The Handbook

While preparations for the Perth event are being carried out, it might be helpful for everyone else, everywhere else, to see what's needed to get something going where you are:
1) Talk to people about it
2) Get a team together, either to help organise (if you need it) or to help promote it or just to guarantee they'll be there - all the people I've spoken to have promised the latter without hesitation.
3) Find a venue. It can be anywhere, from the small and intimate backyard to the spontaneous game on a street (watch out for traffic) to your nearby park, or school, or university. If it's one of the latter, book it (and watch out for booking fees - if you can get a business owner or community group to cover that then go ahead with it!)
4) get players and teams together
5) get support - again business owners and community groups will help, whether it's by putting up a poster for your event, spreading the word, providing refreshments or just joining in. Remember if you do get any sort of sponsorship help, do a little advertising for them in return (if you want them listed on this site, contact Lucy via play4zimbabwe@gmail.com )

Remember, the emphasis is on enjoying being Zimbabwean and being together to represent a country we all love, so do it all with enthusiasm!
