(ASX: SZL) (Sezzle or Company) // - Sezzle, a leader in the Buy Now, Pay Later industry, is pleased to announce its partnership with Gridiron––providing the fastest growing youth football league in the US with their innovative digital payment solution.

Traditionally, youth sports help kids stay fit, build character and make lifelong friends––but if families are not careful, sports can also upend tight finances and cut into necessary budget allocations.

Did you know?: Youth Sport Finances

• The Aspen Institute found the average amount of spending on sport was approximately $692. That's per child, per sport and per year.
• 2018, only 38% of kids aged 6 to 12 played team sports on a regular basis -- down from 45% a decade earlier

"It's often said, you can leave the game of football — but the game never leaves you! Upon finishing my NFL career, I knew I was never going to be the behind-the-desk employee. I had to launch and build a business that represented my love for the game and, more importantly, develop a program that could help kids with my same passion pursue their dreams starting from a young age. The idea of Gridiron Football, a safer and more innovative way to reimagine and enjoy youth non-contact football, was born," said Joey LaRocque, Founder & CEO, Gridiron Football. "Bringing Sezzle on board to ease the financial worries of families was a natural yet groundbreaking next step in the company's journey, we want every kid to have the same opportunity. "

This partnership comes just in time for thousands of shoppers to use Sezzle's convenient and interest-free payment option when they sign up for Gridiron's Summer and Fall football leagues. Beginning September 1st (for the Fall) and July 5th (for the Summer), girls and boys of all ages across the United States will begin the largest season yet of Gridiron's rapidly growing football league. https://www.gridironfootball.com.
