This week on Buying Sandlot, we break down some of the biggest business stories shaping youth sports, starting with Rivals’ new $500 recruiting evaluations. We also dig into Otto Sport AI’s growing position in youth volleyball, the opportunity created by owning more of the tournament and travel experience, and Perfect Game’s evolving event structure as it looks to create clearer levels of competition and a more organized player pathway. We then look at TeamSnap’s push into product sampling and sponsorship and finish with new media criticisms.
