After thinking about the sponsors of the USA Gymnastics team, I started to think about the positive aspects of having sponsors would be, even for a small-town gymnastics team like Zero Gravity.
A problem that the Zero Gravity Gymnastics team is currently having is the mats are getting old and over-used because of all of the other progressive gymnastics classes that use the gym as well. If they had sponsors, then they would be able to purchase new mats and equipment. Each team member also has to purchase her own leotard, and they only have one to wear for the whole season. A possibility for a sponsor in Tiffin would be Viewpoint or Rush Graphics. These places could sponsor leotards and other apparel for the team, such as bags, in exchange for publicity for the businesses. When the team travels to a meet, each member is responsible for getting to the venue on her own. A potential sponsor could be a car dealership in Tiffin who can donate vans for the day for the girls to travel to the meets together.
It is important to think locally when brainstorming potential sponsors for the gymnastics team. Because Tiffin is a small town, there are many privately owned businesses with ties to the town and will be more likely to sponsor Zero Gravity.
I found a Web Site called Sponsor Park that can be used to search for sponsorship opportunities. It's an interesting site with a great concept.
