Kentucky Youth Soccer Partners with Dick’s Sporting Goods
LEXINGTON, KY(August 2, 2010) – Kentucky Youth Soccer, Kentucky’s largest youth sports organization, announces Dick’s Sporting Goods as the Official Sporting Goods Store of Kentucky Youth Soccer.
The partnership encompasses many elements intended to add benefits for Kentucky Youth Soccer members.
The signature element through the partnership is designated “Shop Days” where Kentucky Youth Soccer member families will have the opportunity to visit one of six statewide Dick’s Sporting Goods locations on specified days to receive coupons up to 25% off their purchase. These special offer coupons will be available for download through Kentucky Youth Soccer emails, e-newsletters and at KYSoccer.net in the coming weeks.
The Two “Shop Days” for the fall of 2010 are:
August 21 – Florence and Lexington (Fayette Mall and Hamburg stores)
August 28 – Louisville (Oxmoor, Springhurst and Hurstbourne stores)
"We are happy to have Dick’s Sporting Goods join our sponsor family and assist our members with discounts and access to products they use to further their games and pursue their dreams," said Kris Zander, Executive Director of Kentucky Youth Soccer. "Kentucky Youth Soccer strives to create benefits that assist our membership and we know families can use the reduced costs offered by our new partner."
The first member benefit will be in Kentucky Youth Soccer member email boxes this week with the dates, times and locations of the fall Shop Day. These dates were strategically agreed upon to occur right before the fall soccer season to receive maximum exposure.
Dick’s Sporting Goods will be featured on KYSoccer.net and related member benefits will also be communicated through the Kentucky Youth Soccer e-newsletters. Beginning with the Spring 2011, Dick’s Sporting Goods will hold designated registration space for Kentucky Youth Soccer member associations.
