Club Sponsorship Program
ABOUT US
Ottawa South United Soccer Club is a Non-Profit community based soccer club providing soccer programs year round to approximately 6,000 youth and adult players, participating in our Developmental, Recreational, and Force Academy programs.
WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Your support helps children become successful in developing their soccer skills but more importantly, helping them learn teamwork, hard work, and sportsmanship.
It also allows us to improve our soccer programs and facilities, provide scholarships for worthy players and offset the cost of participation.
Sponsors play a key role in helping our club reduce player fees by sponsoring individual teams and / or divisions. OSU soccer is able to provide sponsors with significant opportunities for exposure within the community, through a variety of mechanisms including digital, print and uniform sponsorship.
OSU is fortunate to have many great corporate and community partners that help players, coaches, and our entire soccer family. Although the club is run by volunteers and is a not-for-profit organization we have many operating expenses. Your sponsorship helps us keep our registration fees affordable by helping to defray the cost of:
- Team uniforms and equipment
- Field rental and maintenance fees
- Referees
- Support our "Help the Kids Play Fund"
Many businesses support community soccer through their employees. Please ask your employer on our behalf so that we do not miss these opportunities.
BENEFITS OF SPONSORING OSU SOCCER
Some of the benefits of sponsorship for businesses are exposure to a broad customer base, company and product exposure, and showing community support. As a sponsor your logo will be included on our website, mentioned in media releases, and many other benefits.
Sponsorship provides your company the opportunity to:
- Build Brand Awareness
- Showcase Products and Services
- increase customer loyalty
- increase sales

- Help Us provide soccer programs to the kids in our community
