THE FOOTBALL PROJECT

El Tránsito - Nicaragua (Azul y Blanco)

We can all benefit from sharing common goals with others who push us towards them. The lessons that players learn on the field translate to the rest of their lives and the teammates share in unparalleled. The ability to work with others to reach a common goal is powerful when related to everyday life-

Football helps increase skills in concentration, persistence, and self-discipline because it is a fast-paced game that requires quick decisions on the field.

Building physical strength and endurance help build confidence in a player both on and off the field. Confidence and self-esteem not only impact sports performance, but also performance in school, career, family life, and friendships. Also, as with all forms of exercise, the feel-good endorphins released into the body after a match are major stress and anxiety reducers.

JUNE 2022

We made 7v7 / 9v9 mobile football goals and install them on the baseball field !

We are building the team now! 

Next steps are the jersey and football uniforms and organizing weekly trainings & games.

We’ll also train on the beach when it’s low tide.

We are also running football trainings for the kids every Saturday morning starting at 8am. We are looking for a football coach even someone novice to help to build different teams.
 
Very happy of the outcome already, looking for a better moral structure now.

The history of the project

El Transito has an interest for football, this is not the main sport but many boys and girls are playing it.

In 2016, we had a small football field down the village next to the school and kids were playing after school and we were organizing serious 5 vs 5 games with adults.

Some guys from other villages were coming to challenge El Transito.

We also played 11 a side games on the baseball field by assembling 3 wood sticks together to build the goals.

There was way more than this, I would say:
– 40 to 45 pairs
– 30 football jerseys
– 6-7 football balls and a pomp
– 50 shorts
– 2 full goalkeeper kits

Donations

I didn’t take pictures of all the people that receive things… There is also a lot of kids that came to me to ask and I didn’t have anymore, it’s not easy to organize and give fairly.

A father came and told me that his son slept with the shoes!

I felt pumped up now by the impact it made there.
