Subject: Application seeking admission for training in hockey

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a student in Std. VIII studying at Bishop Cotton School, Nagpur. I am a keen hockey enthusiast. I have been playing hockey since the age of seven. My father, Mr. B. Chaudhary, has been in the State Hockey team for years. He has been my trainer so far and I have picked up the basics of the game under his guidance. I have also represented my school in many prestigious tournaments and our team has own many trophies. I specialize in goal-keeping.

I have heard of your modern and scientific way of coaching and your wonderful ability to take promising students to the national level in the game. I wish to improve my skills because I think I have it in me to excel in the game. Under your coaching I think I shall be able to realize my full potential.

Please let me know if you will consider me as a likely candidate for coaching. I am willing to come and meet you at your convenience.

Yours faithfully,

XYZ
