Sponsorship Opportunities

There are a number of opportunities related to possible sponsorship within the sport of artistic roller-skating providing a sponsor a choice of commitment to suit the sum of money or services to be provided.

Skater Sponsorship

It is possible to sponsor a skater(s) [or a pair in the event of a dance couple by contributing to their equipment and clothing costs, training costs, travel costs, or special conditioning and overseas training.

The skater(s) in return will undertake to mention the sponsorship, can wear a limited size of motive or badge on their clothing recognising the sponsor, be available for publicity purposes [within reason] arranged by the sponsor

Event(s) Sponsorship There are a number of National Championships that are available for sponsorship. The sponsor can take "title name" of the event, which would be used in all media contact and announcements. All rink side advertising would major on the sponsor’s name together with programme advertising. Under this type of support all media connections and photo calls would carry the sponsor’s name. Provision for hospitality accommodation at an agreed standard would be provided. There are International events that could be held in the U.K. available within this category.
Special Sponsorship There are times when a specific Gala event might be organised with a choice of skaters both of National and International standing. Such events are custom arranged, usually in conjunction with the sponsor’s agent. There is considerable value is this type of event as the show can be totally biased to a product or service. The sponsor usually combines such an event with a hospitality feature in which the skaters can participate.
Team Sponsorship Throughout the skating year British teams of skaters travel Europe and the World to compete in international events. Such teams require assistance with travel arrangements, travel costs, equipment costs, uniform costs and general welfare facilities. Under this heading it is possible for a team to carry within their uniform or training outfits the name of a sponsor. A very limited display cover during the competition performance is also available. All press releases associated with the team and any media contact would include references to a sponsor. It should be noted that a number of the World and European events are covered by overseas TV.
Venue Sponsorship The cost of providing a facility to hold skating events can sometimes be a matter of considerable expense. It possible to recognise the provision of a facility by a company or local council by indicating on all announcements and media contact that the facilities have been kindly provided for the purpose of the event.
Club or Skating School Sponsorship In order to safeguard the status of the skater(s) and ensure skaters are not exploited; FARS must approve this type of sponsorship. It revolves around the Club or Skating School being fully or part sponsored by an individual, company or association. Under this type of support the matter is between the sponsor and the Club or School. However, the Federation is available to give advice as to the standard of skating involved within the organisation and confirmation of recent results home and abroad of the respective Club, or School
