Play Minutes

A better way for grassroots clubs to attract sponsorship.

We help clubs turn the sport they already deliver into a simple, measurable impact figure for sponsors.



Talk to us about Play Minutes

An initiative from JW Sports

250,000 Play Minutes

Example: the amount of grassroots sport a local sponsor could help support.

How does it work? 


Club Data

We use information your club already has.


Estimated Play Minutes

We calculate the approximate amount of sport being delivered.


Sponsor Packages

We turn that into sponsorship opportunities.
