Expenses paid trip for 10 to see a Premiership game

Childline Soccer Blitz 2011 

We are calling all sports and soccer enthusiasts to take part in the inaugural Childline seven-a-side soccer tournament which will take place in April 2011.  (10 players per team)  

Whether you are part of your sports and social soccer team or play against a group of your friends at the weekend, there’s a space for you!  

When & Where:  
Sunday 10th April –  Cork- Colaiste Stiofain Naofa 

Grand Prize:

Grand prize for the winning team of an expenses paid trip for 10 to see a premiership game (Man Utd or Liverpool) at a later stage in the year.  This will include flights, accommodation and match tickets.

The Childline Charity Cup will also be up for grabs and this will be rotated on an annual basis.

We will also have a host of smaller runner-up prizes on offer.

How to enter:  
All teams need to fundraise for the ISPCC Childline service in Cork to take part in the blitz.  Each team needs to raise €1,500, that’s €150 per team member. 

There are a number of ways to do this.  Each team member can take a sponsorship card to raise their share of the entry.  That's just €10 from 15 people for each person!

Teams can also fundraise through their place of work, i.e dress down day, office Olympics, company sponsorship etc. 

Teams can also hold a table quiz or any other fun event to help them to raise the €1,500. 

Format: 
There will be 16 teams at each tournament only, playing over a 4-hour period, 2-hour league going to a 2-stage knockout.

We will also have extra challenges on the day such as a Crossbar Challenge, penalty shoot out etc. 

Why take part:  
Childline is Ireland’s only multi-media listening service for children providing support, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  Tough times are tough on children too and calls to Childline have soared in 2010.

Just €5 can help us answer one more call.  Each team taking part and raising €1,500 has the potential to help us answer 300 more calls for some of Ireland’s most vulnerable children in need of support.

    They need our help and we need yours! 

There is a limit of 16 teams per tournament so please sign up early to avoid disappointment. Register online here.

We look forward to hearing from you very soon.
