Youth soccer club sponsorship apparel runs on the same Bear Grips Pro Shops store the club already uses for the match kit. Add a local-business sponsor logo on the front, back, or sleeve of the jersey, set the sponsor package price at $500 to $1,500 (depending on placement and visibility), and the sponsorship covers the season cost of that age group’s kit. Each player still buys their own jersey from the store. No minimums, no inventory, no separate vendor.
The local pizza place, the orthodontist, the family dentist, the auto-body shop, and the regional credit union all already spend marketing budget in the neighborhood. A youth soccer sponsorship turns 15 to 30 players into walking billboards twice a week at games, practices, the school drop-off line, and the weekend tournament an hour away.
For the sponsor, the math is simple: $500 to $1,500 for visibility across 20 families and several hundred game-day spectators all season. For the club, that sponsorship dollar covers the cost of the kit and leaves the per-jersey margin from the store as pure season revenue. Win on both sides.
Most clubs run a tiered sponsorship menu: one front-chest sponsor (premium), one back-shoulder sponsor (second tier), and two sleeve sponsors (entry tier). Together that funds the kit for an entire age group with margin to spare.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.The club director sets up the sponsor template once per age group:
If sponsors change between seasons, the director updates the template at the start of the new season and the next round of jerseys carries the new sponsor logo. No re-printing of held inventory, because no inventory is held.
Most sponsors want to approve a digital mockup before the season starts. Pro Shops generates a clean front-and-back mockup of the jersey with the sponsor logo placed in the agreed spot. The club director sends the mockup to the sponsor for sign-off, the sponsor approves over email, and the template goes live in the store.
Sponsor logos print at the same DTG or DTF quality as the club crest and player name and number. Logos hold up through a full season of wash cycles. We handle the entire print process at our US partner facilities.
| Age Group Size | Sponsor Tier | Sponsorship Fee | Net Club Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 players | Front chest (1) | $1,500 | ~$1,200 after kit cost offset |
| 20 players | Back shoulder (1) | $1,000 | ~$800 net |
| 20 players | Sleeve x2 | $1,000 ($500 each) | ~$800 net |
| 20 players (all tiers) | 4 sponsors total | $3,500 | ~$2,800 net per age group |
For a club with 6 age groups all running tiered sponsorships, that is $16,800 to $18,000 of net sponsorship revenue per season on top of the per-jersey margin from family purchases at the club store. The sponsor logos cost zero additional print fees because the artwork is set once per age group.
