You should go around to local businesses and explain that you are looking for sponsors for a soccer team. You might also want to come up with sponsorship levels and rewards so that businesses will have an incentive to sponsor you. For example, you could advertise their business at your games.

Question

What would it cost to make a jersey?

Community Answer

You could get a regular t-shirt for about a dollar and buy some iron-on letters at a craft store or supermarket for about five to 20 dollars, depending on what you wanted. So, a jersey could be made quite cheaply.

How many players do you need for an u9 team?

Community Answer

Depends on if it is 9 a side, 11 a side, etc. For a full squad, most u9 squads have between 14 to 20 players and the age range is between 7-9 as long as they look like they can pass for an u9 side.

Question

How can I convince the high school soccer coach to make a middle school team?

Community Answer

If I were you, I’d go around and gather a group of kids who want to play, and then find a coach (someone with good credentials, or just experience with soccer). Approach the coach and/or athletic director, and explain the importance of having a middle school team - how it will give more kids a chance to play, give them some experience before high school, build athleticism in the players, etc. I’d then explain that you have found a person to coach already but that you'll need time on the field, equipment, etc.
