During your experience as a coach you may run into a time when you are in need of equipment in order to compete. Every sport needs specific equipment which can often be rather expensive. In order to request equipment from your athletic department or whoever may be in charge of your funds, you may need to create a request letter. This letter is often typed and should consist of the following:
- You must know who you will be writing the request letter to. Include their address and date of the letter in the top left corner. After you include the date and address of course follow with a greeting (Dear Mr. or Mrs. Smith).
- After your greeting you will include your main point, which in this case would be the need of equipment.
- Once you have informed the reader of what you are requesting, it is time to give an explanation of why you are in need of the equipment. This is when you can include the amount of jerseys that include rips and tears, or whatever the explanation may be in which you are in need of the new equipment.
- After you have stated you explanation it is time for the closing. Always be positive in the closing in the hopes that the reader will fulfill your request. Conclude with a thank you and sign the letter if you choose. Also include your contact information so that the reader can get back to your request.
Hopefully with the following information you will be capable of obtaining those new uniforms you were hoping for, or the new and improved gear that all the other teams are wearing. Whatever your request may be, always remember to stay positive.
I like how you incorporated what we have learned to do in class in your blog. I think you touched on all the key point to writing a request. You forget that even though you are a coach you need to be able to communicate on paper as well to get what you need for your team.
