Sponsorship Information
Dear Erie Business Leader: The Erie Youth Soccer Association (EYSA) Board of Directors is currently beginning preparation for another season providing a summer youth soccer program for the greater Erie area. The EYSA program promotes an atmosphere that is non-competitive, fun and educational in nature. Participants learn the value of TEAMWORK, FAIRNESS, SPORTSMANSHIP and LEADERSHIP. The educational process applies to players, referees and coaches. In the typical season we have over 2500 participants ranging in age from 4 to 16, on over 200 teams in eleven areas throughout Erie and Erie County. Teams practice during the month of May and play games during the months of June and July. Please take a look at the organization’s website at www.erieyouthsoccer.org for more information and insight concerning our mission. The EYSA Board of Directors is asking for your support. Your team or league sponsorship allows us to continue to provide an affordable summer soccer program for families in the Erie area. Additionally, your business will be recognized for its support of the program through team shirts (with your business name), team photos, listing on the EYSA website, and inclusion in various advertising promoting EYSA throughout the community. The enclosed sponsorship agreement form describes the single, multi-team and league sponsorship opportunities available to you for the upcoming season. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the EYSA office, by phone at 835-2185 or via e-mail at:
