EVERY Kid SPorts Pass
EVERY Kid SPorts Pass
ICOR operates as both a for-profit martial arts gym and as a non-profit amateur boxing club. Our non-profit arm helps fund our amateur competition team and offers scholarships to low-income youths, ages 5 through senior in high school, who qualify based on their family's eligibility for SNAP benefits or Medicaid. For eligible K-12 individuals, we work with a program called Every Kid Sports Pass. If you are unable to get the EKSP but otherwise qualify for the program, then monthly dues will be only $40 per month.
The dues are $150 for a three-month membership, but they are 100% free if you sign up for the program. Every Kid Sport will mail you a visa card with $150 that can only be used at our location. Once you receive the prepaid card, you can sign up for a 3-month paid-in-full membership use the discount code EVERYKIDSPORT to reduce the fee from $450 to $150 and pay with the pre-paid card you received in the mail.
Availability is limited in our scholarship program, so scholarship recipients are required to attend classes at least twice weekly to make sure our limited resources are available to other eligible students who wish to participate. If the child qualifies as low-income but is not eligible for Every Kid Sport Pass, we still have other options available. Please email us at icorboxing@gmail.com for more information.
