Team Northants Handball Academy
I am writing on behalf of Team Northants Handball Academy, a newly established community handball club in Northampton. Handball is a hugely popular sport around the world and it’s growing here in the UK.
Our U16 girls team has already achieved something remarkable: half of the squad (8 players) has been selected for the Talent Pathway Programme of the England Handball Association, the largest representation from a single club. With the right support, we are confident these talented young athletes can continue to develop and, in time, even aspire to represent Team GB.
As a new club, we are seeking sponsorship to help us purchase essential equipment and cover basic costs. Your support would not only make a real difference to these girls’ sporting journey, but also demonstrate your company’s commitment to youth development, diversity, and opportunity in sport.
We would be delighted to discuss how we can recognize and promote your support, whether through branding on kits, social media promotion, or at matches and community events.
Thank you very much for considering this opportunity to support our young athletes.
Target Audience
Our audience ranges from ages 6 to 99+, and includes people of all genders and from across the UK and beyond.
Key Dates and Timings
a full season or more
Specific Opportunity Details
Our club was born out of school sport and has only recently developed into a formal club, about a month ago, so we do not yet have many followers. We are confident, however, that we will grow and be able to provide good visibility to those who support us now, at the beginning of this journey full of challenges and opportunities.
Features and Benefits
Each sponsor will benefit from full visibility across all our kits, social media channels (including hashtags), our website, and banners at all events we organise – including an international summer tournament currently in development.
The main Sponsor will also have the opportunity to name the team, for example ‘Team Northants [SPONSOR]’, which would be the official team name appearing in all England Handball Association communications and media coverage. In addition, our players are available to take part in promotional videos wearing the Team Northants kit.
Other Partners
We are only just beginning our search, so at the time this application was made, no sponsor had yet been secured.
Investment
Our estimated budget requirement for this season is approximately £3,500, which will be used to cover sports hall rental, as well as the purchase of kits and training equipment. Any contribution you may be able to provide would be most welcome. Together with the membership fees from our players, this support will enable us to improve the conditions necessary for their development as handball players.
