Our Sponsors

South Leicester Youth Hockey is run by volunteers and no profit is made from its activities.

Our sponsors are important in keeping the cost of participation as low as possible.

We invite potential sponsors, interested in growing youth participation in hockey, to contact us to find out how you can play a part.

How sponsors can help

Potential sponsors can help in several meaningful ways, offering support that can have a significant impact on our growth, sustainability, and visibility.

In return, the sponsor benefits from exposure to a local, engaged community, the opportunity to associate their brand with positive, grassroots initiatives, and the chance to build loyalty among members and supporters. It creates a mutually beneficial relationship that supports both the sponsor and SLYH's growth.

Here are some ways in which sponsors might contribute:

Financial Support

• Funding for Operations: Sponsorship money can help cover operational costs such as facilities hire, equipment, kit, and keep participation & membership costs low.
• Event Sponsorship: A sponsor might cover the costs of organising special camps, or our activities, which can increase visibility and community engagement.

Product or Service Donations

• Donations: Sponsors can donate products that we can use (e.g., sports equipment, kit, or catering), which reduces our costs and ensures that players or members have access to quality resources.
• Services: Service-based sponsors can offer their expertise, such as marketing or services like printing merchandise or providing a venue for events

Marketing & Promotion

• Branding & Exposure: Sponsors can promote us through their own networks and media channels, increasing our exposure to a wider audience. This might include flyers or banners at events.
• Social Media & Advertising: A sponsor might help manage social media accounts or create advertising campaigns to raise awareness for the our activities, increasing engagement and recruitment.

Incentives and Rewards

• Awards: Sponsors might offer prizes or rewards for top performers. This helps incentivise participation and performance, fostering a sense of achievement.

Building a Sense of Community

• Social Events: Sponsors could help create a stronger sense of belonging by supporting social events or volunteer initiatives within the local area.
• Fun Days: They could help host family-friendly events or fun activities, contributing to the social aspect of the community.
