Knowles has a history with the club that continues to grow and was happy to help.
"My kids have been playing with Moss Vale Soccer Club for four years," Mr Knowles said.
"As a local Moss Vale business, we're always looking to support community groups and sporting clubs. We sponsored the club last year with training shirts.
"It was a really great experience, we had excellent feedback and we were hoping to do something again with the club this year."
Getting this sponsorship was something Knowles really wanted to get behind and the members of Moss Vale Soccer Club were as motivated as he was.
"Krystal the club president is really proactive," Mr Knowles said.
"She had the idea of giving the juniors a soccer ball at the presentations instead of a medal. I was really keen to get on board with that and help out.
"Hopefully this will get the kids picking up the soccer ball more and going for a kick rather than sitting in front of a screen all day."
Moss Vale Soccer Club president Krystal Meindl was ecstatic when the donation was received.
"We are so grateful that we have the support of local businesses like Nick Knowles Pharmacy," Ms Meindl said.
"Without sponsorship like this, we would not be able to provide our players with quality equipment, apparel and end of season trophies, or in this case soccer balls."
Helping out his community in anyway he can has given Knowles an excellent feeling and he shared some positive words on the partnership.
"It feels great to help out," Knowles said.
"We really look to help out sporting clubs. Being a pharmacy we're all about a healthy lifestyle.
"We see a lot of people who need medication for chronic illnesses, but it's just as important for us to see encouragement in a fit lifestyle and organised sport.
"It's a great fit for us."
