2025 Gelos Connections Book

 

Spark connections and celebrate achievements with the innovative Gelos Collection Book available from September 2025. The book is designed to create lasting memories for group members while fostering a sense of connection to other group members, achievement and skills recognition over the course of the year. At the start of the year, each player receives their own Gelos Connections Book. This book will play a central role in their journey throughout the year within their clubs.

  • Connection - Randomly selected, participating team coaches will provide a weekly sticker with an individual images of group members that will also highlight positive information about that group member, including their hobbies, interests, and achievements. This approach aims to foster genuine conversations and connections among players and learn to recognise and appreciate differences etc (they can swap cards to complete their collection), as they discover shared passions and unique talents within their peers. By encouraging players to consider other players on a personal level, we hope to create a supportive and inclusive group environment where every child feels valued and understood.
  • Mastery and Values - In addition to the weekly sticker cards, group members will set goals and can earn competence stickers for hitting specific goal targets (more regular than medals and equal impact) . Coaches can set targets/ competitions designed to challenge and inspire players to reach new heights in within their sport. The competence-based cards will be a testament to their hard work and dedication.
  • Memories - At the end of the year, the Gelos Connections book will transform into a cherished memory book that students can look back on with pride of all their own participating teams from across the year. It will be a tangible representation of their teammates, achievements, challenges, and growth throughout the year. We believe that this program will not only enhance their group connection but also create a sense of nostalgia and accomplishment that they can carry with them for years to come.
  • Raise Funds! – While establishing a deeper player connection, your club will receive a percentage of the funds raised to allow each group raise significant funds to buy equipment etc over the course of the year. Community is at the heart of everything we do with the Gelos Connections Book and supporting clubs is central to our values.
