Youth sports operators face tightening insurance markets, rising compliance expectations, and operational risks many leaders don’t yet fully appreciate.
Join LeagueApps, Vertical Insure, Ankored, and Player’s Health on April 16 at 1 PM ET for a candid conversation on what’s changing and how to adapt.
You’ll walk away with practical steps to strengthen your organization’s foundation without losing focus on what matters most: creating great experiences for kids.

NextUp is coming to Dallas!
For the first time, we’re taking the conference on the road — bringing the real talk, big ideas, and game-changing connections straight to youth sports leaders and operators in the South.
Spots are limited by design, so everyone in the room is there for a reason — and you’ll walk away with real relationships and strategies you can use right away.
