Baltimore, MD – Coppermine, Maryland’s largest and most prestigious destination for youth sports, active lifestyle adults, and families, has inked a new one-year partnership with the Hard Rock Cafe’s Baltimore and Washington D.C. locations.
“This new partnership with Hard Rock Cafe is terrific news for Coppermine and our soccer community,” said Alex Jacobs, Owner, and CEO of Coppermine. “Situated right on the Inner Harbor, Baltimore’s Hard Rock Cafe is an icon in our city. Hard Rock has invested and driven value from soccer partnerships on the professional level, and Coppermine is excited to now be a leader in driving value at the grassroots level.”
Hard Rock Cafe has two locations in the state of Maryland, one in the Inner Harbor and the other in the heart of Washington D.C. Since having inked a global partnership with international soccer star Lionel Messi in 2022, Hard Rock Cafes across the country have been exploring partnership opportunities in the sports and athletics space. With the largest youth soccer club in the state of Maryland, Coppermine and Hard Rock will be creating unique activations to feed into the hype, and the stomachs, of the soccer community in Baltimore and DC.
“The Hard Rock Cafe team is extremely excited to have signed this partnership with Coppermine, Maryland’s largest destination for youth sports,” said Sara Lester, Regional Sales & Marketing Manager for Hard Rock Cafe. “With Coppermine’s extensive youth soccer programming, premier events just minutes away from our Baltimore location, and the wider access we will have to Coppermine’s community – we are hard at work, behind the scenes, planning our community activations for 2024.”
Coppermine’s Soccer Club was established in 2014. Now spanning three regions, Central, North & West, the club serves over 1,000 Maryland families with over 70 teams. In addition to the soccer club, Coppermine offers 60+ specialty soccer clinics year-round, and is home to the Canton Premier Cup, the region’s largest winter tournament that attracts top-talent teams, offering a high level of competition for middle and high school athletes.
This partnership was facilitated by BASE Sports Group (BASE). BASE leads the nation for facilitating brand partnerships in youth sports.
