Summer Jam League Season 2,

About the event

Summer Jam League is a adult recreational basketball league designed to bring the community together through the game we love. Unlike traditional rec leagues, we’re creating an experience—one that goes beyond the court. With engaging social media content, player awards, and exciting All-Star events, we aim to make every season special. More than just competition, this league fosters a positive, family-friendly atmosphere where players, their families, and fans come together to enjoy high-energy games. The strong community support and growing interest make this an incredible opportunity for any business to get involved and connect with an engaged audience.

Why should you sponsor?

1. Targeted Local Exposure

• The Rockford, Machesney Park, and Loves Park areas provide a dedicated audience of local athletes, sports fans, and community members who actively engage with the league.
• Your social media reach (growing Instagram presence with 100+ followers and 3,000 combined video views) ensures online visibility for sponsors.

2. Brand Association with a Growing Community Event

• The first season had 60 players, showing strong demand and potential growth.
• Sponsoring a popular, well-run basketball league aligns their brand with positive community impact and recreation.
• Businesses that support local sports leagues build goodwill and trust within the community.

4. Direct Customer Engagement

• Opportunity for special deals, coupons, or exclusive sponsor promotions to league players and fans.

Owen Hunt

I am someone who cares deeply about people and this area. Once I turned 20 there was nothing for me to do besides go to the YMCA or other local gyms. I got tired of that and knew I could create a community. Summer Jam League is just the start as I want to expand it to a older gentlemen's league and women's league. I do not just want to serve adult men in this area but everyone in this area who loves sports as I do. When I hosted my 3v3 winter slam tournament in December it was incredible seeing these men bring their families whether that was wives or moms. It let me know this was worth it and the money that your business is solely to get more exposure to other adults by working with a trusted business in this area. As well as getting my players better jerseys than 30-dollar Amazon jerseys. They are the reason this is even happening and I want to make sure they are my first priority.
