DYNAMO GIRLS FOOTBALL CLUB
Dynamo Girls Football Club, based in Telscombe Cliffs, East Sussex, was founded in 2003 by Ruth Watson, who had run up against the trouble of having her daughter not being able to play in a boys' team when she reached a certain age. So Dynamos was formed - and since the early days when only a few girls turned up, the club now has around sixty girls across four age groups - u10, u11,u12,u13. With the 2005/2006 season by far being the most successful, the club is moving forward and has many plans for development, including facilities for a club house and changing rooms, etc. So the Dynamos are looking for sponsorship support. In the main this would be for supplying the girls with their own kit. At present they have a Nike kit, but this is being withdrawn by Nike at the end of the season. The club would like the girls to turn out in a kit they can be proud of, with a company logo, etc. and so are looking for sponsorship of £250-£350 for team kit/training kit in return for the inclusion of the sponsoring business's name on the team's shirts, their company name on the club's website, invitations to events, a photo of the team in the kit for the sponsor's offices and promotion of the sponsor's company at tournaments, events, etc. In April 2007, the club is holding the very first Dynamo Festival of Football. Any help would be much appreciated. Contact: Alan Burr, Fundraising Officer. Address: 31 Hurdis Road, Bishopstone, Seaford, East Sussex BN25 2SP. Tel.: 07961 805801. E-mail: aa.burr@ukonline.co.uk

footballcv.com LTD.
footballcv.com started life as a website for 'would be' young footballers who wanted a trial with a football club to show them their ability, but, having written dozens of letters to clubs, seldom got a reply. As the organisers all worked in the football industry, and during this period had made many good contacts, they decided to start a business they would enjoy, both through helping youngsters achieve their aims, and from working in an environment they enjoyed. As the business expanded they went a step further and started their own trials. Most recently they held trials at Leeds United FC, Charlton Athletic FC and Coventry City FC, dividing the players into age groups. In addition they sent invitations to all the managers and scouts of Premier League, Football League and non-League clubs for them to come along and view the players. They have held further trials at Northampton Town FC, Tranmere Rovers FC, Swindon Town FC, Gateshead International Stadium, Falkirk FC and many non-league grounds. There have been many 'success stories' from these trials - these can be viewed at www.footballcv.com, the organisation's website, which shows that there are up to 2,000 registered members, with the number increasing every year. Website trend for last 3 months  •  Average monthly visitors: 19,325   •  Average daily visitors: 630  •  Average monthly page views: 100,174  •  Average daily page views: 3,266  •  Average time per visit: 445 secs. Recent developments include working with Manchester United FC where footballcv.com will be running an exclusive Trials Day for 6-9 year olds for the Premiership club. Now they know that they have an idea that works they are looking for a Main Sponsor. They have a vested interest to ensure the programme works. The market is footballers from the age of six to those in their late twenties. With 1,700 members registered they would be able to send out mailings and introductory offers. There are also several thousand potential members who register their details on the website before completing their registration. For the Main Sponsor there would be a banner on all pages of the website with links to the sponsor company's website and of course they could promote the sponsor using their extensive database. The sponsor's name/logo would appear on all Trials Day programmes and other publicity material. They have just purchased an entire range of new kit. The sponsoring company could appear on all the players' shirts and on the kit worn by the staff on the day. footballcv.com point out that local radio and TV usually come along to the Trials. They have twice featured on SKY Sports, on GMTV, BBC Radio and TalkSport, as well as appearing in several publications such as Match magazine, 4-4-2 and The Non-League Newspaper. footballcv.com takes regular advertisements in the football magazines and the national and local press. If their proposal is of any interest they would be pleased to meet with any potential sponsor to discuss the possibilities. Contact: Graham Starmer, Director.

LINCOLNSHIRE SOCCER SCHOOL
Lincolnshire Soccer School was first established in 1998 by an ex-professional footballer called Tommy Watson. The school was founded to bring football training to boys and girls in the Lincolnshire area. Today the school has become one of only a handful of football schools that have achieved Football Association Chartered Standard Community Club status. It has produced over sixteen football teams of all ages, from under 8s to an adult side who at the time of writing are third in the Central Midlands League and battling for promotion. The football school is also trying to develop its own football clubhouse, as well as its own pitches - and is now looking for a whole sponsorship deal to promote this. It is estimated that this would require a sponsorship deal of £15,000. The school also takes pride in providing F.A. Qualified Coaches, who visit all local schools to bring football into the community, letting schoolchildren of all ages enjoy an after school activity, assisting with confidence and attitude. It's clear that the organisation has so far managed to develop into a very successful football school and club, with football teams playing in several different leagues in the Lincolnshire and Midlands area. However, for the school and club to continue to grow, it needs some help. Contact: Stuart Catmull. Address: 34 Asgard Way, Scartho Top, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire DN33 3RJ. Tel.: 01472 232590.

SPORT LOCAL is looking for sponsors who would be interested in backing either individual sports or events across a wide sphere. The opportunity to brand the sponsor positively opens many doors and will allow SPORT LOCAL to benefit small, medium and large clubs across the country. "Sponsoring the sports pages is a proven cost effective and highly visible strategic marketing tool", say SPORT LOCAL. "It is one of the most powerful ways to reinforce your corporate image allowing you to promote your company's name, logo, products or services to a wide but targeted audience, whilst strengthening your links with the community. Many businesses use the online presence of links and email newsletters and promotions to their advantage in the modern e-world in which we operate. Don't overlook sport as a potential partner in delivering good community links as clubs of all sizes and disciplines across the UK are developing creative, high quality and mutually beneficial partnerships with the private sector.
