Team Spirit Competition 2026 Merseyflow

Junior sports teams across Halton have the chance to win one of five kit packages worth up to £1,000 each, providing a free sports kit for every member of a winning team.

Five sports kit packages are available to five winning Halton teams for children aged 14 and under through merseyflow’s Halton Junior Team Spirit competition, which launches on Tuesday 22 September 2026.

Created by merseyflow, the competition aims to support local clubs that give children aged 14 and under the opportunity to take part in sport and benefit physically, mentally and socially. Clubs from all sports are encouraged to enter, including netball, gymnastics, dance, hockey, football, rugby and more.

To enter, an eligible club should email teamspirit@merseyflow.co.uk with an image that captures the team’s true ‘teamwork spirit’ and up to a maximum of 300 words explaining why the team deserves to win. Entries must be received by Tuesday 20 October 2026.

A merseyflow judging panel will select the five entries that demonstrate teamwork most creatively. Each winning team will receive a kit package.

The competition timeline is:

  • Tuesday 22 September – competition opens and entries can be emailed to teamspirit@merseyflow.co.uk
  • Tuesday 20 October – entry closing date
  • Thursday 29 October – five winners announced on merseyflow’s Facebook page

Neil Conway, Chief Executive of merseyflow, said: “Supporting our local community in Halton is hugely important to us. We know that many junior sports teams are self-funded and rely on donations to cover running costs and equipment. Through this competition, we want to recognise the fantastic work local clubs do to help children have fun, stay active and build confidence.”
