How to Get Sponsorships for Your Team

USAPL Collegiate Team Sponsorship Process

USAPL Collegiate teams tend to incur a lot of costs, and the majority of these are equipment or travel-related. USAPL Collegiate teams can help to offset some of these costs by facilitating sponsorships with local brands, or other big powerlifting equipment brands.

The process for facilitating a sponsorship:

  1. Find the email for the company, or another source of contact
  2. Email them asking for a sponsorship or discount code (Most companies will not provide their products for free; however, they may provide you with a discount code or give you access to their discounted school pricing list).

Common Brands that sponsor University teams:

  • Powerlifting shoe brands such as Avancus or Notorious Lift usually provide a team discount code
  • SBD or A7: Usually provides discounts for teams if they order a certain amount of dollars' worth of product
  • Pre-workout and supplement brands such as 110 Percent Supplements will usually provide a discount code
  • If you are looking for Single-ply equipment, Titan Support Systems has discounted school pricing on their gear for university teams. For this, you would just need to email them and ask for the list (Pro tip: also make sure to put your order in early, since the gear takes about 10 weeks to come in)
  • Liftinglarge.com also offers school discounts on powerlifting equipment. You can email them for a student discount prices list.
