Sponsorships.
Put Your Business Behind Something People Actually Participate In.
Support the game. Support the people playing it. Be part of the community around it.
Sponsorship with Off Yo Couch Sports can do more than put a logo on a banner. It can give a child the opportunity to play, support an entire team, provide court space, strengthen a program or allow us to continue creating places for people to get off the couch and into the game.
What Do You Want Your Sponsorship to Do?
A partnership with Off Yo Couch Sports can take many forms.
You may want to give a child the opportunity to participate, support your employees' families, provide a place for athletes to play, strengthen a specific program or build a broader relationship with Off Yo Couch Sports.
Some businesses are primarily interested in community impact. Others want meaningful visibility alongside that investment. Many are looking for both.
Start with what matters to your organization. We can build the partnership around it.
Give a Kid the Chance to Get in the Game.
Sometimes the only thing standing between a child and a season is the registration fee.
Not every family has room in the budget for another registration, uniform or sports expense. Sponsorship can make participation possible when cost would otherwise keep a young athlete from joining a program.
A registration fee should not be the reason a child who wants to play has to sit out.
Sponsor a Kid
Cover or contribute toward one child's registration and give that athlete access to an organized season, coaching and a place to play.
Build a Scholarship Fund
Create a scholarship fund that gives multiple athletes access to registration throughout a program or season, allowing us to use those funds where the need exists most.
Sponsor a Team
Fund enough registrations to place an entire group of young athletes on the court together and give them the opportunity to participate as a team.
Sponsors can be recognized for supporting youth access while the individual athletes and families receiving scholarship assistance remain private.
Give Your Employees' Families Another Reason to Get Off the Couch.
A sponsorship can also become something your own employees and their families directly benefit from.
A company may choose to fund a limited number of registrations each year, contribute toward registration costs or create a dedicated opportunity for employees' children to participate in one of our programs.
A business could sponsor individual registrations, subsidize participation for employee families or even fund enough registrations to bring a group of employees' children into a program together.
It gives employees something tangible, encourages active families and connects the company to the community in a way that goes beyond traditional advertising.
Put a Roof Over the Game.
Every practice, scrimmage, league and event needs somewhere to happen. Facility costs are one of the largest expenses involved in creating organized sports programs.
Sponsoring that space provides athletes with a consistent, organized place to learn, compete and keep coming back to the game.
Sponsor a Court
Cover court costs for a particular program, practice night, league, scrimmage or event.
Sponsor Gym Time
Fund the facility expense associated with an entire youth program, adult league or development group.
Open More Doors to Play
Facility sponsorship can make it possible to bring programming into additional gyms and communities instead of requiring every athlete to travel to the same location.
The Gym Gives Us a Place to Play.
Build What Happens Inside It.
Organized sports require more than court space. Equipment, knowledgeable coaches, uniforms, officials and program operations are what turn an empty gym into an actual sports experience.
Equipment
Balls, nets, carts, training equipment and other items used to operate practices, leagues and events.
Uniforms & Shirts
Offset player apparel costs while creating opportunities for appropriate sponsor recognition on program, league or team shirts.
Coaches
Invest in knowledgeable, experienced and paid coaches who can teach athletes the game and provide quality instruction.
Programs & Events
Support a league, camp, clinic, tournament, special event or other community sports opportunity.
Sponsor Off Yo Couch Sports.
Your partnership does not have to stop with one kid, one team or one season.
Organization-level partners can invest in Off Yo Couch Sports across programs, sports, locations and seasons.
These relationships can strengthen programming, scholarship opportunities, facilities, equipment, staffing, events and the continued development of new places for people to play.
This type of partnership is ideal for companies that want a continuing relationship with the organization and broader visibility within the communities we serve.
Make Your Partnership Visible.
Community impact and brand visibility do not have to be separate goals.
Depending on the partnership, your business can be recognized in meaningful ways throughout our programs, events and digital community.

Sponsor logos may be placed on team, league or event apparel when appropriate.

It Doesn't Have to Look Like a Traditional Sponsorship.
A restaurant may want to provide food for coaches during an event. A sporting goods company may want to provide equipment. A local employer may want to sponsor twenty youth registrations. Another business may simply want its name in front of the local sports community.
We welcome financial sponsorships, in-kind partnerships, employee-family programs, event support, product partnerships and ideas we may not have considered yet.
Here's How We Build the Partnership.
You bring the goal. We'll work with you to shape the sponsorship around it.
Tell Us Your Goal
Youth access, community impact, employee benefits, program support, brand visibility or a combination of several goals.
We Build the Partnership
We look at what you want to support, the length of the relationship and the visibility that makes sense for both organizations.
Put It Into Action
Together we determine how the sponsorship is used, how your business is recognized and what happens next.
Let's Build a Sponsorship That Means Something.
Tell us what matters to your organization and what you hope to accomplish. We'll build the conversation from there.
