Sponsor a goal: every goal raises money for your team
Like a sponsored run, but per goal instead of per lap. Family, friends and neighbours pledge an amount per goal, and often a bonus for a win and a clean sheet. After each match Sideline Spons works out what each supporter owes, and the money goes straight to the team's funds.
How it works
The team manager sets up the team and shares a team code. Supporters join and choose their own amount, for example £1 per goal and £2 per win. Once the result is in, everyone hears what the match raised.
A fundraiser the whole family follows
Instead of another raffle, something the whole family can follow all season. Grandparents and neighbours support the team without buying things they don't need.
Safe for teams and supporters
Every supporter can set a maximum per match and per season, and always sees what they have given. Payments go to the team's own account, never through Sideline.
