Do u no hoo sponsors junior players? i no sck do

gramw · « **Reply #1 on:** August 22, 2008, 07:56:20 PM »

pretty much EVERY company will sponser junior players

You have to be pretty good for the sponsorship to be of any particular advantage. Most people will get a package and say, "I got this for a fiver cheaper than it should be, so I'm sponsored", when they're not.

Not every company will sponsor juniors, for them to do that you have to play a high standard and have real potential. However most companies will offer you discount.

yeh mate! but i play for scotland under 15s

You have to be really good to be sponsored as if you just play league cricket you can probably get discount off smaller companies. Then if you play for a county you can get discount off big brands, but you have to be something special to get full sponsorship off any company.

Salix won't give you that much off, nor will it work out that good value. If you want to know ask the company, not us. You won't get anywhere without doing so, plus you just have to copy the same email to loads of companies. I did and got several replies within a day, and I don't even play county, only 1st team.

Can't remember who it was (and no it wasn't because I was asking for sponsorship) but one brand owner told me he tends to give better deals to people who don't look like they've copied and pasted the same email to every brand.
Also sorry mate but I dont think you will get 50% off Salix when you play disctrict u13.

Fine then, edit it if you're desperate or really want it from that one company, but if you're just looking for the best deal, there's no point.

Except that Salix, i know for sure, reserve their better willow for sponsored players.

I have a load of Jnr cricketers emailing me, it's clear some just edit the company names and send a load out as they often change one line to Itias but there's another part which is still Salix.

They also moan when I only offer the percentage I do, often claiming other companies give them 50% or whatever which annoys me a tad. Can they not see that the prices I offer already are heavily discounted compared to other brands. Perhaps I should just have a bat priced at RRP �300 which I only sell to sponsored players at a 50% discount.

well said tom, why would i want to sponsor a 12 yo who has played 1 mens game in the 3rds and his highest score is 20*? you get some emails they can't even spell your companies name right! How do you know that as soon as you give a player talented 15 yo 50% off that as soon as they get your kit they don't rip the stickers off and then sell you kit to there mates? most also mention that they were sonsored by companies and they gave them 50% off or 35% off , why tell me that ,hang on i'll offer you the same deal! sponsorship is a very grey area .......
