Parents like to see the companies that are supporting local sports. 3 Keeps cost low With lower fees, more families are able to afford to sign up and that means more children being able to receive the many benefits of sports. 4 Outstanding value When comparing the cost of other marketing outlets like print, television and billboard advertising, youth sports sponsorships can be a great value. 5 Build goodwill Companies that sponsor youth sports programs make a positive contribution to their community. Overall this can evoke a community wide feeling that a company understands the impact and importance of sports for their youth. 6 Possible tax incentive Many youth sports organizations are registered nonprofit groups.
