The Player Pathway Program partners with clubs to professionally organize and manage their tournaments. Through this partnership, clubs are able to host high-quality events without the administrative burden.
In exchange for these services, the Player Pathway Program receives a nominal partnership fee per team, which is negotiated depending on the level of support required and the market.
This structure allows clubs to:
- Increase tournament revenue
- Reduce operational workload
- Deliver a professionally run event experience
What will PPP do if my club hires them to run our event?

Will PPP be onsite managing the event?
PPP Events will provide onsite staff to manage and operate the tournament. Clubs are asked to supply a small number of volunteers to assist as field marshals.
How much does PPP cost to run my club’s event?
PPP Event pricing is based on tournament location and is structured as a flat per-team fee, not a percentage. This allows clubs to budget with confidence and keep more revenue from their events. There are no upfront costs; fees are billed only after the tournament concludes. If an event is canceled due to low registration, PPP Events is not paid.
Once my club hires PPP, what is the role of the club?
Once your club hires PPP Events, your role is simple and streamlined. Your club retains full ownership and control of the event while PPP Events manages the majority of the operational workload.
Club Responsibilities:
- Point of Contact: One designated club representative to serve as the primary contact
- Accounting: All tournament revenue is collected and retained by the club
- Field Access: Club secures fields and manages any required field setup
- Volunteers: Club provides a limited number of volunteers to assist as field marshals
- Awards Presenter: Club provides a board member to present awards; PPP Events coordinates the presentation
PPP Events’ goal is to remove the day-to-day operational burden so your club can focus on what matters most—supporting players, coaches, and families.
How many events does PPP run?
PPP Events currently operates 20+ tournaments each year. While our organization is based in Maryland and most events take place within the state, PPP Events serves as our mobile tournament arm, allowing us to deliver event management services in multiple states.
We operate year-round and are equipped to support clubs and municipalities with tournament management wherever and whenever help is needed.
