At Shooting Stars FC, we believe football should be fun, inclusive, and accessible to all kids, regardless of their background. Our club is more than just a football training program. It’s a place where children learn, grow, and pick up English naturally through play.
Since we started in 2023, the two founders and main coaches have given their time, knowledge, and experience to build and run the club without taking any payment for their work. This has allowed us to keep the programme as affordable as possible for families while putting as much of our resources as possible back into the children and the club. However, this programme still comes with real costs, including field rentals, competion fees, equipment, uniforms, and other essentials. This is where support from businesses and individuals can make a real difference.
We’re incredibly grateful to those who have already contributed to making this dream a reality:
⭐ Wilms NV – Sponsored €500 in 2024 and 2025, allowing us to provide one free team shirt for every new child joining our club.
⭐ Otonomee – Sponsored €300 in 2026, dedicated to our new futsal project and providing every player with a free futsal outfit.
⭐ Rob Haesen – Donated and collected €850 in 2026, from family and friends to support our project, and brought usable second-hand football shoes all the way from Belgium. The shoes were given to players in our club whose families are facing financial difficulties, helping make sure they have what they need to play.
⭐ Wannes Vervoort – Donated €700 in 2026, helping us get our new futsal project off the ground with eight new futsal balls. Part of the donation also covered one player’s full tuition for the entire year. His family had always made a real effort to make the fees work, and we knew this would make a meaningful difference for them. The remaining support helps us organise occasional free events for the kids.
⭐ Alen Pavlovic ("Type08") in 2024 – Designed our jerseys pro bono, bringing our vision to life with a design that represents our club's spirit and values.
⭐ James Bos – Generously donated €200 in 2024, helping us purchase footballs for our growing team.
⭐ Our Family & Friends in 2025 – A special thank you to my parents and Mommy Naem for their personal contributions, which continue to support the team.
As more kids join us, we need additional footballs, uniforms, and support for those who can’t afford even the smallest fee. Here’s how you can help:
Donate second-hand football shoes – Many kids would love to play but lack proper footwear.
Sponsor a child’s training – A donation of just 50 THB (about €1, £1, $1.50, or 2 AUD ) provides a free class for a child of a family on a tighter budget.
Buy a team jersey – Jerseys are available for 450 THB (about €12, £10, $13.5, or 20 AUD, excluding shipping). For every jersey sold, 100 THB goes directly into our uniform & equipment budget, helping us provide gear for kids who need it.
Spread the word – If you know someone who believes in accessible sports for kids, share our mission with them!
Every contribution-big or small-helps us keep the game fun, inclusive, and accessible. If you’d like to support us, feel free to reach out. Together, we can create a space where every child gets the chance to shine on the field!
