My
name is James Brunner, President of United Sports International,
Inc.. We are the parent company to the USL Premier Development
League soccer franchise the Lancaster Rattlers. I am writing
you today to talk about corporate sponsorship and advertising
opportunities available through partnering with the Lancaster
Rattlers. Corporate sponsorship of sports organizations such
as ours, works to provide opportunities for young players to
develop and showcase their talents in
a professional setting, as well as opening previously untapped markets
to our corporate sponsors and their products. Product recognition
grows exponentially when it accompanies the name of a local sports
team.
I’d
like to tell you a little about what your sponsorship
dollars allow us to do. We, as a United Soccer League/
Premier Development League, help to develop players
for professional careers. The USL PDL allows players
primarily under 23 years of age to perform in a professionalized
setting while maintaining their college eligibility.
The league brings together the top recent and current
college athletes, elite high school players and savvy
veterans, producing an environment that is ideal for
player development. By operating during the summer
months, the system allows college players the ability
to retain their amateur status while staying on top
of their game during an otherwise soccer-void period.
In
addition to player development, the USL PDL gives college
programs an additional resource for identifying and
recruiting talented players. active involvement with
USL PDL teams can help colleges recruit the nations
elite high school players - who are often a part of
USL PDL squads - by building awareness among the athletes
and coaches. Besides providing players with experience
in a professionalized setting, the USL PDL also provides
players with a valuable networking opportunity for
furthering their careers following graduation.
Our
sponsors and advertisers are seen by the community
as important to creating an opportunity for local talent
to excel.The community appreciates the investment sponsors
make and in return support the products an services
they provide.
The
market area of the Antelope Valley is somewhat of a
bedroom community 60 miles north of Los Angeles. The
overall population is 437,000 people most of whom work in LA and
its outlying areas, some 40+ miles away. Having been a resident here
for over 15 years I know our community longs for sports entertainment
here in the neighborhood.To date we have one minor league baseball
team in an area that is dominated by soccer fans, as evidenced by
the 10,000 plus youth and club team players that cycle through the
Lancaster National Soccer Center every year. This, by the way, is
the largest soccer
complex west of the Mississippi for that reason.
The
racial demographic is approximately 60% White-30% Hispanic-10% Black/African-American,
The average age is 32, the gender differential is 51% male to 49%
female, the average family household income is $66,032, the projected
rate of growth for the next five years is 8.98% growing in ten years
to 580,291 persons. This area is more populated than many major cities
across the country.
Some
of the benefits your corporate sponsorship with the
Lancaster Rattlers USL PDL Soccer Franchise provides
are, positive exposure to this fast growing consumer
oriented community and the satisfaction derived from
giving our young athletes a chance to achieve the ultimate
goal, a professional career. Included in our sponsor
packages are:
Visual brand identification and link
on our team web site and radio mention during home game
broadcast in English and Spanish.
