Start a Club
Becoming a Local Club is easy!
- You can share your passion for fitness with kids that need a positive influence.
- Set up and manage your own non-profit, without the administrative hassle of doing it from scratch.
- Have the appropriate legal, financial, and insurance structures in place so you're not putting yourself at risk.
- Save time by using our Member Resources (templates, form letters, best practices, and promotional material) to help grow and market your program.
- Accept tax-deductible donations and fundraise within the CrossFit community.
How to get started:
We've made it easy to become part of the Steve's Club National Program (SCNP). Here's how to get started:
1. Download the "Start a Local Club Checklist" and the SCNP Application.
2. Contact Lee Knight, Program Director (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) to let us know you're interested. You'll be given access our Member Resources page that has documents and templates for the remaining steps.
3. Submit the SCNP Application and the rest of the documents listed on the checklist.
If you're an existing CrossFit Affiliate, you can actually start training kids while you complete the necessary paperwork. If you're a CrossFit L1 trainer, consider asking your CrossFit Affiliate if they'd like to host a Local Steve's Club. You can start a Steve's Club without being a CrossFit Affiliate, but it's easier to link up with them for equipment, insurance, fundraising, etc.
You can train kids at a gym, park, community center, church, Boys and Girls Club, school, etc. When you start your Local Club, we recommend starting small - find a core group of kids (maybe from an existing local non-profit or community group) and run a pilot program for 6 weeks, with classes once or twice a week.
We're excited for you to get started!
