Additionally, Bad Dinosaur plans to support The Spartans Community Football Academy with their STEM and sport educational programme, Sphero. The Bad Dinosaur team will volunteer their skills and expertise to help create activities and projects for community members.

 

Spartans players and staff, along with representatives from Bad Dinosaur, launched the sponsorship deal at last weekend’s SWPL Cup match versus Hamilton Academical WFC.

 

Spartans Head Coach Debbi McCulloch said: “We are delighted to welcome Bad Dinosaur to the club as we embark on another new partnership. It was clear from our initial discussions with Bad Dinosaur that they had a real passion for female sport and an honest social conscience so our partnership is the perfect fit.”

 

Bad Dinosaur’s, Kyle Whittington, Managing Director and Founder, commented: “Spartans is so much more than a football club, it’s a real community that cares about it’s members and we were really impressed with the STEM initiatives that they are driving. Helping to get more women into tech starts and getting young girls interested in technology, is important to us. We know we work best when we have broader perspectives, inclusivity, and diverse representation in our team. We’re incredibly proud to be able to support Spartans and look forward to cheering the team on from the sideline.”
