Stronger Leadership. Smarter Decisions. Greater Impact.
Join an exclusive group of Youth Sports Executives dedicated to leadership excellence and club success.

What is a Leadership Circle?
A Leadership Circle is an exclusive, curated group of 8 youth sports executives committed to sharing insights, solving challenges, and driving meaningful change. These small, structured peer groups offer a confidential, non-competitive environment where members exchange ideas, tackle pressing issues, and elevate leadership skills.

How Leadership Circles Work
Every 45 days, Members participate in a virtual 2-hour video meeting. All issues to be resolved are submitted by members before the meeting. One Member also presents for upto 18 minutes on a hot topic or best practice.
Every 90 days, members engage in a longer 4-hour virtual session designed for deep discussions on strategic leadership topics and complex club management issues. These extended meetings allow for more in-depth problem-solving and presentations.
Once a year, members convene for an in-person, half-day Leadership Circle retreat as part of a 3 day Leaders in Youth Sports Conference. This awsome event offers face-to-face networking, high-level strategy discussions, and expert insights, strengthening relationships and reinforcing leadership growth.
Members have an exclusive opportunity to attend a monthly webinar focused on key leadership topics proposed by the Membership. These webinars feature industry experts, experienced leaders, and peers from outside their regular circle, providing fresh perspectives and valuable insights.
Between meetings, Members are encouraged to back-channel, collaborating in small groups or one-on-one to solve challenges and support each other in real time. These connections create a continuous learning loop, allowing members to apply insights, refine strategies, and accelerate progress between the structured 45-day meetings.
