Any recommendations for a small, portable EZ Up for club use at cycling events? We've got a fairly standard one which is great when up but it's pretty cumbersome when packed up and we really need something that easily fits in the boot of a car, rather than needing a van or seats down.

Not that bothered about being custom printed, as long as we can get it in club colours (red) and brand up with our own flags/banners.

Will be used through the year so something sturdy enough to stand up to some of the elements, and careless kids cycling into the poles....

Its going to be all about how much you are willing to compromise on size or perhaps ease of erection if you want it to fit in a car boot with the seats up. I've never seen a red one - but inflatable event shelters are available that pack to car boot size and maintain the ease of up/down.

The Coleman Fastpitch Event Shelters are a reasonable compromise between the EZ Up type and the traditional event shelter with a pack size closer to an event shelter. Not red though.

We use/have a lot of various pop-ups for events. Yep - Coleman Event Shelter is the likely answer (but not red). They pack down pretty small (certainly small enough for a car boot). I'm not aware of a standard frame gazebo pop-up that will get anything like as small (and even then, suspect it would be made of cheese and wouldn't withstand the first breeze it encountered).
