We read every story and select a handful based on community impact, motivation, and long-term potential — plus how ready you are to get hands-on and move fast with us, step by step. The partners who reach first revenue quickest are the ones who put in real time and resources. The clearer and more real your story, the better your odds. Apply now — the cup is live and demand is peaking.

Indoor or outdoor fields, gyms, fitness studios, school gyms, community centers — anything from 430+ sq ft for preschool groups. Rented by the hour: no long-term lease, no buildout. You get dedicated training on finding the right space, and together with your business tracker you’ll shortlist the best options in your city.

Yes. You can operate under your own brand — part of the ready-to-use materials will need to be adapted, and we help you do that.
