TRANSFORMING
SPORTS
EL1 a national sports training company created by athletes, coaches and educators who believe in the transformative power of sport to make a difference in people's lives both on and off the field. We provide expert instruction and a full suite of administrative solutions in the service of athletes, teams, organizations, tournaments, and events - primarily in baseball and softball. Using a unique business model that emphasizes cooperation rather than competition within the youth sports ecosystem, we create numerous pathways to partnership for facility owners, league operators, and team coaches.

Programs and instructional support for athletes, families and coaches, especially those in underserved communities.

About our
Instructors
Our instructors are our heroes. They set us apart. They understand that to truly have an impact on young athletes' performance, and their lives, they have to go way beyond expectations - working with athletes as individuals and building deep, personal, consistent relationships.
