Grassroots football thrives when a community stands behind it. At Raglan JFC, that sense of community is at the heart of everything we do—from the volunteers who give their time, to the families who cheer from the sidelines, to the local businesses who choose to invest in our young players.
Right now, we’re inviting more local companies to join us as sponsors, not just to support the club, but to help keep football accessible and affordable for every child who wants to play.
⚽ A Club Built on Community Values
Raglan JFC is entirely volunteer‑run. Every coach, committee member, and helper gives their time freely because they believe in what football can do for young people—confidence, teamwork, resilience, friendships, and a sense of belonging.
We work hard to keep our membership fees as low as possible so that cost is never a barrier to participation. But with rising prices for equipment, kit, facilities, and league requirements, sponsorship plays a vital role in making that possible.
💼 How Sponsorship Helps Keep Fees Low
When a business sponsors a team, a pitch, or part of our annual tournament, it directly reduces the financial pressure on families. Sponsorship income goes 100% back into the club—not into admin, not into overheads, but straight into:
- Match kits and training wear
- Equipment such as balls, cones, goals, and bibs
- Facility improvements and maintenance
- Safeguarding, coaching qualifications, and player development
- Tournament costs and community events
Every pound a business contributes is a pound we don’t have to ask from parents. That’s how we keep fees low, inclusive, and fair.
🏆 What Businesses Gain in Return
Sponsoring Raglan JFC isn’t just an act of goodwill—it’s a smart investment in visibility, reputation, and community connection.
Depending on the sponsorship option, businesses can benefit from:
- Brand exposure on match kits, training tops, pitch boards, and signage
- Promotion through local press, social media, and tournament announcements
- Visibility to hundreds of families each week and thousands of visitors during our annual tournament
- Association with positive community values—youth development, inclusion, health, and teamwork
- A long-term presence at one of the most active community hubs in Raglan
For many businesses, it’s one of the most cost‑effective and meaningful ways to advertise locally.
🌱 Sponsorship Helps Us Grow—And Helps the Community Grow With Us
Raglan JFC is expanding. We’re building more girls’ teams, strengthening our women and men pathways, and working toward more inclusive opportunities for players with disabilities.
To do this sustainably—and without increasing fees—we rely on the support of local businesses who believe in what sport can do for young people.
When companies sponsor us, they’re not just funding kit or equipment. They’re investing in:
- Health and wellbeing
- Youth opportunity
- Community pride
- A thriving local sports culture
It’s a partnership that benefits everyone.
