Commonwealth Games Sponsorship
In January 2006 the Scottish Women's Water Polo Team will represent their country
for the first time in the Commonwealth Tournament in Perth Australia.
We would like to offer you the opportunity to get involved with this exciting sport and assist us
as we strive to achieve a good performance in the competition and to represent our country with pride.
As a minority sport we have very little funding to finance training and competitions. Getting to the
Commonwealth Tournament is itself a huge achievement for us and testament to the amount of commitment,
time and personal funds we put in to play the sport we love.
The Commonwealth Tournament is another trip that we will have to self-fund. Costs include flights,
accommodation, food and, of course, kit to travel, train and play in.
We would like to work with you for the benefit of both parties. For us, any financial sponsorship
would help us achieve our ambition of representing Scotland on the International stage. We will
also work with you in any way which you feel will promote your support and involvement. This includes
press releases, interviews, logos on our kit, links and articles on our Scottish Swimming Website
and articles in our Scottish Swimming Magazine.
Particularly in the light of the successful 2012 London Olympic Games bid, now is an ideal time
for promotion of water polo within Scotland. We want to ensure that Scotland is represented in the
Great Britain Water Polo Team and the Commonwealth Tournament in 2006 is a necessary stepping stone
to do this. It will enable current players to gain the necessary international experience, encourage
younger players to train to a higher standard and achieve better results and increase the profile of
the sport within Scotland. This will encourage the participation and volunteers required to drive the
sport forward.
Now is a very exciting time to be involved in sport and I hope you will consider the opportunity
to sponsor the Scottish Women's Water Polo Team.
