TLC Sport Summit Helps Youth Sports Go Pro
Summary
MLB Hall of Famer and tournament mogul Cal Ripken, Jr. is the TLC Sport Summit 2017 keynote speaker “Today, leaders of tournaments, leagues, clubs and associations dictate buying and management habits for eight out of ten amateur sports teams,” said TeamSnap CEO Dave DuPont. “Yet until now there was no one place for leaders of tournaments, leagues and clubs across all team sports to share best practices. The TLC Sport Summit is that place.” The one-day TLC Sport Summit’s goal of educating youth and high school tournament, league and club directors is part of League Network’s trademarked mission, “Better Leagues, Better Lives.” The company’s motto is based on founder Anne-Sophie Whitehead’s observation that, as she states it, “Communities that have well run youth sports leagues have a higher quality of life in the form of higher high school graduation rates and lower youth crime.” After Cal Ripken, Jr.’s morning keynote, TLC Sport Summit attendees from 30 different sports will hear 60 best practice secrets from 28 experts such as Zero Gravity Basketball’s Greg Kristof, Capitol Hill Volleyball’s Bonnie Goldberg, US Amateur Baseball’s Brian Delahant, EDC Soccer’s Alan Shillling, NFL Youth’s Roman Oben, Air Force Academy Rugby’s Amy Russert, Pop Warner football’s Anthony Corleto, and many more. “Living in the digital and social media age puts new pressures on youth league leaders to change,” says Anne-Sophie Whitehead. After all, youth sports now includes eSports, which makes it so we must both improve the games between the lines, and between the ears.”
