Volunteer Coach Who Needs Just A Little Help

Hi there Everyone,

I am a passionate athletics coach who is loving giving back to the sport that gave me so much. I coach 10 children aged between 14-18 Years Old. These kids are super talented and I love just getting out there and helping them be the best they can be.

Unfortunately getting to big meets around the country falls on me, so I have to pay my own airfares, accommodation and transport at the venues. In the Summer, Nationals, NZSS, Inter-Provincials and North Island Sec Schools can cost a small fortune. This is to the detriment of my families bank account. I always feel guilty for using our possible "holiday money" to support my athletes.

I could choose to not attend these events, but my athletes are very successful and after coaching them for up to 10 hours a week plus catering for individual weekly training programme plans, I really do not want to miss out on their successes.

Please help me get to these events in the Summer guilt-free without stressing about finances.

I am forever grateful for any help.
