Partners & donors
Help the kids play ball
Martinez Sports Academy is a youth baseball travel team and development program in Los Angeles. Local businesses and families are part of what keeps it going — a partnership, a donation, a banner on the fence, or simply a hand. Whatever you have to give, it goes to the kids.
Why it helps
A program like this runs on the people around it
Nobody pays a membership here. Families pay by the class, by the day, by the session — $30 for a weekend class, $75 for a camp day, $40 for physical training. That keeps it open to every kid who wants to play, and it is also why help from outside the program matters so much.
Support from a local business or a family goes straight to the kids — more gear, more time on the field, more of the little things that make a season feel like something. Donations also help kids who cannot afford to pay, giving them a partial or full grant, and each one is reviewed by our staff. Coach Rafa runs the program himself and knows exactly where it is needed, so the help lands where it does the most good.
If you would like to be part of it, tell us a little about yourself and how you would like to help. Coach Rafa will get back to you personally — no forms to chase, no commitment to make before you have even spoken.
Talk it through first

Three ways to help
Pick whichever one sounds like you. If you are between two of them, that is what the “both” option is for.
Partner or sponsor
For a local business that wants its name behind something good in the neighborhood. Tell us what you have in mind and Coach Rafa will talk it through with you — what it would look like, and what it would go toward.
Make a donation
For a family, a former player, a grandparent, or anyone who simply wants to help kids play ball. Donations also help kids who cannot afford to pay, giving them a partial or full grant, and each one is reviewed by our staff.
Both
Plenty of people do both, or start with one and end up at the other. Pick whichever fits and we will take it from there.
Raise your hand
Become a partner or donor

Partner & donor interest
Business or individual, partner or donor — one form covers it, and a banner inquiry goes through here too. Coach Rafa follows up with you directly.
Here for something else?
If you are a parent looking to sign a player up, everything you need is on the classes, training and camp pages. And if you just want to watch a session before deciding anything, come down to the field this weekend.
