Player Sponsors
Every registered player at St. Bernard's, whether they are playing under 18 football or playing in the first XVIII, is required to pay their annual player subs. Many of our players are young men, possibly still studying or early in their chosen career. Where possible, generous supporters of the football club or family or friends of players may agree to assist a player or players by sponsoring either all or a portion of the payment of their annual player subs.
Such generosity is appreciated by the sponsored player, by the football club and the broader St. Bernard's community. Player Sponsors can choose from one of four player sponsorship options. These are:
- Bronze Player Sponsor Membership ($350), which pays the players annual subs, including the players club membership.
- Silver Player Sponsor Membership ($450), which pays the players annual subs, including the players club membership as well as a club membership for the player sponsor.
- Gold Player Sponsor Membership ($1,500), which sponsors three players for their annual player subs and each players club membership, as well as club membership for the player sponsor and some general working capital for the football club.
- Platinum Player Sponsor Membership ($2,500), which sponsors five players for their annual player subs and each players club membership, as well as a club membership for the player sponsor and some general working capital for the football club.
The club's coterie group, the Diamond Dogs, also has membership levels that incorporate a player sponsorship component. These are:
- Silver Diamond Dog membership, ($2,000), which incorporates a single player sponsorship, including the players club membership as well as a club membership for the Diamond Dog member.
- Gold Diamond Dog membership, ($3,500), which incorporates two player sponsorships, including each players club membership as well as a club membership for the Diamond Dog member.
- Platinum Diamond Dog membership, ($5,000), which incorporates four player sponsorships, including each players club membership as well as a club membership for the Diamond Dog member.
If you would like to sponsor a member of the 2012 playing group, please peruse the clubs online shop. All of the player sponsorship levels can be purchased online at the click of a button!
The following is a listing of player sponsors for the 2012 season as at the middle of April 2012. Some of these player sponsors have specifically requested players to sponsor, while a few have been allocated members of the playing group.
This player sponsor list will be updated regularly between now and the start of the season.
