PLANO, Texas, Aug 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Highlights

To accelerate the growth of recreational esports in the United States Stack Sports is working with Mission Control to help local groups organize. This Partnership will be the first step in a series of investments for Stack Sports in the esports space. The convergence of the largest provider of Youth Sports technology and esports will further strengthen the growth of esports while allowing existing organizations to find new ways to engage their membership.

"We could not be more excited to team up with stack sports and provide recreational esports for their clients and partners. Traditional sports organizers using esports to extend values of character and team building is an important step in achieving our mission of gathering and growing community. Aligning with the leading technology provider in recreational sports further validates the need and growth of recreational esports in the global/national community."

Through the partnership with Stack Sports, teams can now benefit from the full suite of products offered plus the flexibility to engage online through the new Mission Control app.

"We believe this is a great first step in bringing esports to the larger Youth Sports market," said Jeff Brunsberg, Chief Revenue and Strategy Officer at Stack Sports.
