Sponsorship Overview

Nedlands Football Club is an amateur club run by volunteers.  While the majority of the club’s overheads are covered through player subscriptions, sponsorships are a very important part of supplementing the membership fees to cover operating costs and for building the club’s cash reserves for future growth and development.

It is vital that you support those Sponsors that are supporting your club and that when speaking or dealing with them you mention that you appreciate their involvement.  For without tangible support from us, many sponsors will not renew their support.  So please do all that you can to encourage friends and family to utilize the Club sponsors.

Current priorities for the club include:

• Purchasing gold and green strips for the all of our sides for the 2008 season in recognition of the Socceroos’ achievement in qualifying for the Football World Cup to be held in Germany in mid 2006.
• Upgrade of coaching equipment - including 'mobile goals', 'slalom poles'; coaching manuals, DVD’s etc. which will be used to raise the standards of coaching and play across the club over the coming seasons - if our aim is to truly be the best amateur club in WA, then we need to ensure that our coaching standards and equipment match that ambition;
• Improvement to the playing surfaces of our grounds - most of the maintenance is kindly provided by Nedlands City Council, but the grounds require periodic leveling, rolling, topsoiling etc. to prepare them for the new season and to improve them during the season after heavy wear and tear (particularly around the goal-mouths);
• Provision of improved floodlighting to fields in order to facilitate evening training;
• Payment towards coaching courses and accreditation for our coaching staff across the Club;
• Support of our most talented players to participate in appropriate development activities, including contributions towards tours in the case of proven financial need;
• Providing for the club’s future growth and associated financial needs.

As a Sponsor you can be assured of excellent publicity - we have over 500 players, and your brand name will be exposed to them and their families and friends, the general public who visit the Nedlands / Dalkeith foreshore area, and a huge range of other people who play against us and who see us playing at away games every second week.  We therefore strongly appeal to you to become a proud sponsor of Nedlands Football Club in the 2008 season, and you will know that your funds are being put to great use to help our coaches and players take Nedlands FC to new heights.
