Play More Grants on the line

When the contest ends September 7, the top three programs on the leaderboard take home Play More Grants — tournament dues that buy your teams more weekends on the field, on top of everything they've already raised.

  1. 1st place up to $3,500
  2. 2nd place up to $1,750
  3. 3rd place up to $700

Grant amounts are maximums, not guaranteed payouts, and are awarded as tournament dues rather than cash. The contest page carries the full rules, live standings and final awards.

5% of every sale, back to you

Families attach your team code once. For 12 months from the day your code is created, 5% of every completed sale goes to your program. It comes out of Spurt's cut, not theirs — nobody pays a cent extra to take part.

Gear your families can afford

Cleats, bats, helmets and pads outgrown by one family, priced for the next. No kid should miss a season over the price of new gear — buying used through Spurt keeps them playing.

A leaderboard to rally around

Listings, sales and dollars raised for every founding team, updated daily while the contest runs. Bring your parents' group chat — this part gets competitive.

Play More Grants

Gold, silver and bronze grants — up to $3,500 — for the top programs when the contest ends September 7, on top of everything they've raised.

Why families sell on Spurt

Listing is free

Photos, a price, a team code — a listing takes about a minute and never costs anything to post.

Sellers keep 85%

Spurt's 15% commission covers secure card payments and payouts — and it's where your team's 5% comes from.

No cash meetups

Buyers pay by card in the app and sellers get paid out to their bank. No envelopes of cash in a parking lot.
