I have been offered the opportunity to play American Football at a college in the United States but I am needing help to get there!
Canterbury
My name is Will Bartels and I am a 19 year old American Football player from Christchurch.
My ultimate goal is to receive a full scholarship to a Division 1 College in the United States. I've been offered the opportunity to compete at a Junior College in Minnesota, U.S.A. My aim would be to perform well enough at the Junior College to earn a full scholarship to a Division 1 College so that i could compete at the highest level of American Football in college. The Junior College conference i would be competing in unfortunately does not offer athletic scholarships so I am needing to fund this myself. The college i have been accepted to is called Northland Community and Technical College.
Last year i had taken huge steps towards my dream. I had made the New Zealand Under 19 team and was able to travel to the Gold Coast to play Australia. I had also played for the New Zealand Flag Football Makos at the World Championship in Miami, Florida. During the tournament i was named the team's offensive player of the tournament and led the team in Touchdowns. I know that I can bring a lot to the game of football in the U.S but I am just needing the help to do so!
This is a huge step for myself as I will be travelling to Minnesota on my own chasing my childhood dream. I would be very grateful for any amount you would be willing to give as it would get me one bit closer to where I am wanting to be.
The funds raised will go towards my tuition, housing and flights!
