Sponsorship
How sponsorship supports the club:
Sponsorship plays a vital role in supporting everything we do at Mini Sports Stars. Contributions go directly towards providing high-quality match kits and training kits for our players, as well as helping to cover essential costs such as equipment, pitch hire, and tournament fees. With over 200 players across our programmes, sponsorship has a wide and meaningful impact on children and families throughout our community.
We are ideally looking for a lead sponsor who can support the cost of supplying playing and training kits for all Mini Sports Stars players, ensuring every child feels part of the team and takes pride in representing the club. Alongside this, we also offer flexible sponsorship opportunities for businesses who would like to get involved at different levels.
By partnering with Mini Sports Stars, sponsors gain visibility across a thriving local community while directly supporting over 200 children in accessing football in a positive, inclusive environment.
What sponsors get in return:
When you sponsor Mini Sports Stars, your brand becomes part of a thriving and highly visible community. Your logo or business name will be featured across 200+ players’ match kits and training kits — over 400 kits in total — as well as on our website, social media channels, and on banners and signage at home games.
Your brand visibility extends beyond South London too. Our teams regularly play away fixtures in different areas and attend summer tournaments, giving your business exposure to a wider audience across multiple communities.
We also actively promote our sponsors online, including dedicated announcement posts and shoutouts when a new partnership begins, helping to showcase your business to our growing network of families and supporters.
Our credentials
Mini Sports Stars has been proudly running since 2014, with the football club established in 2018 to provide a clear pathway into team football. Since then, hundreds of children have come through our programme, with over 200 players currently part of the club each week.
Our coaching team is fully qualified and committed to the highest standards of safety and development. All coaches are DBS checked, first aid trained, safeguarding certified, and hold a minimum Level 1 coaching qualification, ensuring every child is in safe and capable hands.
We’re proud to have been recognised for both our coaching and community impact. Founder George Pannell was awarded Sports Active Hero for Merton in 2019, and Mini Sports Stars received an award in 2023 for creating a positive environment within the community. More recently, the club was recognised with a Sportsmanship of the Season award for the 2024/2025 season.
To further demonstrate our commitment to quality, we are a FA-accredited one-star football club affiliated with Surrey FA, reflecting the standards and structure we uphold across all areas of the club.
