Who are we?
We have created a new youth committee and structure to help support up to 500 children and teenagers into youth football. This is the creation of Pagham Football Club Youth Development.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We are creating a new football youth development programme that will see up to 500 youngsters and possibly 22 new teams into the community.
In 121 years, Pagham Football Club has never had a full youth programme - and it's time this changed. We aim to build a new community for our youngsters and parents at Pagham Football Club and we want you to be part of this journey.
How we’ll spend the money raised
Creating a new set-up isn't cheap and through various funding measures we hope we can raise the vast sums of money needed.
We need to fund new kits, tracksuits, bags, balls, equipment and 5 sets of new goals and corner flags!
Community impact
Creating up to 22 new teams will have a massive social and health benefit to both the players and the parents. The social skills the youngsters will learn alongside team work and confidence building plays a massive part in a person's well-being. As many of you know, as a parent a team can become a new 'family. And it's something we want to build together.
