Why This Matters to You
A Community Resource, Not a Vendor Contract

Local sponsorship revenue solves three problems at once — for families, for your budget, and for how your city shows up in the community.

🎽
Access & Equity
Sponsorship revenue offsets registration fees and equipment costs, keeping youth sports open to every family in your community — not just the ones who can afford it.
💰
Budget Relief
Funding for fields, facilities, and programs that doesn't come from your parks & rec budget or local taxpayers — it comes from local and national brands who want to reach your residents.
📈
Visible Investment
Every sponsorship is visible, local economic activity you can point to — a stronger case for continued investment in youth sports infrastructure, backed by real data.
Tournaments, Showcases & Events
Hosting an Event? It's a Sponsorship Asset Too.

A tournament weekend, a showcase, or a multi-day event draws visitors, teams, and foot traffic your city doesn't see on a normal weekend — and every bit of that is something a brand will pay to be associated with.

🏆
Tournament & Showcase Title Sponsorships
Presenting-sponsor naming rights for your signature tournament, invitational, or showcase weekend — sold the same way as a season sponsorship, just scoped to the event.
🎪
On-Site Activation & Vendor Space
Booth space, sampling, and activation opportunities for sponsors during the highest-traffic weekend your facilities see all year.
🏨
Visitor-Facing Placement
Banner, program, and welcome-package placement reaching the out-of-town teams and families your event brings into the community.

To be clear on scope: this is about sponsoring the event you're already hosting — not bidding for the rights to host it. If your city runs tournaments, showcases, or multi-day sporting events, we help you turn them into sponsorship revenue the same way we do for a full season.

Illustrative Example — Not an Actual Client

A mid-size city's parks & rec department runs an annual summer league tournament weekend — historically just a line item in the department's budget, with signage and banner space nobody ever thought to sell. Zubie Five values the weekend's sponsorship assets and brings in three local businesses to split a title-sponsor package: banner placement, a vendor booth, and a welcome table for the out-of-town teams filling up local hotels. The tournament runs at no net cost to the city, and the department has a package ready to sell again next season.
