 Thank you for taking the time to consider advertising or sponsorship with the Las Vegas Strikers Soccer Organization. The Strikers, now in its third year of competition, is extremely excited as we enter the upcoming season. This will be an eventful year, filled with many league and special exhibition matches. The staff and players involved with this organization look forward to serving your needs.
Soccer represents the fastest growing sport in the United States and the most popular sport in the world. In the United States, the soccer market has never been stronger and interest in the sport continues to grow. It is particularly encouraging to see a sharp increase in the number of 12-17 year old players as this indicates more players are staying in the game longer. These are players that will go on to be fans, referees, coaches, adult volunteers, and players in the future.
As a corporate sponsorship opportunity, the Strikers represent a new player in town. Professional level soccer, specifically with the Strikers, creates a unique opportunity for local and national corporations to not only be involved on the ground floor of a potential NPSL champion, but to target and reach the youth-oriented, fast growing soccer market – and their parents.
Our intent, as a marketing partner, is to provide only professional, thorough, and timely representation, developing sponsorship opportunities, and marketing them to the Las Vegas valley – and the national/regional business community. While the players will make the Strikers a winner on the field, our merging of marketing philosophies will make the Strikers and your organization a winner in the community. Association with this organization will serve to heighten your reputation as a company that is dedicated to the promotion of local development. We invite you to tap into this unique marketing and visibility opportunity by becoming a Strikers Club Sponsor! Request a copy of our Marketing Guide
