SPONSORSHIP

Run entirely by volunteers East Coast Bays Softball has a proud 45 year+ club history. We are passionate about creating an environment where players enjoy participating in our great game and where they can achieve higher honours if they desire.


Softball is a great summer sport played between October and March. All our games are played at the world class softball facility at Rosedale Park, Albany under North Harbour Softball Association which has over 9 softball clubs within its association. With 18 Diamonds available there are several games being played at any one time, creating an exciting atmosphere with hundreds of people at the ground to play, support or officiate.


In our 2021/22 season East Coast Bays Softball had 12 junior teams with over 130 players and 5 senior teams with over 80 players and is the only club within North Harbour to have three senior women’s teams. 


We are looking to welcome another two senior teams in our upcoming 2022/23 season. 


Our committee look at fundraising and sponsorship opportunities and apply for grants to help with funding.  This funding helps keep our junior fees low to get more kids into softball, with upkeep and replacement of team uniforms, catchers safety equipment, gear bags, helmets, bats, training, game balls, prizegiving’s and equipment storage. 

Although we have four tiers of sponsorship we are grateful for any level of support from the ‘gift of time’ by being part of the committee or coaching, scorers and umpires or through donation or sponsorship.

PLATNIUM SPONSOR - Sponsor the NEW Premier Men's Misfits Team

  • All of Silver and Gold benefits*

In the 2021/22 season we had our first Division 1 mens team in years. The​​​​​​​ Misfits was made up with experienced players, young men and teenagers. Some of these young players have been identified as players to watch and invited to NZ Development camps.

The Misfits won the Division 1 Grade and at the North Harbour Softball awards pitcher Simon was awarded the Division 1 top pitcher and Most Valuable Player.

This season the Misfits will create two teams one will play in the North Harbour Softball Premier Men’s competition the other as their skilled development team in Division 1. These two teams will form the nucleus of premium men players for East Coast Bays Softball.

Creating a NEW team within the Premier Men’s competition requires a sponsor to help with funding so we can see these players reach great heights. They will require new playing jerseys for both Premier and Division 1 men, training and game equipment. While hopefully supporting the younger players who are paying multiple team fees.

We are seeking one or two Platinum sponsors for the Misfits team. The level of support negotiable.
