GC17 would like your help to house and be responsible for young elite athletes who are in the training squad for the Gold Coast Football Club. Among the current squad of 40 plus under 18 players, there are up to 12 that will need to be relocated to the Gold Coast from all around Queensland. GC17 is inviting expressions of interest to provide homestay for these boys.
Interested parties should be able to provide comfortable living arrangements that include:
- The athletes own room.
- Nutritious food â It is very important that the player should eat nutritiously and GC17 may provide advice to this effect.
The player would be responsible for his own washing and cleaning. GC17 would like the player to be responsible and look after himself to a large degree.
Each player has different individual needs. They are either 16 or 17 and some will go to school. We will aim to match the needs of the athlete with the family. GC17 will pay board and lodging of approximately $150 a week. The players may need to be with you for up to1 year.
Training for the squad will started last Saturday and we would like to have the players housed as soon as possible. If you are unable to commit within the next few weeks, please get in touch anyway as we will need people going forward also. If you would like to be a part of the club in this very unique way, please email Rob Garner at rgarner@aflq.com.au and I will get back to you with any questions you may have.
Cheers
Rob
