Black Watch NY West Soccer is continually expanding and as such we have decided to move in a direction that will allow the incorporation of sponsorship within the club. As a club we are looking for a sponsor(s) that will be willing to finance certain aspects of club functions. In return, the sponsor(s) will be granted space on the Black Watch website, will be acknowledged on all media guides provided by Black Watch at tournaments/exhibitions, and will have the possibility to negotiate advertising space on club gear (bags, training tops etc) and the possibility of Black Watch jersey sponsorship.
Over the past few seasons we have seen substantial growth as a club and organization, from our small humble beginning of just one Black Watch team in our first year of operation, to the 11 exceptional teams currently in existence for 2012. From the start we have made it our mission to work tirelessly towards Black Watch’s common goal of providing each individual player the opportunity to develop their soccer talent and skill to the highest level possible.
As we continue to expand as a club and achieve on the field, we are looking to progressively push ourselves to the highest level attainable. Due to our continued success, we as a club have the opportunity to compete in the Super Y league of the United Soccer Leagues (USL), one of the most prestigious youth league competitions in the United States, this upcoming season. The USL is the feeder league to the MLS and operates all the major competitive leagues throughout the United States, Including the USL Pro, MISL, W league, PDL and Super 20’s. This is a tremendous chance to progress further as a club and provide successful teams the opportunity to compete against the best within our geographic region, providing tremendous exposure and experience.
As this is a huge step in the development of the club, their will, as can be expected, financial burdens to provide the necessary overheads that are associated with this expansion. It is the clubs prerogative to reach out within the local community to access club sponsor(s) that can help aid in providing the necessary financial support that will be required in this step forward.
