Cardigan Town FC – Under 13s
My name is Jo watkins I am a support worker for challenging behaviour, learning difficulties and austism. In my free time i volunteer coach taking on cardigan town u13s. we are looking for a sponsorship for a new kit but also having sub coats (all weather) jackets for the up coming season. I have a plan for the next season of getting the lads fundraising and taking them to a festival in north wales and then possibly tour some festivals in England, im looking at getting the lads the best possible recognition and experience they deserve.
They are an amazing bunch of lads. Winning everything the could last season. I believe them being sponsored will increase your sales and recognition especially if we manage to raise the money for going to north wales and England as going further afield could produce the opportunity for more tourism.
I have an idea about there new kit as they are growing there old kit no longer fits, i am putting my own money in to buy training equipment, water bottles and balls but think it would also look more professional for the guys with having sponsorship. I hope to hear from you soon. Many thanks
Target Audience
The event is for children from u8s to u16s and there parents from all around the country. Carsigan town fc has a varied fan base with support coming from all over as players come from all over having friends and familys come to watch them ranging in both men and women. But also fully support diversity and Lgbtq+.
Key Dates and Timings
The festival i am aiming for is may next year. But if you was willing to sponsor we would look at 1 off for help towards the kit and training but would wear the kit for atleast 1 season with a review at the end of next season.
Specific Opportunity Details
I am looking at trying to get the lads on tournaments and festivals with travelling starting with Rhyl May next season if it’s successful with logistics and trying to raise money for the lads to go and parents are willing then it provides further opportunities. We have a Facebook page already and with it being shared will have plenty of opportunities for expanding.
I think it would be an amazing opportunity as you’ll be supporting the junior football side as well as providing opportunities for them aswell as supporting the diverse communities that are apart of the team,families and friends. I think it could be a potential for prompting travel and tourism espeically if we manage to get to north wales and England with different festivals.
Features and Benefits
A sponsorship or sponsor would help with getting kit and training kits/weather jackets. You would be branding and advertising your company as we would have your logo or name on our kits. I think it would promote opportunities for people who are wanting to join your company.
You would be able to sample and have an input on design im looking at getting a couple of ideas and getting a vote on what the kids would prefer as it would also promote there independence and I’d love for them to be apart of decisions as I do believe with my line of work in promoting positive behaviour management. If it would be possible support with making festivals happen aswell as that would benefit you with being promoted further afield.
Other Partners
Other sponsors vary depending on age range the current sponsor for the previous kit was a gentleman called seamus but as it was previous coach I am unsure on what the sponsorship was. They will not be sponsoring the events I am planning.
Investment
An investment of 1500 that would get the full kit and weather jacket thay is also rounding up we may be able to get them cheaper. Or support buying the kit, if there was an opportunity for cash investment towards fundraising for the events a figure of £500 would help get started and we would raise more as we need £165 for registration fee and £50per person deposit for a squad of 18 without parents i am getting parents involved with helping fundraise and subs that are spare will go towards it but the rest of the subs at the minute are going towards paying for rental of the 3g. Promotional support bu advertising on your website and papers and social media would be appreciated aswell.
Other Info
I think this would be a great opportunity for you aswell as the lads. There aren’t enough opportunities for the youngsters in football and after playing for the villa when I was younger getting injured and not having the support due to womens football not being ss big ss it is now I don’t want the lads to miss out like I did. I want them to progress and possibly become the next Gareth bale or Aaron ramsey. I am trying to promote opportunities for the lads. I wish them the best and will do everything I can to provide that for them.
