League Jiu-Jitsu — The Scramble

For academy owners

A Saturday morning that pays for itself

League Jiu-Jitsu gives your academy a new product, a new revenue line, and a reason for students to stay.

The problem you already have

Three things you already know

Year three

Students leave around year three when there is nothing new on the schedule.

Empty hours

Weekends and evenings sit empty while people play recreational sport somewhere else.

Nothing to chase

Blue belts four years in have nothing to move toward except their next belt.

Retention

What it does for retention

A game every week gives a three year purple belt something new, a stat line, and a reason to show up on a day they would have skipped. Retention is the argument, and it is worth more than any single revenue line.

A new product

Not another class

Rec League is aimed at people who would never sign up for a Jiu-Jitsu class. No gi, no rank, no commitment. It is the easiest thing in the building for a student to invite a friend to.

The schedule

It fits the schedule you already have

WhenWhat runs
Monday to ThursdayRegular classes
Friday eveningA game
SaturdayA second game or an open mat game

This is the emptiest part of most academy schedules and exactly when people play recreational sport. Nobody gives up a training night for it.

Staffing

A blue belt can run it

The card does the teaching. The job is the clock, the board and the room. The owner does not have to add another night to their own schedule, and it is a job to give somebody who has nothing else to move toward.

Ways to price it

Three models

Included in tuition

Costs you nothing to sell and makes the membership harder to cancel.

Membership upgrade

A tier above your standard membership for the people who want the games.

Pay per game

Lowest barrier for non-members and the friends they bring.

The more you charge the fewer play, and the game needs twelve.

Where the players come from

Five sources

  • Students bring friends.
  • The brand on your website.
  • The app lists your location.
  • Students who quit and will not resubscribe, but will come to a game.
  • Parents sitting in the lobby during kids class.

Beyond your four walls

Clubs that feed back

  • Schools and PTAs
  • After school programmes
  • Summer camps
  • Universities
  • Community centres

A blue belt can run a club anywhere with a room and mats, and those clubs feed back to the academy.
