Kreshmore Group Provides Advisory Services in the Youth Sports Marketplace

LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The U.S. youth and amateur sports industry, a $19.2 billion market in 2019, is a robust and maturing marketplace that is expected to grow exponentially by 2026. Sports organizations, governing groups, and investors are all seeking to capture a segment or segments of this industry and are continuously analyzing markets to expand into which require broad industry knowledge, expertise, and know-how.

Sports tourism, travel, accommodations, staffing, equipment, marketing, program and event management, concessions, facility construction or improvements, advertising and communications, hospitality, and technology are all intertwining segments that collectively have contributed to the proliferation of youth and amateur sports. This industry requires expertise that goes beyond yesteryear’s organized sports approach – to launch or revamp organized sports models and/or programs successfully, requires specialized preparedness plus comprehensive business expertise that transcends what happens in the rink, on the court or on the field.
