⚠️ WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP
Due to late drop-outs, we urgently need more host families to step forward. The Dutch team visits 24th to 29th April 2026.
Dear Sandhurst FC families,
I’m writing to you today with a heartfelt plea, and I want to be completely open with you about our situation.
Due to late drop-outs, we are now critically short of host families. This is a serious situation and time is against us.
We are asking every Sandhurst family, whether your child is directly involved in this year’s visit or not, to please consider opening your home for one Dutch player for the weekend.
What hosting involves, 24th to 29th April 2026
A bed
Room or mattress for one player for the weekend
Simple meals
Breakfast & dinner, packed lunch provided
Transport
Morning drop-off, we handle everything else
“
It doesn’t feel like an intrusion. The kids are out most of the time and you can carry on with your usual weekend as normal. They still connect on social media two years later!
