Czech Lacrosse hasn't added a story.
Dear International Lacrosse Fan,
As part of the growing community of developing lacrosse playing nations, the Czech Republic is still a few years away from having the base-level, internally invested resources needed to establish an entirely self-supporting infrastructure. Because of this, much of the financial burden associated with putting our team of ambitious and talented pioneers onto the field at World Championship events (like transport, housing, equipment, and other intangible expenses) still falls predominantly to our players. Given that the majority of our players are still reasonably young students, these costs quickly add up to impose significant barriers to the participation of our team at such events.
By all accounts, this year's world championship in Denver will
mark a special occasion for our sport. With an estimated 40 teams
planning to attend, and ESPN providing coverage of as many as 60
games, this tournament will provide the stage for lacrosse's
international coming out party as we begin the march towards
acceptance, relevance, and Olympic inclusion. With the level of
talent, cohesion, commitment, and coaching that our team has this
year, we believe that this great setting could also provide the
backdrop for our team's arrival as one of the true up-and-coming
contenders to join the ranks of the "big boys" in the blue
division at future tournaments. This will be no easy task, however,
and every dollar that we must ask our players to contribute out of
their own pockets only makes things that much harder. Therefore, if
you have any interest in the continued growth of field lacrosse in the
Czech Republic, we would kindly request that you consider donating to
our worthy cause. As a token of our appreciation, we are prepared to
provide a commemorative t-shirt (see thumbnail on right) to every
supporter contributing $50 or more.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
The entire 2014 Czech National Field Lacrosse Team
