Wolmer's Hockey Revamp

One of our first priorities as a club is to revamp the Wolmer's hockey programme — and we need the Raiders community, parents, relatives, sponsors and friends behind it.

The project

What we proposed

The plan hinges on an aggressive recruitment drive over the next few months, built around visibility, engagement and fun — challenges with prizes that pull boys into the sport and keep them there.

The school expressed enthusiasm and support, even committing to back our request to host a flagship 5-a-side indoor tournament in the auditorium this academic year, among other commitments, as a show of faith in the programme we have proposed.

Fundraising target
J$350,000

What it takes to run the recruitment drive, support the team, and host the flagship indoor tournament properly. Pledges of cash, goods and services all count toward the target.

Fun & prizes

Skills challenges and mini games with real prizes, so turning up is worth it from day one.

Competition

Hosting multiple small challenges and competitions leading up to the major tournament/showcase event — date to be announced.

Where we need help

There is a lot of work needed to make sure the plan is executed well. We're asking the Raiders community, parents, relatives, sponsors and friends to help out wherever they can.

Volunteer time

Support recruitment drives during the school day or after — dates to be communicated.

Flyers, posters and printing to advertise the programme on campus.
