Sports Person Nights

We can organise a sports person or panel of sporting stars to come to your club / school / charity organisation.

Sports stars appearances can be used for :

Kevin Sheedy

• Motivational talks – inspiration – can be used on any occasion.
• Entertainment talks - funny stories relating to the player’s history in the game. These are often a large make up of the traditional "sportsman nights".
• Sports Panels – range of guest speakers / questions & answers
• Coaching sessions – let a sports star take your local team for training.

Any combination of two or more of the above types of talks are available.

Due to the professional nature of sportsmen/women now days, an appearance fee is required to secure a speaker (s). Many of the former players rely on speaking engagements as an alternative career once they have finished playing the game they loved. We have a very extensive list of speakers available, however there is a wide variance in appearance fees set by the players/managers. We usually ask you to provide an estimated budget your club wants to allocate to the speaker and we will email a list of speakers available at that price. By charging a small admittance fee for patrons to attend the event , you can easily cover the speaking fee and make money.

All speakers are subject to availability and the commitments of their sport / league competition. Once you book a speaker through us we can offer :

Doug Hawkins     

• Confirmation of date/time of speaker
• You are able to use the speaker’s name in advertising
• Promotional kit on the player (including photos & stats) provided to your club
• Additional requests (e.g. pre-dinner drinks with club committee).
• FREE signed sports memorabilia by the speaker donated to your club.
