Hotline’s Sporting Saga: Passion, Unity, and the Winning Charm of Sponsorship!

At Hotline, we live and breathe grassroots sports! We firmly believe that sports are more than just games—they’re a vital ingredient in shaping children’s lives, instilling crucial life skills for their future. When kids step into the world of sports, they’re not just joining a team; they’re becoming part of a second family, and there’s something magical about donning the same uniform that strengthens that camaraderie. At Hotline, we find pure joy in backing various sports teams, whether it’s football, handball, swimming, or karate! This week, our Spotlight on Series puts the spotlight on an Under 7’s football team from Sway. Let’s dive into the excitement with our three key questions!

Q1: Dish the Details: Tell us about your team!

Get ready to meet the fabulous team at Sway Junior Football Club! We’ve been kicking it since 1988, with a mission to get local kids actively involved in football, following our Club Charter.

We’re all about offering football fun for everyone, from U7 up to U16, welcoming players of all skill levels. What makes us stand out is our friendly and inclusive vibe, representing both girls’ and boys’ teams across various age groups.

Now, let’s shine the spotlight on the real stars—the U7’s! These incredible youngsters train hard every Saturday and dive into competitive matches every Sunday. With the unwavering support of some fantastic coaches and parents, football isn’t just a game for us; it’s our passion!

Q2: What sparked your quest for sponsorship, and how do you envision it benefiting your team?

Our journey to seek sponsorship was sparked by the ever-increasing cost of living impacting everyone’s lifestyle. For kids in extracurricular sports, parents face expenses like match fees, administration costs, and kits, making participation challenging for some children. Seeking sponsorship is our way of overcoming this challenge and making everything more inclusive.

There’s truly nothing like stepping onto the pitch as a team in a brand-new kit. It instantly boosts team morale and gives you a sense of victory even before the game begins. Wearing the same kit fosters a strong sense of belonging.  Something every child should experience both on and off the pitch!

Q3: How did our partnership with Hotline come about, and why are we the perfect match for your Team Essentials?

Hotline, the local promotional merchandise company, stole our hearts with its proximity to our playing grounds. Discovering the football link with the original Managing Director, Mike Galpin, who played for AFC Bournemouth, felt like a connection with a fellow football enthusiast! Our introduction to Hotline wasn’t just through social media; positive word of mouth had us buzzing with excitement.

When we approached Hotline, we were met with genuine friendliness and a sincere interest in supporting children playing sports at the grassroots level. Connecting with such a community-focused company has been an absolute delight!
