Hello everyone ! Tryouts for my non-profit, Project No Turnovers/Flicked It Up Elite is in less than a month and i'm so excited! Not only did I have over 450 applicants, I also had a nice amount of coaches show interest as well. We are still accepting coaches, as well as youth photographers for my youth photography group i am that will starting as well.
For everyone who doesn't know, Project No Turnovers is an offseason 7v7 program. The goal of Project No Turnovers is to keep athletes out of the streets. This program will be focused on brotherhood, mentorship, development, and exposure. There will be on registration fees, and athletes will be provided with a jersey to use at no cost. They will also be provided with free film and photos, giving them exposure. The only thing that will be left for families to cover will be travel costs, and I have already planned monthly fundraisers that will hopefully cover these costs.
I am currently trying to get a bigger venue so that I can have an open tryout. The capacity for Belle Isle Athletic Complex is 200, so at the moment I am only able to do invite only tryouts-leaving over 200 people out.
We are also in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3)!
Once we receive our 501(c)(3) status, it will allow us to:
• Apply for grants and additional funding opportunities
• Accept tax-deductible donations
• Partner with businesses and community organizations more easily
• Expand our programs and reach even more youth athletes
If anyone would like to donate to support tryouts it'd greatly appreciate help with items like:
•Bottled water
•Sports drinks
•Healthy snacks
•Ice and coolers
•Tryout equipment (cones, ladders, etc.)
•First aid supplies
