Our Story.
Our Mission.
Our Brands.
Built to Elevate the Next Generation of Youth Sports
To build and operate the most impactful network of youth sports brands in the country — delivering championship competition, athlete development, media exposure, and community investment through every event we host and every brand we grow.
A future where every young athlete — regardless of background — has access to elite competition, real recognition, and a clear pathway to the next level of their athletic career. A future where the communities that host our events are better for it.
What We Stand For
Athletes First
Every decision we make starts with the athlete. From event format to recognition programs, we build experiences that serve the young people who compete on our stages.
Family Experience
We understand that youth sports is a family commitment. We design events that respect the time, investment, and passion of every family that travels to compete.
Coach & Program Support
Great coaches build great athletes. We partner with coaches and programs to create environments where they can develop their athletes and grow their programs.
Community Investment
Through Tomorrow's Elite and our broader mission, we invest in the communities that host us — leaving every destination better than we found it.
Partner Credibility
We hold ourselves to the highest standard of professionalism with every sponsor, tourism board, venue, and media partner we work with.
Long-Term Growth
We're building something that lasts. Every brand we launch, every event we host, and every athlete we recognize is part of a long-term vision for the future of youth sports.
From One Event Series to a National Brand Network
What started as a single 7v7 competition series in 2020 has grown into a multi-brand organization serving thousands of athletes, families, and communities across the country. Here's how we got here.
Launch of 7v7 Elite
Elite Travel Sports begins with the launch of 7v7 Elite — a premier 7-on-7 football competition series designed to give youth athletes a high-level competitive platform and real exposure.
Expansion of Events
Building on early momentum, we expanded our event calendar and geographic footprint, bringing 7v7 Elite competitions to new regions and welcoming hundreds of additional teams into the fold.
Growth of Competition Platform
We deepened our competition infrastructure — improving event operations, athlete experience, and the overall quality of our events to meet the growing demand from programs across the country.
Launch of Trench Battles
Recognizing an underserved segment of the game, we launched Trench Battles — a first-of-its-kind competition format dedicated to linemen, giving the trenches the spotlight they deserve.
Expansion of Athlete Recognition
We introduced and expanded athlete recognition initiatives across our brands, including Elite All-American honors and Flag Recruit — creating direct pathways for athletes to gain college exposure.
National Championship Opportunities
Elite Travel Sports grew into national championship territory with the expansion of Flag Nationals and USA7v7, giving the best programs in the country a true national stage to compete on.
Creation of Elite Travel Sports as Parent Company
With nine brands operating across competition, championship, development, and community impact, Elite Travel Sports formally established itself as the parent company — the umbrella organization behind youth sports' fastest-growing brand network.
The Story Is Still Being Written
Elite Travel Sports is still growing. New brands, new markets, new championship opportunities, and new ways to serve athletes and communities are on the horizon. Whether you're an athlete, a family, a coach, a sponsor, or a destination — there's a place for you in the Elite Travel Sports ecosystem.
