New Football Club Receives Funding for New Kit

We’re delighted to support Yarmouth United Football Club, with a new full kit to help them get the new football club off the ground.

Yarmouth United FC has over 20 players and plans to encourage more people to be involved, increasing the number of players to include teams in all age groups. The funding will be used to purchase a full kit for their new men’s team, including full goalkeeper kit.

The club has appointed managers Mikey Grayson from Martham FC and Lee Hackleton from Great Yarmouth Town FC and the club has already had magnificent results from friendly games played in April.

Travis Manning, Yarmouth United FC Secretary said “We are absolutely thrilled to be in receipt of a start-up grant from Great Yarmouth Sports & Leisure Trust which has provided us with the opportunity to purchase kit for our new football club. As a new club, this funding means absolutely everything to us as the start-up costs are expensive so this will go a long way and help us by providing a kit for our new men’s team. Thank you so much GYS&L!”

We wish Yarmouth United FC every success for the future and look forward to seeing their progress along the way.

New women’s team at Caister Football Club receives funding for new kit

We’re only too pleased to support Caister Football Club with funding for a new women’s football team kit. With management and players already lined up, the club is establishing a female adult football team and the club want to ensure their team is kitted out ready for next season.

Established over 100 years ago, Caister FC have nine youth teams and three adult teams making them over 300 members strong. The club aims to enable people of all ages, genders, and abilities to participate in grassroots football and offer a facility for the community. The club is so passionate about being involved in the local community, that it helped to provide free meals for vulnerable people at the start of the pandemic. See here for the full story.

In their wish to promote the participation of female players, to increase awareness and to offer more women the opportunity to join a local team, Alan Pearce, Chairman commented “All of us at Caister FC consider that it is crucial to broaden our engagement with the local community. We believe grassroots sport will become ever more important in the future and our ambition is to provide the best environment for the club members. Obtaining this funding from the Great Yarmouth Sport and Leisure Trust will diversify what we can offer and enhance our sustainability. We are very grateful that they share in our vision for the future of the club."

Watch out for the new women’s kit which we’re excited to report will include Great Yarmouth Sport and Leisure Trust branding!
