Sporting Futures USA is proud to announce that we will become the primary sponsor of Ryman Isthiam League club Crowborough Athletic FC for this coming season.
Crowborough Athletic will wear the Sporting Futures USA logo on their club shirts and will do so at 1st, reserve & youth academy team levels.Adam Hay, Sporting Futures Head of Sport, England said “Sporting Futures USA is proud to represent Crowborough Athletic Football Club as their 2011/12 club sponsor.
We believe that our Student Athlete Development Program represents the ideal starting point for aspiring young sportsmen & women who wish to gain a university degree whilst competing at the highest level in their sport. We believe that CAFC shares the same enthusiasm for developing top young players for the senior game and support also the importance for players in education.
Former CAFC youngsters, Matt Kenton and Elliott Kelly have already successfully completed the Sporting Futures Student Athlete Development Program and have completed their first year as student athletes in the United States. Matt Kenton of Grand View University, Iowa and Elliott Kelly of Notre Dame College, Ohio are currently enjoying great success in the classroom and on the playing field. Both squads finished the 2010/11 season as nationally ranked teams and competed in the prestigious NAIA National Tournament in Alabama. Both teams met each other in the quarter finals with Notre Dame progressing to the final where they finished runner ups.
Our aim is to support the clubs future success, however we will be paying close attention to CAFC’s strong U18 youth academy. We hope our relationship with the club will highlight their attention to each players future both in sport and education. Ultimately we hope to create an avenue for the clubs academy players who wish to fulfil ambitions in the United States and gain a first class degree by doing something they love, playing football.”
Paul Boggis of Crowborough Athletic Football club added “this commitment and partnership from two such prestigious companies is very important to our club as we plan our campaign for next season. With our recently announced U18 Academy we will continue to develop talented young footballers who will have the opportunity to play at the highest level they can achieve. Our partnership with Sporting Futures allows further opportunities for these boys.
