Frank Smith Pool League
We are looking for someone to sponsor our local Pool League, we p[ay in South East London in a variety of pubs to a range of people, including several disabled players.
we have around 300 players playing in the league with many more joining each year,
our teams play locally but also play against teams from other leagues and at National Finals which means our league name and website is seen by hundreds of people at any time.
Target Audience
our Pool league attracts players from all ages, diversities, ability and income brackets.
most of our players are very sociable, into a variety of sports, such as Pool, Snooker, Football, Golf etc.
we don’t have many tech savvy people, these are normal people working normal average jobs.
Key Dates and Timings
sponsorship would vary depending on what they would like to sponsor, for example:
* Winter Season runs from September to March and is our main season where winners get the opportunity to go to National Finals.
* Summer Season runs from May to August and is where players keep their standards up
* Interleague – this is a competition that runs every calendar year
Specific Opportunity Details
this is our first search for sponsors as we have always been self-sufficient but with rising costs of everything we are trying to not to increase our player fees as many work low waged jobs and families.
our players want to be able to compete in all the local, regional and national competitions but as a league we are not able to cover the entry costs and accommodations
Features and Benefits
we would rename our main trophy for the duration of the sponsorship so would become the XX Singles Trophy, or for large sponsors we could rebrand our divisions so instead of just being First Division we could name it the ABC First Division, the level of sponsorship would dictate which division the sponsor would be assigned (we have 3 divisions of an average of 10 teams)
the sponsor would be added to all our web pages and any marketing emails we send, and our facebook groups
Other Partners
we have no sponsors at the moment.
Investment
we are looking to raise sponsorships for around £2500 per year to help us cover the running of the league and all trophies we award our players, along with covering entry fees to National Finals.
our league has to pay fees to several organisations to be affiliated to the local and national organisations, as well as entry fees to all competitions which at the moment means our league is operating at a net loss per year.
