BOSTON, MA – (May 8, 2023) – 3STEP Sports, the nation’s largest and most impactful youth sports club and event operator, has announced a strategic partnership with Playeasy, the leading digital platform connecting all players in the Sporting Event and Tourism Industry (sports event organizers, destinations, sports facilities, local businesses, and event attendees) in the US. The partnership designates Playeasy as 3STEP Sports’ official sports tourism technology platform to address all facets of the industry, from site selection to event promotion.
This collaboration will connect 3STEP’s 1,000+ annual events with Playeasy’s 300+ Destinations and 12,000+ Facilities during the site selection process to bring new events to new locations. 3STEP’s event portfolio will be added to Playeasy, unlocking a new wave of sports event operators to connect with Destinations and Facilities.

“This partnership is a game changer, not only for the Playeasy platform, but for the Sporting Event & Tourism industry as a whole,” said Sean Flaherty, Co-Founder & CEO at Playeasy. “Our destination partners, large and small, will now have exclusive access to the largest youth sports organizations in the world to maximize the economic impact they can bring to their cities through sporting events, as well as to promote their local business community to millions of event participants and spectators attending events within their destination.”
Through Playeasy’s digital event pages, “things-to-do” guides and promotions, 3STEP’s 1.1+ million event participants can expect an enhanced visitor experience. Each individual 3STEP event will have its own digital directory of things-to-do in the area, along with exclusive event deals and promotions from participating businesses nearby.
