The Wessex Football League is delighted to announce a new partnership with TwelveYards , as Official Graphics Partners ahead of the upcoming season. This partnership has been put together for one simple reason: to help our clubs save time and stand-out on social media. Alongside the benefits being passed down to our teams, the Wessex League will also be using TwelveYards ourselves to power and enhance the league’s social media channels. Helping Clubs Deal with the Matchday Rush Matchdays are hectic. The same few volunteers are usually juggling the turnstiles, running the tea bar and trying to tweet live match updates all at once. When you’re that busy, putting together high-quality social media graphics is a massive headache. As a result, content isn’t always consistent and local sponsors don’t always get the exposure they deserve. TwelveYards fixes that. Their easy-to-use portal lets anyone - even if you have absolutely zero design experience - create professional matchday, commercial and club graphics in seconds. It gives Wessex League clubs the tools to look just as sharp and polished as professional teams online, which help bring in more fans and attract more commercial revenue. Exclusive Offers for Every Wessex League Club To make sure this partnership directly benefits our teams on a practical level, TwelveYards is offering an exclusive discount and package for Wessex League clubs: ● First 30 Days FREE: Every club in the league can try the platform for free for the first month, with hands-on support to get your club set up. ● 12% Discount: Reduced monthly rates across both packages to keep costs down for the season. ● Founding 15 Price Freeze: The first 15 Wessex League clubs to sign up will lock in their discounted rate for life. As long as your clubs stays signed up, your price will never go up.

Nicholas, UK Area Manager for 360Player, said: "We are incredibly excited to partner with the Wessex League and support its clubs as they continue to evolve. Having experienced football operations at this level, I understand the day-to-day challenges clubs face. Our aim is to help reduce the administrative burden, improve communication across senior and junior sections, and create new opportunities for clubs to grow commercially. There is also a fantastic opportunity to enhance player development utilising the same operating system, whether through structured development plans, video analysis, or support for pathways from youth to senior football. We currently work with aspiring clubs in the area, such as AFC Totton, AFC Portchester, Bournemouth Electric, and many others, and I'm thrilled to be working with clubs like these. We’re looking forward to working with forward-thinking clubs in the Wessex League who are ready to embrace technology and build for the future."
