Sponsor Us

We value our Sponsors

Sponsor support is the lifeblood of Harrogate Pythons Rugby Club. Every contribution, whether big or small, plays a vital role in sustaining our community, enhancing player welfare, and driving the club’s growth.

  • In the short term, sponsorship helps us maintain facilities, provide equipment, and support our teams on match days.
  • In the medium term, it funds development programmes, coaching, and player pathways that strengthen our future squads.
  • In the long term, it enables us to invest in lasting infrastructure, ensuring the Pythons remain a thriving hub for rugby in our community for generations to come.

We deeply value and appreciate our sponsors – their generosity is not just an investment in the club, but in the people and spirit that make Harrogate Pythons who we are.

🏉 The Pythons Patron’s Scheme

The Pythons goal is for success in all aspects of our club, and the results of our efforts come purely from the sterling commitment of our team of unpaid volunteers, members, players and supporters. However, two key areas related to our on-pitch activity need additional annual funding (Circa £12k-15k P.A.). These are our Coaching and Therapy regimes and strong funding in these areas allows Pythons to attract the right calibre of coaches and therapists. It is vital that we support our coaches and therapists in their personal development, as well as ensuring that their energy and goodwill does not leave them out of pocket. A Pythons Patron is our newest membership category, for which your patronage is directed specifically towards our ‘Coaching & Therapy Fund’. This allows us to continue to provide the necessary training, branded kit and travel expenses to our coaches and therapists (They’re not in the limelight on the pitch but are the foundation of what the club achieves).

£1200:00 per year

To specifically finance the club’s Athletic Development, Coaching & Therapy scheme via Pythons Patron membership. Enjoy full Pythons VP membership for two named people (with voting rights), and lunch for 6 at a home game of your choice.

🏉 Your Logo on Our Kit

Our main kit supplier is O'Neill's and their product quality ensures that our Pythons kit (branded with your company logo) remains in great condition for longer. Our match shirts, shorts and warm up kits are all currently Logo’d. We'll be shouting loudly when we need to renew and as this is such a very popular sponsorship opportunity, demand will no doubt be high, so please feel free to register your interest anytime now if you'd like to be considered for the next set.
