Partnership opportunities include advertising and branding; strategic partnerships; player and game sponsorship; community sponsorship; digital opportunities; and supplier agreements. Bespoke and comprehensive partnership activation has resulted in a near-perfect retention rate each season. Whilst helping to grow the club both on and off the court, key partnerships will also help the Flyers to achieve their core short-term goal: building a purpose built basketball arena to serve both the club and the community.
