Every season, we receive questions regarding the league's use of sponsorship monies. All sponsorship money is deposited in the OGSA general fund to use in operating the league. We expect each team to solicit and gain at least one $500.00 sponsor. The team sponsor each of you solicits is assigned to your team for recognition purposes.
We need thousands of dollars each season to pay for:
| Player Insurance | $2,000.00 |
| Softballs | $2,500.00 |
| Equipment | $4,000.00 |
| Field supplies | $1,000.00 |
| Umpires | $6,000.00 |
| Field Lights* | $15,000.00 |
| Uniforms | $12,000.00 |
| Trophies | $3,000.00 |
| Pictures | $1,500.00 |
| ACE Coaches Clinic | $1,300.00 |
| Field Vehicle - John Deere Gator | $5,200.00 |
| Sponsor Banners | $1,500.00 |
| Total | $55,600.00 |
Registration Fees account for only $27,000.00 of our income.
*The City of Oceanside raised the lights fee by 33% for the coming season. It is critical we get as many sponsors as possible for the upcoming season as soon as possible.
Every team receives or uses secondary insurance, uniforms, pictures, softballs, equipment, field lights, field supplies & every division except Rookies has umpires officiate games. Sponsor money, the Hit-a-Thon fundraiser and snack bar income are vital in covering the additional $28,600.00 in expenses.So you see, the business that generously donates to sponsor your team does directly support you financially with the money going to the general fund. OGSA depends heavily on team and league sponsorships. The more we can get, the better the experience we can provide the girls that play at OGSA.
Thank you for your support! We look forward to another great season!
