We met a single father and his 6 year old son earlier this year. The father had lost his job as a landscaper during Covid due to lockdown restrictions and having to be at home to support his son through home learning. Both are keen cricket players and had regularly gone along to their local club to watch on Sundays but were unable to play due to financial hardship. The father befriended several members at the club over time and offered to maintain the cricket green and gardens in return for the club to waive the registration costs so that his son could join the club. The club encouraged the family to contact Team Sports 4 All, which they did. We met the family, covered the registration and uniform costs and enrolled the son for the upcoming season. One of our Sports Mentors kept in regular contact with the family and were delighted to hear that every Sunday morning the son played in his league and then stayed to watch his dad playing in the seniors in the afternoons. The club had accepted the father’s offer of maintaining the green which in return covered his own registration costs. All summer they spent every Sunday at the local cricket club, both playing cricket for their teams and enjoying being part of the community. Cricket season is now well and truly over but Team Sports 4 All are still very much supporting this family and the son is currently happily playing his first season of AFL.
