Hi, I’m Jacob Toms, Team Manager of the Xcel NxtGen Programme—a high-performance football pathway for 16–21-year-olds on the Isle of Wight.

Our NxtGen programme was recently featured on Island Echo, with the article attached: https://www.islandecho.co.uk/xcel-performance-coaching-launches-recruitment-for-2025-26-nxtgen-programme/

This year, our players have the chance to represent the Island at top-level tournaments, including the Surf Cup International in Spain and the Royals Pre-Season Cup in Reading. These are incredible opportunities—but they come with significant costs.

We’re raising funds to help cover:

• Travel and accommodation

• Tournament entry fees

• Kit and equipment for the squad

Our target is to support as many players as possible—every £100 helps sponsor and support an individuals place on the trip.

Your donation, big or small, helps make this dream possible for young, hard-working footballers from our community. If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign would mean just as much.

Thanks for your support,

Jacob Toms

Team Manager, Xcel NxtGen Programme
