Are you interested in becoming a 2024 Pelham Raiders Minor Lacrosse Association Sponsor?
The Pelham Raiders Minor Lacrosse Association has been a local sports organization representing the Pelham & Welland community, competitively, since 1967. In 2023 we enrolled approximately 150 kids ranging from ages 3 to 16 years old. Our goal for 2024 is to continue to grow our Canadian National Sport with hopes to enroll over 200 young athletes, in 7 divisions, with 11 or more teams. Our continued focus is to offer the youth of this community a sport that teaches teamwork, dedication, skill, mental toughness, and athleticism – the all-around sport!
With brand new leadership, the Raiders Organization is planning to implement two new opportunities for the upcoming season. These initiatives include:
- A restructuring of the U7 Paperweight age group – to include an additional weekly mini game hosted at the Pelham Arena.
- Hosting a “Fun Day” tournament for each age group at the Pelham Meridian Community Centre. A one day series of games to help teach our players the value of sportsmanship. The teams will also compete in a skills competition for prizes and will have a BBQ lunch.
- “Try Before You Buy” sessions – The PRMLA will host several lacrosse sessions for new players who want to try lacrosse before committing to a full season. These sessions are free for all players and run in February/March, prior to the season.
- Free Registration for our Soft Lacrosse (U5 Division)- making the sport affordable for our youngest members.
- The Future Stars Tournament – our signature event. We offer a highly competitive tournament for the U7 Paperweight age group. PRMLA will be hosting 16 teams from across Ontario for this 2-day tournament.
In order for our organization to be able to offer all of the practices, games, tournaments, and activities that make sport fun, competitive, and memorable for young athletes – we are in need of sponsorship contributions.
We recognize that your business is an integral part of this community, and we ask that you will consider partnering with us for the 2024 season. We hope that with our community involvement, we will be able to return some value to your business, through one of the various sponsorship opportunities available.
