SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Supporting non-profit communities feels good, but also has REAL MARKETING VALUE. We host thousands of youth soccer players and their families as well as adult soccer players at the park every week. Please reach out to the President of BuildSoccer to discuss a sponsorship agreement or a charitable contribution!

BASE LEVEL SPONSOR
- Field Sponsor $5,000 (plus cost of signage), two year term with flag pole signage and 4 social media callouts per year
- Bleacher Sponsor $1,000 (plus cost of signage), two year term with signage on back side of highly visible bleachers
GAME DAY SPONSOR
We now have two fantastic fields side by side that still need lighting. This is an opportunity to sponsor two premier game day fields.
The cost to install Musco lighting is nearly $200,000. Can you help light up lives of thousands of youth soccer players?
NAME THE PARK
We are seeking a million dollar partner that can provide a large donation to help finish what we started. We have the fields, but there is more build out to make this a quality soccer park for players and families to enjoy. The donor name will be featured in a grand entrance sign as well as throughout the park and on every soccer schedule and club website. If you or your company is a donor that shares similar values that we can name the entire soccer park after for the next ten years we want to connect!

Why Marbridge?
The cornerstone of Build Soccer is to provide opportunities for all people to participate in soccer. The residents at Marbridge will be an integral part of the Soccer Park at Marbridge, both through a future Special Olympics soccer program and through internships, paid working opportunities and more.
The residents at Marbridge already have a special relationship with the kids who play soccer at Marbridge. The residents often come cheer on the teams as they play and high-five the kids as they leave the field. The kids volunteer at Marbridge events, make cards for the residents and love seeing them around campus. We hope to deepen these relationships with long-term collaboration and community building.
Location. Location. Location.
A convenient location for families throughout South Austin and beyond. Between San Marcos and Round Rock there are no youth soccer parks. In fact, the closest lighted soccer parks to South Austin families are on average 45 minutes away.
The Soccer Park at Marbridge will be under 10 miles from major subdivisions such as Circle C Ranch, Meridian, Belterra, Shady Hollow, Bear Creek, Leisurewoods, Plum Creek and many more in Buda/ Kyle.
With the new 45 Toll Road opening in 2019, this park provides easy access to soccer for thousands of families.

Soccer is the number one sport in the world
And it is growing in Central Texas.
Youth Soccer Is A Very Large Community
BuildSoccer is now a proud member of Capital Area Youth Soccer Association (CAYSA) which has members that reside within the Capitol area. CAYSA represents local soccer programs in the South Texas Youth Soccer Association (STYSA) which is an affiliate of United States Youth Soccer (USYS), the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and Federation International de Futbol Association (FIFA). STYSA is comprised of 29 Member Associations. They have been offering youth soccer programs since 1964. They have a current registration base of 102,000 youth soccer players. There are about 12 different league levels so players have opportunities to compete in appropriate skill levels. In the higher level leagues teams from all over the state of Texas travel to other cities to play league games.
Adults Still Play Soccer
Austin is home to Austin Mens Soccer Association (AMSA) which has over 3,000 registered players and more than 130 teams. The Austin Women's Soccer League has 360 registered players.
