LI-KICK
LI-Kick formed a strategic partnership with a local commuter college that was struggling with enrollment in their in-house intramural programming. Through collaboration with the college's Student Activities Office, students were able to participate on college-sponsored teams in LI-Kick leagues. This partnership successfully bridged the gap between the college's offerings and LI-Kick's community driven sports leagues, benefitting all parties involved- The school was able to offer a more engaging and diverse intramural program, students gained easy access to intramural sports, and LI-Kick enrollment increased.
