We Prospect, Pitch, and Close Sponsorships.
You Keep 80%.
Youth sports sponsorships that keep kids on the field and programs funded.
Zubie Five finds sponsors for community sports organizations, so the people running the program can stay focused on what matters. We work with youth leagues, high school athletics, nonprofits, colleges, pro teams, motorsports, and parks & rec departments — nationwide.
I'm Adam. I've spent my career in sports and nonprofit business development — I've worked with numerous professional sports organizations across Arizona and California, handling everything from ticket sales and community engagement to hospitality and partnerships. On the nonprofit side, I ran fundraising galas and golf tournaments for well-known national nonprofits while establishing new corporate partnership opportunities for their programs. I know what a brand's marketing director needs to see before they say yes, because I've spent over a decade making that pitch and hearing the answer.
Zubie Five brings that to youth leagues, high school athletics, community nonprofits, and parks & recreation departments — the programs that have real audiences and nobody selling for them.

Rec leagues lose sign-ups because they look like the backup option, not because the program isn't good. A rebrand fixes the positioning, the message, and the enrollment materials. Separate from our sponsorship brokerage.

- Enrollment-season marketing materials
- A parent-facing value proposition
One slow enrollment season shouldn't put a club at risk. Enrollment campaigns, family retention, and reputation guidance for travel and club organizations with no dedicated marketing person. Separate from our sponsorship brokerage.
- Enrollment-season campaigns
- Family retention & re-enrollment
- Positioning against competing clubs
- Incident & reputation communication
Sports is where we do most of our work — but if you run a program with a real audience and nobody selling for it, we should talk.
You Keep the Revenue.
A four-step process that turns your organization's untapped sponsorship potential into real, recurring revenue.
We assess your programs, audience, community footprint, and current revenue channels. This becomes the foundation of your entire sponsorship strategy.
We identify every sponsorship asset you have from jerseys, banners, events, digital, and build tiered packages with professional pitch decks.
We handle 100% of outreach, pitching, follow-up, and negotiation with local businesses and national brands. You never make a sales call.
Sponsor dollars reach your organization and go straight back into your season.
Marketing Director or Brand Manager? Sponsor Real Programs Without Chasing Them.
Local businesses and national brands: we find the right organizations in the markets you care about, pitch the partnership, negotiate it, and coordinate the rollout, so you get a real community presence without managing dozens of separate relationships.
Difference
Professional teams have someone whose entire job is selling sponsorship. Community organizations have a board member doing it between practices. We bring over a decade of pro and nonprofit sponsorship experience to programs that have real audiences and nobody selling for them — with a track record in Arizona, California, and Nevada and availability nationwide.
Building a World Where Sports Changes Lives at Every Level
Every child deserves the chance to play. That belief is why Zubie Five exists — but the way to protect it isn't a slogan, it's revenue.
When a league lands real sponsorship, it can hold registration fees down, buy equipment it was asking families to cover, and fund scholarships for the kids who need them. When a league can't, it shrinks or folds — and rec ball stops being an option in that community. Club and travel programs do great work, but they're a different commitment and a different budget. Families should get to choose that, not get pushed into it.
I grew up playing. I want kids today to have the same shot, which means the organizations giving it to them need to be funded well enough to stay open.
Today, Zubie Five serves youth leagues, high school athletics, club and travel programs, nonprofits, collegiate and independent sports properties, motorsports, and cities and parks & rec departments across Arizona, California, and Nevada. Whether we're securing a jersey patch sponsor for a little league or building a full sponsorship strategy for a D3 athletic department, the mission is the same: find the right partners, unlock the right revenue, and let sports do what it does best.
We believe sports, at every level, is one of the most powerful forces for community, character, and connection that exists. Our job is to make sure the organizations delivering that impact never have to do it without the resources they deserve.
Learn More About Us →We're working toward the same thing you are: sponsor dollars in your account and a stronger season.
Our work is done when sponsor money reaches your organization, not when a contract gets signed. For sponsorships we sell for youth sports leagues, high school athletics, and nonprofits, our commission is a flat 20% of the revenue we close, the same rate for new sponsors and every renewal, with no seasonal minimum.
Every sponsor counts: five outfield banners at $200 each add up to a real program, and we'll build it with you.
Not sure what your program has to offer? Our complimentary valuation tool shows you, and we'll walk through it together.
