Fledgling Swansea youth club is appealing to big business to help get the project off the ground.
Organisers at the new Brynmill and Uplands club have written to high street names including Argos, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Currys and Soccer World asking them to get involved.
The project, which is aimed at 11 to 16-year-olds, will be officially launched on Sunday, March 18, at Brynmill Community Centre.Some funding for equipment and training has already come from the Sports Council for Wales's Dragon Sports initiative, and Uplands Labour Party has made a donation.
The people behind the club say they hope it will help to keep youngsters off the streets.One of the organisers, Ian Ross, said: "This is a great opportunity for businesses to make a real difference in the local community."
