For gym owners in San Diego County
This is not a discount. This is a growth partnership.
We help cover tuition — full or partial, depending on funding — so you can put a kid on the mat who could never afford your program. You keep every dollar we pay.
Why gyms partner with us
What your academy gets out of a sponsored spot
- You keep 100% of revenue
- Roll Model Project pays your published youth tuition rate — full or partial, depending on funding — on your normal billing cycle. Nothing is discounted and nothing is donated out of your pocket.
- Sponsorship is a growth partnership
- Sponsored kids fill quiet weekday classes, bring siblings and parents through the door, and raise retention in your youth program.
- Treat it as a marketing line item
- Your academy becomes the visible reason a neighborhood kid is training instead of drifting. That story markets your gym better than any ad spend.
- You stay in control
- You set how many sponsored spots your mats can hold, which class times they train, and you can pause intake anytime.
