Therefore, we are seeking your support to provide these gifted athletes with the necessary resources and opportunities they deserve.
How will we spend the money raised?
Your generous contributions will be directed towards travel expenses, accommodation, tournament fees, and equipment, ensuring that all three teams can focus on the competition and proudly carry the Great Britain flag while challenging the finest teams from across Europe.
Together, let's create a positive impact on the development of Flag Football in our nation and foster the immense pride these athletes feel while representing Great Britain. Join us in this endeavor and be a part of shaping a promising future for our youth in the world of sports!
