Learning to float before learning to race
Free Saturday lessons in fourteen neighbourhood pools, one coach in the water for every six kids, and swimsuits that never need to come back.
Inside the swim program
Room
to run
For twenty years, Fieldday has put boots, bikes, coaches and safe places to play within reach of kids who would otherwise watch from the sidelines.
See what we fundEvery court we paint and every team we fund starts the same way: one kid deciding it's worth a try.
No tryouts. Just show up and pass the ball.
Neighbourhood leagues where every kid gets minutes on the pitch. We cover the fees, the kit, the boots and, when it's needed, the ride home.
How the leagues work
Walking off the field a little taller
Our coaches are trained to notice the quiet kid at the end of the bench, and to give them a reason to come back next week.

Ways to jump in
Give on your own schedule, or turn a night at the stadium into a season of sport for somebody else.
Give once or every month
Pick an amount and a rhythm. Monthly gifts let local clubs plan a whole season instead of a single term.
Match day raffle
Grab a ticket at any home game of our partner clubs. Half the pot goes to the winner, half goes to the kids.
Monthly auctions
Bid on signed kit, pitch-side seats and one-off experiences. New lots go live on the first Monday of every month.
Signed mystery balls
Every box holds a ball signed by a first-team player. Open it and find out whether you landed a club legend.
Big-screen shout-out
Put a birthday wish, a welcome home or a proposal on the stadium screen during a home match.
Take the first kick
Your kid walks out with the captains and takes the ceremonial kick-off in front of a full stand.
The Fieldday Cup auction is open
Until October 12, bid on pitch-side seats, signed match shirts and a training session run by first-team coaches. Every lot pays for a season of free sport.
