Overview of Sponsorship Opportunities for YSA Sports
Tournaments
The main incentive of our participating sponsors is direct awareness and exposure to our targeted group
of players. This is a great way to gain and maintain brand visibility, strengthen your brand image within
your target market and develop new business among our sports participants.
Yorkville Sports Association offers multiple tournaments throughout the year and our commitment to our
players and community is a priority. YSA gives individuals throughout the tri-state area an outlet to
release daily tensions, develop team spirit and increase morale while staying fit.
In the past 5 years, we have turned our tournaments into special events fundraisers for local not-for-profit
organizations. The organizations that benefit are listed on previous page and are located in the towns
where the tournaments are being held, in order to support the communities.
