- No minimum, US-printed, sponsor sees the kit in about a week from sign-off.
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.
Why Local Businesses Sponsor Youth Soccer Club Jerseys
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.
Sponsor Logo Placement on Youth Soccer Jerseys
- Front chest (under or beside club crest). The premium placement. Most visible during play, in game-day photos, and on social media posts. Charges the highest sponsor fee, usually $1,000 to $1,500 per age group per season.
- Back upper shoulder (under collar). The classic team-jersey sponsor placement. Visible in goal celebrations, bench shots, and warmup huddles. Charges $750 to $1,000 per age group.
- Sleeve (one or both). Smaller print, lower fee, easy to fit two sponsors per jersey (one on each sleeve). Charges $300 to $600 per sleeve per age group.
- Back lower hem. Smaller and lower-cost placement for sponsors who want jersey presence but cannot pay premium rates. Charges $250 to $400.
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.

The club director sets up the sponsor template once per age group:
- Upload the club crest and the confirmed sponsor logo (or logos) at high resolution.
- Place the sponsor logo in the agreed location on the jersey mockup (front, back, sleeve).
- Set the retail price the way you set every other jersey: base cost plus the per-jersey margin you want.
- Publish the age-group page in the club store. Each family on that age group buys the sponsored jersey for their player at checkout.
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.
Sponsor Sign-Off and Print Quality
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.
Sponsor Revenue Math for Youth Soccer Clubs
| 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.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Can a youth soccer club print a sponsor logo on the front of the jersey?
Yes. The sponsor logo prints alongside or beneath the club crest on the front chest. Mockups go to the sponsor for approval before the template goes live in the club store.
How much do local businesses pay to sponsor a youth soccer club jersey?
Typical 2026 ranges run $1,000 to $1,500 for a front-chest sponsor, $750 to $1,000 for a back-shoulder sponsor, and $300 to $600 per sleeve. Tiered packages let clubs sell to four or more sponsors per age group.
Does the club have to bulk-buy sponsored jerseys upfront?
No. Each family on the sponsored age group buys their own jersey from the club store at checkout. The sponsorship fee goes straight to the club. No inventory is held.
Can we change sponsor logos between seasons?
Yes. The club director updates the jersey template at the start of each new season and the next round of orders carries the new sponsor logo. Held inventory is never an issue because no inventory exists.
