Our Reach •
Digital marketing – Website placement, social media promotion, and newsletter advertising
We have well over 2,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter. Our newsletter is distributed to all members and posted on our website resulting in thousands of potential advertising or story views. •
Field signage – Fence signs, lamppost banners, concession stand signage, field number signs, or netting banners at our various locations.
Field signage has the potential to reach tens of thousands of individuals over the course of the year. In addition to our club members attending regular training sessions; away teams, 3v3 tournament competitors, and other park visitors unrelated to our soccer activity see these signs. Exposure is greatest at our home field of Viera Regional Park, but satellite locations also experience significant traffic over the course of the year. •
Jerseys – Logo placement on recreation or competition jerseys.
Jersey exposure is even greater than field signage as your logo will be seen by a larger market when teams participate in away league games and tournaments throughout the state of Florida and the southeastern United States. •
T-shirts – Logo placement on t-shirts for camps, training, tournaments, or special events.
T-shirts are a great way for your company to be seen throughout our community. Not only do the players where these during the event, they continue to wear them at school and around town for several more years. •
Creative Ideas - Companies with unique ideas are welcome to make special requests to meet their needs.
You may have a promotional item you would like us to distribute to our members or brand our concession stand supplies. If you have an idea, we’re happy to see if it is a good fit for our organization.

Become an Official Club Sponsor Contact Ann Fuller, President of the Board of Directors, at [email protected] or 321-795-3672 with your interest. For sponsorships larger than $1000, we will customize a proposal specifically designed for your company. Ann will work with you to determine which marketing benefits will be of greatest value to your organization based upon your budget and business needs. For example, a sponsor wishing to support our mission with a $3,000 investment may be interested in fence and netting signage at several field locations as well as spring camp t-shirts. A sponsor investing $5,500 may like to see their logo on lamppost signs lining Viera Regional Park’s walkways. A sponsor investing $10,000 may prefer to see their logo on concession stand supplies, concession stand signage, and field number signage. A sponsor with business locations extending outside of Brevard County investing $15,000 might prefer their logo on our competitive training jerseys rather than park signage. A member of our staff or board is always available to arrange a meeting at any of our field locations if you would like to gain a better sense of signage potential. Your generosity is accepted with deep gratitude. Thank you for supporting Space Coast United Soccer Club and helping us ensure our community’s children have a fun and safe soccer experience!
