Free kit offers for childrens team?

Options
Hello

I am a manager of a small community team currantly under 10's.
We have very kindly been sponsered for our match day kit by one of the parents, but i am struggling to find a sponsership for our training kits or a tracksuit for the team to turn out in.
I have been told there are some free kit support from the premier league, mcdonalds and sky sports ect, but am finding it difficult to find any currant information.
The only one i can find is the mcdonalds thing, but we do not qualify.

Any help or support greatfully recieved

Thank you all.

    A few years ago we had this issue, and approached a few local companies with the same corporate colours as our team's kit, and one was happy to pay for kit if it was clearly printed with their company name and logo. I notice you're after training kits or tracksuits though not match day kits, so may not be so successful.

    Can't you just get the kids to turn up to training in their own tracksuits? Or do a weekly football scratch card game/tote with the parents to raise funds for it? Personally, I wouldn't be happy to donate for something as trivial as this when there are charities and organisations bidding for donations to support people in much greater need. Of course you may have more luck if the team is for kids with additional needs or from a particularly deprived area.

    Is there a local Mason's Lodge or Roundtable you can ask?

    Agree with others that you should contact local businesses or organisations as they are more likely to donate to small local clubs.
    Sometimes these promotions from national companies are more hassle than they are worth.
    Check if any parents work for a local company, or are members of any local organisations and see if they will ask the question for you in advance, then you can write an official letter or email.
