Hello,

My name is Tiana Hill, I am 15 years old. I have been given the fantastic opportunity to attend the 2016 Joeys Football Tour to Germany offered by The Joeys Football Club.

I play for the Claudelands Rovers Premier Reserves, Otumoetai, and Waibop FTC and Women's. In 2015, the Northern League Reserves also won our League and Knockout Cup and Waibop FTC won nationals.

In 2015 I attended a Football Tournament and I was offered a partial scholarship to attend the tour to Germany after being selected by the organizers. Normally this is offered to Australian players but I was selected with a small group to also receive a partial scholarship.

The Germany trip will take place from the 16th of June 2016 until the 16th of July 2016. This playing and coaching tour is a dream for any footballer and offers a chance of a lifetime as well as a chance for a possible playing future in Germany for me.

During the trip I will be coached by the best, and play games at a very high level of football. Coaches from Club SV Elversberg and FC Frankfurt will intensively coach me during the tour. I may be given the chance to set up a future playing opportunity in Germany which is really exciting! Saarbruecken, Cottbus and Frankfurt Oder are Elite Schools for Football and are Olympic Centres. The organizers have extremely good connections to these schools and also to some German professional football clubs like Regional Club and former 3rd Bundesliga Club SV Elversberg and FC Frankfurt. Some of the travelling players have been offered playing opportunities with these clubs on previous tours. A very important aspect of the tour is that former Socceroo coach Rale Rasic will be on tour to oversee the coaching and playing activities.

I respectfully ask you to consider contributing any sum you feel is appropriate to my fundraising page. I worked very hard getting funds together for my Australia trip and I am working hard to get the necessary funds together to attend the German Tour. This trip does cost considerably more than the Australian one and support from kind donors such as you will help realize my dream to attend this trip.

Thank you so much for considering a donation
