With the start of the football season right around the corner, we’re getting all excited at Red Rocket Couriers. Not just because we love football, but we love helping professional and amateur football teams with jobs to help keep the game moving. From forgotten playing kits to luxury items for professionals, you’d be surprised at what we’ve worked on in the past.
And it’s not just football either! Within sports, we realise that matches, tournaments and events all take a lot of preparation. One major part of the sporting industry is equipment, practically every sport needs some kind of equipment. Whether it’s balls and goalposts or bats and pads, equipment is necessary to allow people to play.
We’re here to help sports teams keep the ball rolling! And this post will explain how our services can help different sports and events be a success.

Forgotten Equipment and Sports Clothing
As we’ve mentioned, when playing sports, a lot of equipment is involved. Let’s take football for example. Firstly, you’re going to need balls - otherwise, there’s no game. Training equipment, football boots and kits will also need to be transported too. As you grow older, teams no longer turn up in their kits like in junior football.
All of the above-mentioned items are crucial to the success of the game going ahead. Not only that, but they’re also essential for teams performing to their optimum and getting the results that they want. We know how frustrating it can be when playing an away fixture and you forget something important - that’s why we’re here for you to get your items to you as quickly as possible.
It’s not just the amateur clubs that forget things from time to time too - there have been many occasions where professional clubs have forgotten kits. None more memorable than Millwall having to wear Sheffield Wednesday’s away kit back in 2013 after leaving theirs back in London.
The kit didn’t arrive on time for kick-off, so Millwall had to make do with Wednesday’s away kit until half time. Would there be anything more embarrassing than getting beat in your opponents’ strip? We don’t think so. You’ll be glad to know that should you forget anything, amateur or professional club, we can help. We’ve successfully worked with both previously.
Forgotten Personal Luxury Items
This one targets the professional club market more, however, we’re not saying that amateur sportsmen and women aren’t flashy either. When on tour for a couple of days, or stopping overnight due to long travel times, sportsmen and women tend to plan things to take in a new city. Whether it’s a night out or sampling the local culture, you want to look your best.
As we’ve all done in the past, there’s nothing more frustrating than forgetting something, is there? From watches and jewellery to pairs of shoes and accessories, it always seems to be the things that you want the most that you forget. In the past, we’ve worked with various Premier League footballers to help deliver their most prized possessions that they’ve forgotten on away trips.
We understand that expensive watches and jewellery need delivering with care. Plus, to put the trust in somebody to deliver an expensive possession can be a big thing. However, there’s no need for any worries when dealing with Red Rocket. No matter what the item is, it’s handled professionally and with the utmost care - you can be sure it’ll arrive quickly and in good condition.
For total peace of mind, we offer a fully trackable service from collection to delivery. That way, you can see the progress that your item is on its way and can get a better gauge for the time that it’ll be delivered.
Help An Organised Event Run Smoothly
Conferences, tournaments and other sporting events are common throughout the whole industry - especially in the professional sporting world. So, in order for things to run like clockwork, the organisation has to be spot on. With that in mind, equipment has to be delivered at the right time for things to go ahead as planned.
If you think of large events like Royal Ascot and Cheltenham Festival, they last for a number of days and are some of the largest events in the horse racing calendar. They’re huge and need a lot of equipment, stock and products to be able to put on a show like they do year in year out. For an event of such scale, you need a courier that you can rely upon to get the job done right.
At Red Rocket, we’ve previously worked on large events and know what it takes to have a helping hand in things running smoothly. With large sporting events, there’s a lot of pressure on things going well. And that’s just with the management of customers and spectators on the day.
Organisers shouldn’t have to worry about things not turning up on time and being in place - and with Red Rocket, they don’t have to!
Long-Standing Contracts
While we’re there for people and sports teams when they forget things, that’s not all that we do. We work with sports teams of all levels, from grassroots to professional to help them keep moving forwards. Our long-standing contracts help us create a strong relationship with teams in different sports, which is something that we’re incredibly passionate about.
So, if you need equipment delivered to away matches on a regular basis - or have a calendar of sporting events coming up, we’re more than happy to help. As we’ve mentioned, we’ve worked with teams and organisations for a wide variety of jobs. Your request won’t be the first one that we’ve had from the sporting industry, whatever it is - we can assure you.
