Three trainers feature at each match, with regular television exposure whilst assisting players with injury or delivering messages from the coaching staff. CHEERLEADER SPONSORSHIP One of the most sought after partner opportunities is the Cheerleader Sponsorship because they feature so prominently on game days. From handing out information at the entry gates, photos with supporters and a dance performance at half time to their individual profiles on our website. These are just some of the benefits to be had from dance team sponsorship. Why not associate your brand with a Wests Tigers supporter favourite and really help grow your brand profile.

Q: When will I receive my sponsorship benefits?

A: Yes, facility sharing attracts the following policy. Wests Tigers will maintain contact with each company sharing the facility. The facility must be purchased in full and must be purchased for all home matches at Campbelltown Sports Stadium and Leichhardt Oval. Facility holders share the benefits of each package however additional benefits can be purchased. Wests Tigers can invoice each company sharing the box or the box principal may be invoiced the full amount.

A: You will receive the majority of your benefits at the start of the 2011 season. A Wests Tigers Sponsorship Executive will meet with you to plan your benefit delivery programme.
