Can you help raise vital funds for Street Soccer Academy?
It is around this time every year that Street Soccer Academy host their annual fundraiser, Soccer 24. Once again due to the restrictions imposed by the Coronavirus crisis it is not possible to host the football-based event. Following on from the success of the online fundraising event we hosted in 2020 we are looking to ‘raise our game’ to see if our supporters can help us beat last year’s total. Can you, as an individual, or as a group , come up with a 24-hour challenge and participate in LOCKDOWN 24 2.0 and help raise valuable funds in aid of our charitable work with isolated individual

It really is up to you. To make LOCKDOWN 24 accessible to all the challenges can be anything. Challenges can be done individually or in teams. The challenge could be 24 one-hour challenges or could be a team effort to achieve an accumulative target over a 24-hour period, either informally or using apps such as Strava or My Virtual Challenge.

3 Plan your 24-hour challenge(s)
Ahead of the event day plan a schedule of the challenge(s) you will undertake. You will have seen many videos posted on social media by people carrying out any number of fun challenges. We want you to be creative, but remember to stay safe. The challenges can be sport or fitness related, linked to a hobby you may have or even, you learning a new skill or demonstrating a skill you already have. So lets see you do an hour of keepy-uppies, a session on a treadmill or even an hour’s chipping practice. For those undertaking team challenges we have seen bike-ride, running and swimming distance challenges with teams set a cumulative target to reach over the 24-hour period. The choice is yours.
