Help Tane with his determined goal to become a professional football player

Hi, my name is Tane, and I am currently 10 years old. I started to play football when I was 3yo and fell in love with the game since then. When I was 6yo I told my mum and dad that I want to be a professional football player and they are helping me to reach my GOAL. Playing football makes me happy, always with a smile on my face when I have the ball. I play in a team two grades above my age in Palmerston North and attend a Football and Futsal Academy.

I know I must work hard in training to improve every day. My coach Juliano Schmeling (Marist Football Director) has seen my efforts and attitude and organised a tour in May 2023 for four weeks to play football and futsal in Barcelona where I can learn from high-quality coaches and players. The opportunity to travel to Spain to have this football experience is my first big step to accomplishing my GOAL!

I am raising funds for the trip to help my parents with its costs.

I thank you for taking the time to read this and any donations that will help to raise money to go to Barcelona next year would be greatly appreciated.
