WILMINGTON, Mass. — 3STEP Sports, the largest youth sport event and club operator in the
nation, has named Go4Ellis its official athletic training services provider through a partnership
that will connect coaches, tournament directors, leagues and camps directly with on-demand
athletic trainers.
Launched on the premise that an athletic trainer should be present at every game, camp or
clinic, Go4Ellis is a platform that streamlines the process of finding and hiring per diem athletic
trainers and concurrently provides an accessible and valuable opportunity to athletic trainers
nationwide looking to offer their services.
Founded in 2016, 3STEP Sports operates more than 1,100 events and dozens of clubs for
youth athletes spanning 34 states and across seven sports: baseball, basketball, field hockey,
football, lacrosse, softball and volleyball.
Hosting premiere tournaments, clinics and camps, as well as many of the most recognized
clubs nationwide, 3STEP Sports annually serves more than 1.8 million athletes.
By empowering tournament directors and coaches across different divisions with the Go4Ellis
platform, which includes a user-friendly app, 3STEP Sports leadership hopes to make all
sports safer and allow athletes to get the most out of their experience by focusing on training,
performance and competition.
“As our organization continues to expand and provide world-class experiences across a
growing number of sports and events and in different parts of the country, it becomes
paramount that we staff each and every engagement—no matter how small—with professional
athletic training services,” said David Geaslen, Founder & Managing Partner of 3STEP Sports.
“Go4Ellis is a resource that allows us to ensure a high level of safety at all of our tournaments,
camps, showcases and clinics. Anywhere we are hosting athletes, we want to provide a safety
net to ensure that, in the inevitable scenario where an athlete suffers an injury, he or she is able
to receive swift attention from qualified medical professionals.”
Conceptualized by longtime athletic trainer and current company Chief Medical Officer, Ellis
Mair, NXTsports founder and current Go4Ellis CEO, Andy Hayes, the platform’s genesis was in
response to the challenges of hiring athletic trainers for NXTsports’ national tournament
footprint.
The Go4Ellis platform currently provides connectivity to over 10,000 athletic trainers, and that
number continues to grow. More than 1,500 event operators utilize Go4Ellis, and the platform
has so far provided more than 38,000 hours of staffing for athletic trainers. Additionally, all of
the trainers on the Go4Ellis platform are members of the National Athletic Trainers Association.
“Go4Ellis is excited to partner with one of the industry leaders in youth sports to promote
health and participant safety. We applaud 3STEP Sports for their dedication to providing
thousands of athletes access to athletic training services across the country, " commented
Andrew Hayes, CEO of Go4Ellis.
