What Play by Play Sports Broadcasting Camps does

Play by Play Sports Broadcasting Camps, legally Sports Broadcasting Camps LLC, is a privately held sports education business founded in 2002 by Jeremy Treatman and headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The company designs and operates sports broadcasting training programs for youth and young adults ages 8 to 25+, primarily delivered through one-week day and overnight summer camps in 13 cities across the US (Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, NY/NJ, Philadelphia, Seattle, South Florida, Washington D.C.) plus Toronto, Canada. Programmatic instruction covers sports talk radio, podcasting, PTI-style debate, sports anchoring, play-by-play, sideline reporting, sports social media, and influencer training, with celebrity guest speakers drawn from ESPN, TNT, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, MLB Network, and Bleacher Report, plus access to professional stadium and studio environments.

The business model is direct-to-consumer, transacted entirely through the company's website (built on Squarespace), with tiered one-time tuition payments: $895 per day camper, $1,695 per overnight camper, $1,025 for the Advanced Workshop at MNYK Studios, $695 for virtual summer camp, $375 for year-round virtual activities, $111/hour for private Zoom training, and $2,625+ for Parent Child Weekends. Revenue also includes branded apparel, digital gift cards, and customized birthday/group events. The company partners with university campuses and professional sports venues (Wells Fargo Center, loan Depot Park) as host locations rather than owning real estate. With 1-10 employees and no disclosed institutional funding, the business operates as a founder-led LLC with co-CEOs Jeremy Treatman and Steven Goldstein, supported by a small team including Camp Director Neil Hartman, Director of Digital Marketing Jena Polyak, Director of Camper Outreach Zeke Sprague, and Minor League Baseball broadcaster Adam Giardino.

The customer base is fundamentally consumer-parent B2C, with named cohorts of alumni (Adam Lefkoe, Courtney Cronin, Chris Lewis, Sarah Barshop, Scott Braun, Jason Dumas, D.J. Sixsmith, Harris Rubenstein) cited as evidence of professional placement. In 2020 the company introduced virtual programming via Zoom, which it has retained as a year-round recurring offering alongside the seasonal summer camp portfolio.
