At League Sports Foundation, we take pride in our exceptional customer service. We are committed to supporting the youth in our community and will continue to back local non-profits. League Sports Foundation was created to help provide a safe, enjoyable, and competitive environment where players will make a commitment to improve their skills and be part of a team. Winning will never be more important than teamwork and sportsmanship. Our sports leagues, tournaments and events will not only help teach youth to be better players in their respective sport, but also be better people.
With a diverse array of athletes, parents, coaches, and scouts regularly visiting our complex, the opportunities for exposure are limitless. Through strategic partnerships and strong community support, the League Sports Foundation aims to enhance our region both economically and culturally by establishing the only state-of-the-art, all-turf outdoor complex in Michigan.
A GEM IN OUR OWN BACKYARD
Sports Tourism is a common term now, but it was largely unheard of until around 12 years ago, and one of the fastest growing sectors in tourism according to the United World Tourism Agency.
According to the Sports Events and Tourism Association (SETA), sports tourism generated over $90 billion dollars in economic impact across the U.S. in 2021. Sports tourism provides communities big and small millions of dollars in economic impact each year.
Troy will claim a share of this market by welcoming teams to tournaments from all over the country and Canada.
Sports tourism is projected to grow by 12% each year through 2027.
Our complex is expected to boost the Troy economy by more than $7 million in the first five years of existence.
We anticipate at least 100,000 athletes, coaches, visitors, and scouts to regularly visit our complex in the first year.
SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY
On any given weekend, thousands of young athletes across the nation utilize their talents in baseball, football, soccer, tennis, volleyball and lacrosse. Most of these events occur in complexes developed explicitly for amateur sports.
The economic impact on local communities can be divided into three categories: direct, indirect, and induced.
Directimpact includes local spending at hotels, restaurants, attractions, retailers, transportation costs and entry fees. Indirect impact is defined as purchasing goods and services and the impact on the supply chain. Induced impact encompasses employee spending—either directly or indirectly associated with sports tourism.
A sports complex benefits not only athletes and sports enthusiasts, but also the entire society – it answers the needs of the community, helps people socialize, has a positive impact on the development of sports in the region, and boosts the local economy.
