*Academy One Announces Long-Term Sponsorship Deal with Construction North Group (CNG)*
AC1 and CNG announce 3-year sponsorship Deal
Academy One is delighted to announce the details of a long-term sponsorship agreement with its new commercial partner, Construction North Group (CNG). This partnership marks an exciting chapter for Academy One as we align with a partner who shares our commitment to youth development and community engagement.
CNG has a proud history of supporting youth sports within Bradford and the surrounding areas, actively investing in local clubs across a wide range of sports. In our search for a commercial partner, it was crucial for us to find an organization that mirrored our philosophy of prioritizing player development and growth. We are pleased to have found this in CNG, whose values align closely with ours.
The sponsorship deal spans three years, with each year bringing new initiatives and opportunities for our players. The first year of the partnership will focus on supporting our U11, U12, U13, and U14 age groups. Beyond providing new kits, the sponsorship has enabled Academy One to invest in cutting-edge Veo equipment, which is designed to enhance both team and individual player analytics. This technology allows coaches to highlight specific areas where players can improve by creating personalized highlight reels from each match day, analyzing key metrics such as pass completion rates, heat maps, and distance covered.
Year two will see CNG extend its support to our younger age groups, specifically U7, U8, U9, and U10. This expansion will provide all our Junior Premier League (JPL) teams and players access to these new capabilities, further enhancing their experience and development.
"We are thrilled to embark on this partnership with CNG, an organization that not only supports local sports but also aligns with our core values of putting the player first," said [Andy Johnstone ], [Academy One Owner]. "This sponsorship will play a key role in helping our players develop their skills and reach their full potential but also provide the Academy with the tools needed to develop even further."
The partnership with CNG represents a shared vision of fostering young talent and supporting the growth of sports. Both Academy One and CNG are excited about the future and the impact this collaboration will have on youth sports in the region.
The Academy One team.
