// HOST A RUN · YOUR DOOR INTO JRZY

Somebody held the door open for you once. Hold it open for the next kid.

A host does one job: keep the place safe. You open a JRZY venue, you're present, you tap the roster. You don't coach, you don't ref, you don't keep score. The kids run the game. Football (soccer) ⚽ and beyond.

// The job

What a host does, and doesn't.

You do

Be there.

Show up, open the container, stay present, and keep the place safe. Confirm kids on the roster as they arrive. Welcome parents who come to watch. That's the whole job.

You don't

Blow whistles.

No officiating, no picking teams, no keeping score, no measuring effort. Street rules. The kids self-officiate and it resolves itself. Your presence earns the drop-off, not your whistle.

You get

A standing in the ecosystem.

A verified host profile on JRZY, a venue and time slot that's yours, and a community that knows your name. And when a local business backs your run, the support flows through you: kit, gear, and first looks. Hosts are how coaches, club staff, and future club owners enter JRZY.

Vetting

Every host is a vetted adult: identity check, background check, and a short orientation on the house rules. Most of our players are minors, so this step never bends. Approval typically takes under a week.

// The path

Four steps to your first run.

01

Apply

Five minutes, below. Tell us who you are and when you're free.

02

Get vetted

ID and background check, plus a 20-minute orientation call on the house rules.

03

Get matched

We pair you with a venue, a sport, an age band, and a recurring slot near you.

04

Open the doors

Your run goes live on the Pickup board. Kids check in, parents get the signal, you keep it safe.

// Backed runs

When a business backs your run, good things show up.

Local businesses can back a hosted run the same way they sponsor an Academy team: their name on the listing, their support in the container. What that unlocks for the host varies by run, season, and sponsor, so treat everything here as what backing can bring, never what hosting owes you. The run stays free for the kids either way.

The container

Stocked and ready

Balls, bibs, cones, water, first-aid. Backing keeps the container stocked so you never open the gate empty-handed.

The host kit

JRZY on your back

Host-edition JRZY gear, drop pieces before anyone else sees them, and the kind of kit that tells the neighborhood who holds the door.

The experience

Doors around the league

Seats at league fixtures, Academy events, and drop nights. The perks flex with what's on that season. We tune them, you enjoy them.

The path

Credit where you're going

Backed hosting builds your record inside JRZY: orientation credits toward Academy coaching roles and standing when club licenses open.

The line

Sponsors back the container: the venue, the gear, the host. Never the kids, never the play. Nothing inside the session is measured or sold, and no perk ever depends on how the kids perform. Available, tunable, never promised.

For businesses

Want your name on a run? Backing a run works like sponsoring a team: priced plainly, credited visibly. See how sponsorship works →

Raise your hand.

Host application

Application in. We'll reach out within a few days to start vetting. Welcome to the door-holding business.

Submitting starts the vetting process: identity check, background check, and orientation. Hosting is volunteer-first; venue and insurance are covered by JRZY.

Who hosts today

Coach D. · Genesis Grounds, Saturdays. "I coach all week. Saturday morning I just open the gate and watch them figure it out. Best part of my week."

The house rules, short version

Host the container, not the game. Be present, keep it safe, tap the roster. No whistles, no scores, no measuring kids. Parents welcome, always.

Where this can go

Hosting is the ground floor of JRZY. Hosts get backed by local businesses, become Academy coaches, run venues, and some go on to own a club in the league. Club ownership →
