EL1

EL1 is a national sports training company created by athletes, coaches and educators who believe in the transformative power of sports to make a difference in people’s lives both on and off the field.

WHO WE ARE

We provide expert instruction and a full suite of administrative solutions in the service of athletes, teams, organizations, tournaments, and events – primarily in baseball and softball.

Using a unique business model that emphasizes cooperation rather than competition with the youth sports ecosystem, we create numerous pathways to partnership for facility owners, league operators, and team coaches.

WHAT WE DO

BASEBALL

Our EL1 Baseball and Dodgers Training Academy divisions provide expert training to teams, individuals, and coaches in all facets of the game.

SOFTBALL

Our female-led staffs at Softball University and Dodgers Training Academy offer lessons, camps, clinics, and team training.

QUICKBALL

EL1 Quickball provides a high-speed, low-pressure entry point into the games of baseball and softball for young kids, and fun developmental and mechanical training for older athletes.

FOOTBALL

RISE Football Academy operates in Washington State, providing training, camps, and competitive play in 5-on-5, 7-on-7, and tackle football formats.

POWERED BY

EL1’s “Powered By” is a full suite of back-of-house administrative and on-turf training services for baseball and softball teams.

ACCESS

We work closely with Major League teams to design and run programming for underserved communities – anything from dedicated camps to free facility time to equipment donations to initiatives to identify and train coaches and mentors.

TOURNAMENTS

Premier Sports Tournaments is our umbrella division for several formerly independent tournament brands, which combined offer more than 100 annual events in the Pacific Northwest, Southwest, and Mid-Atlantic.

MLB & EL1

In 2022, EL1 Sports and Major League Baseball forged a partnership agreement designed to grow accessibility and engagement in youth baseball and softball. The innovative multiyear deal includes a revenue-sharing component that makes MLB a partial owner of EL1 and will create an ongoing source of funding for grassroots programs such as MLB’s Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) and participatory programs such as PLAY BALL.
