JVC joins a rapidly growing list of major sports organizations choosing SportsEngine HQ for their affiliated clubs to manage their operations. The organization also will exclusively use Advanced Event Systems (AES), one of the product solutions offered within the SportsEngine technology platform, to support registration, management, and scheduling for the entire JVC tournament calendar.

Entering its 26th year, JVC operates with nine affiliate clubs across Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan, offering year-round training, elite competition and a commitment to player development for ages 8 to 18. In addition to club volleyball, JVC hosts more than 50-plus days of competition throughout the Midwest, including the Winter Classic, which is the largest tournament in Wisconsin, drawing more than 5,000 athletes. The organization also creates millions of dollars of economic impact in host cities each year.

“Our newly established partnership with JVC is a testament to the quality and capability of SportsEngine technology and its AES software platform to ensure a seamless experience for the tournament teams and families supporting one of the largest clubs in the U.S.,” said Dan Burquist, Senior Vice President, SportsEngine. “We congratulate JVC family for serving the youth volleyball community for more than 25 years and look forward to helping their organization grow in the years to come.”

"This collaboration will be a vital component in terms of creating access to our sport," said Kevin Voge, President of Juniors Volleyball Club. “Partnering with SportsEngine isn't just about technology, it's about aligning with a company that shares our passion for youth sports, community, and character. As we create a sustainable future for continued expansion to our mission, this partnership with SportsEngine ensures that we're operating with the best in the industry and offering enhanced experiences for our athletes, families, and staff, alike."

SportsEngine technology serves thousands of small and medium-sized youth sports organizations, tournaments, the Governing Body community, professional sports leagues, and over 1,000 municipalities with its cutting-edge suite of technology solutions to dramatically reduce the time they spend on administration and communication, allowing them to focus more time on developing their athletes.

AES makes it easy to initiate, schedule and host volleyball tournaments of all types and sizes, providing an equally intuitive online registration experience for administrators and athletes.

SportsEngine Play and Puma NXT and Pro16 Circuits Expand Video Coverage of Elite Youth Basketball Talent

The five-year extension of SportsEngine Play's official streaming partnership with the Puma NXT and Puma Pro16 youth basketball circuits will deliver live coverage of more than 10,000 games during the current 2025 season and includes a selection of top games to be streamed on Peacock.

Operated by NXTPRO Sports, the Puma NXT and Pro16 circuits showcase some of the highest-ranked college basketball prospects in the U.S. During the 2025 season, which began on March 29, more than 44 of the nation’s top recruits expected to advance to the highest levels of Division I basketball will compete. Some of the more notable prospects over the first two years of the PRO16 circuit and their college choices include: Asa Newell (Georgia), Isaiah Brown (Florida), L.J. Cason (Michigan), Chris Cenac (Houston), Nikolas Khamenia (Duke), Eric Reibe (UConn), Xavion Staton (BYU). Brown, Cenac and Khamenia either play on or are committed to three of the Final Four teams in the 2025 NCAA Championship.

In just two short years, NXTPRO/PRO16 League has emerged as the largest grassroots basketball circuit in the U.S., hosting more than 500 programs across its boys’ and girls’ divisions. The circuit also has quickly become a global hub for elite talent and diverse teams from countries, including Australia, China, Japan, Europe, Mexico, Philippines, and Canada.

About the partnership

Many of the 50-plus facilities hosting NXTPRO Sports tournaments this season are pre-equipped with intelligent cameras installed by SportsEngine Play through existing partnerships, with more facilities to follow throughout the season. The latest AI camera technology incorporated by SportsEngine Play follows game competition seamlessly to deliver a more immersive experience for viewers.

Additionally, the extended agreement will feature 10 select games each season streamed live on Peacock, which also features premier basketball from the Big Ten and BIG EAST, the NBA – returning to NBCUniversal platforms this fall – the Olympics, and more.

“The growth of NXTPRO Sports and the Puma circuit continues to set the standard in high-level youth basketball competition. We’re extremely excited to stream the new season on SportsEngine Play for families, fans and the athletes, themselves,” said Nick Busto, SportsEngine’s Vice President of Video Operations. “Connecting a premier partner like NXTPRO with our growing list of partner facilities to stream thousands of games is fantastic, but also having the relationship with an industry leading platform like Peacock to showcase select games is why this deal sets the stage for the future of youth sports broadcasting.”

As the Official Streaming and Video Partner of the Puma NXT and PRO16 leagues since 2023, SportsEngine Play provides coverage of every tournament game, which will total 53 tournaments comprising more than 10,000 games in 2025. NXTPRO Sports utilizes SportsEngine’s best-in-class video technology to enhance their members’ overall experience through an online viewing destination for both circuits, offering live and on-demand video streaming via internet-connected devices. The SportsEngine Play website also includes a tournament portal, featuring game highlights and video-on-demand tools for parents to create and compile highlight reels for their athletes.

“We are very thrilled to be growing our relationship with SportsEngine Play, Peacock, and the NBC family,” said Matt Reynolds, President of NXTPRO. “This opportunity gives our athletes the chance to be on a grand stage.”

Blue Chip Youth Sports Partners With SportsEngine To Transform Flag Football Organization Management

SportsEngine, the leading youth sports team and club management technology platform, today announced a new multi-year partnership with Blue Chip Youth Sports, one of the largest flag football organizations in the world. The collaboration names SportsEngine as the exclusive provider of online member management, registration, and payment solutions for all participating Blue Chip leagues.

SportsEngine’s collaboration with Blue Chip comes at a pivotal time for the organization as flag football continues to experience rapid growth. As the world’s fastest-growing sport, flag football is played by more than 20 million people in more than 100 countries and across all age groups and genders. According to the International Federation of American Football, 2.4 million kids under 17 are playing organized flag football in the U.S. The sport itself is set to be an official sport at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Blue Chip Youth Sports is at the forefront of this growth, with more than 40 leagues and 30,000 young athletes participating in its programs throughout North America and, most recently, Narita, Japan, its first entry into Asia. The organization’s reach continues to grow, providing flag football opportunities to youth from all walks of life and further solidifying its place as one of the largest flag football organizations globally.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Blue Chip Youth Sports to help bring their flag football leagues the benefits of SportsEngine’s cutting-edge technology,” said Dan Burquist, Senior Vice President, SportsEngine. “Our platform will help streamline operations, simplify registration and payment processes, and ultimately provide a better experience for the athletes, coaches, and parents involved in these leagues. Together, we can build a more efficient and seamless experience for all participants.”

“This partnership with SportsEngine is an exciting step forward for our organization,” said Patrick Williams, CEO, Blue Chip Youth Sports. “Their technology will enable us to better serve our athletes and their families while continuing to expand flag football to new regions and leagues. We look forward to seeing how our collaboration will improve the overall experience for everyone involved in our programs.”

With flag football gaining momentum as a mainstream sport, this partnership will help facilitate its continued growth and success, making it easier for leagues to manage their operations and for families to get involved in the sport.

SportsEngine technology serves more than 27,000 small and medium-sized youth sports organizations, tournaments, the Governing Body community, professional sports leagues and over a thousand municipalities with its cutting-edge suite of technology solutions to dramatically reduce the time they spend on administration and communication, allowing them to focus more time on developing their athletes.
