Individual Sponsorship Each team from under 7 s to seniors have equipment, team apparel and support needs. From time to time a parent, coach, family member or organization would like to support a team by purchasing equipment or assisting with time. This is equally important to our club and any offers of support would be greatly appreciated. In previous years companies have donated team water bottles with their company logo on - these gestures add up to a lot of support for these teams.
