As this basketball season comes to a close, we’re reflecting on another successful year collaborating as the Official Auto Insurance Partner of the NBA G League. This year, we hosted youth organizations for special VIP game experiences across the country. Each event included high-five tunnels with the players, pizza parties, and G League basketball. Read more about each activation in our recent blog, and be sure to follow along for announcements around our community initiatives next season.

Stack Sports has joined nearly 20 partner organizations for The Aspen Institute’s new #63X30 Vision, aimed at getting 63% of youth playing sports by 2030. As of today it is estimated only 54% of children ages 6-17 in the U.S. played on a team or took lessons in 2022. As one of the partner organizations, Stack Sports joins the other partnering organizations in committing to taking actions that can get and keep more children playing sports, from creating affordable programs in underserved neighborhoods to promoting multi-sport sampling to developing more coaches to serve children’s needs.

It Takes a Village to Raise a Sportsman In the world of sports, success isn't solely the result of individual effort but rather a collective endeavor. Families provide the foundation, offering unwavering support through early morning practices and late-night games. Coaches serve as mentors, guiding athletes through challenges and pushing them to excel. Teammates foster team spirit, pushing each other to reach new heights. Mentors offer wisdom and inspiration, guiding athletes through the complexities of the sporting world. Beyond these close circles, communities rally behind talent, providing resources and opportunities for growth. From grassroots organizations to sponsors and fans, the support of the broader community is invaluable. Together, this village of support nurtures the passion, determination, and resilience required for athletic success. As we celebrate the achievements of athletes, let's also acknowledge the collective effort behind their triumphs, recognizing the vital role each member of the village plays in shaping their journey. #TeamEffort #SupportNetwork #CommunitySpirit #AthleticJourney #GrassrootsSupport #MentorshipMatters #FamilyFirst #SportsCommunity #TogetherWeAchieve #TriumphThroughUnity

In my spare time, I am a volunteer soccer coach...I love the game. Last year, we had this vision for creating a free, fun, and friendly soccer program for 4, 5, and 6-year-olds to get started in soccer. The Claremont Stars Soccer Club, fully supported and adopted the program, we found local sponsors (ice cream shop!), and over 140 kids signed up! The recipe for winning in youth soccer is easy....Get BIG, FAST, STRONG players and KICK the ball HARD up the field to your BEST player. This is the recipe to win games, but it's destructive for developing GREAT soccer players. Young players should love to dribble and pass the ball. They need the freedom to try new things and make mistakes without parents and coaches yelling at them to "SEND IT!!" This "player development" focus will result in more losses early on....but, as they get older the game requires more and more skill. Technical ability, game intelligence, and creativity become MORE important that BIG, FAST, and STRONG. We should never sacrifice long-term goals for short-term wins, especially when the short-term wins detract from our long-term goals. Lastly, a quick rant about us parents...we need to RELAX. At your kids next soccer game, don't say anything for the entire game. Pretend that you lost your voice. Sit back, watch your kid, watch the other parents, enjoy the game. Smile a lot. Let's call this "SHUT THE HELL UP FOR JUST ONE GAME CHALLENGE." Cheers!

Combining passions for Sport, Business and Teaching, I want to provide high school students with a unique opportunity to learn about the exciting and growing world of Sports Business.
I am a Manchester United fan and a fan of Ben Foster and Fozcast - The Ben Foster Podcast (and Tom Ochoa whose comment put this in my path) - - which was my introduction to Mark Goldbridge and his work. Unbeknownst to me, my teenage son already knew Mark and was consuming his content from here in the US. Community that Mark references below is so important for everything we do. If you try to create for everyone, you really create for no one. Create the work that you love and that you are passionate about. Find the audience that will come along with you because they like what you stand for and they appreciate your work. Even when that audience grows - stay true to yourself. What a great example to have a community show up in a unique way for a unique event to watch along together and share the experience of a Super Bowl in the UK in the dead of the night! Sports Business Classes - - Consuming sports through nontraditional channels is here to stay. Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, and other outlets are allowing viewers a sports experience that builds and serves a specific community. What are the advantages of this alternative experience, like the Watch-Along below? What could larger broadcasters learn from it? How have some broadcasters already altered their approach? What are the risks in this approach? Finally - - One concept to throw in BARRIERS TO ENTRY. What are the barriers to entry to begin to create a community like Mark has? (Hint - not many barriers... but hard work, consistency, persistence, resilience, and some more consistency are pretty important along the way!)

Community is hard to replicate The community we've built across That's Football and The United Stand Stand is arguably our biggest strength. Case in point, this is now the 4th year I've done a live watch along for the Superbowl and the engagement was astonishing. We never dropped below 10,000 live viewers. We trended as the number 1 livestream in the UK. The stream racked up over 300k total views. The strength of those numbers and the fact this is a totally different sport than normal for us, and the fact we were live between 11pm and 4am is testament to the engagement of our fans. I believe better community building is where rights-holders, brands and media entities of the future should be focusing their energy.

There are many that ask what we do...and sometimes it's tough to put it in one sentence. So I thought I might show you. We connect the businesses with youth and school sports programs, to help give back to the organizations that have made us who we are today. In short...Building Stronger Kids Together...Growing Stronger Communities! #youthsports #growth

Can anyone help Rosie?
Reaching out to my network for some support. Please share! I appreciate that you are all busy, but I'm hoping you can help. Bus(es) required! Some of our local primary schools and our local Gaelic Football Club has been let down by a bus company and needs to sort out transport ASAP for 40 kids Friday and 30 youngsters (+ a handful of teachers/coaches) Saturday who are all geared up to play in Manchester at the Northern British Gaelic Sports games for youth. In essence, 3 Coatbridge primary schools, boys & girls, on Friday the 7th of June (around 40 travelling) and, Coatbridge Davitts GFC boys and girls teams competing on Saturday the 8th of June (approximately 30-35 travelling in total: my son, Declan, included). Transport is needed to travel from Coatbridge to Manchester and back each day – departing 5am and return for 6pm. We have been fundraising to allow these children to participate in this fantastic event. The volunteer club coaches really don't want to let them down. Gaelic Football in our community is free to all, with training and local tournaments included. We pass on football boots, trainers and sports clothes to help families in need: other community activities are involved too. Please help by reaching out to bus companies and people you know, who might just know someone else. Thanks in advance.

The implications of underfunding grassroots sports clubs will likely have huge negative impacts on the future of British sport in the coming years. A problem that is only going to get worse as member numbers increase, putting even more pressure on smaller clubs. Trackchat is designed to be a cost-effective, simple, yet elegant solution to club management. It has everything a club needs, from GDPR to safeguarding, from membership management to analytics, all within one platform. This would allow clubs to effectively handle future demand, as well as the growing lack of funding!

Did you know that youth who participate in sports are more likely to excel academically, develop strong social skills, and lead healthier lives? 📊✨ Here are some powerful stats about youth sports: - 95% of Fortune 500 executives participated in high school sports. - Kids who play sports are 1.5 times more likely to go to college. - Regular physical activity can improve academic performance by up to 40%. - Sports teach teamwork, discipline, and resilience. They help build confidence and foster lifelong friendships. But many underserved youth miss out due to a lack of resources. Join us in making a difference!
