They Chose Discipline Over Distraction – Let’s Support Them

We know it’s a little cheeky but it’s for all the right reasons and close to home.

Arnold’s (Kelly's Cousin) been coaching a group of boys from Atlantis since they were just six to eight years old. In a community where gangsterism often steals the spotlight and our young men, he’s been the steady, positive voice; teaching them the game, but also life: values, discipline, teamwork, and pride. He often shows up to their schools where parents are absent, helps with their homework and provides meals when needed.

These same boys are now sixteen, seventeen and eighteen – and they’ve qualified for something huge: The Bayhill Premier Cup, the biggest under-19 tournament on the African continent. Out of over 200 teams across the country, only 30 made it through. And Jomos Power FC, their local community club, is one of them.

The tournament runs from 16 to 21 April 2025, and this could be a once in a lifetime moment for these boys.

So here’s our little plea – even if it’s ten dirhams/ rand or three euro – please consider helping us help them get there. Every bit counts and will go directly to the teams accommodation, transportation, kit and meals.

Dan and I are doing this quietly – our cousin Arnold has no idea.
