Athletic Performance

What Athletic Performance does

Athletic Performance Inc. (API) operates Maryland's premier athletic campus from a single 90,000+ square foot facility at 740 Route 3 South, Gambrills, MD, between Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington DC. The campus combines indoor and outdoor infrastructure — 40,000 sq ft of artificial turf (split between a 20,000 sq ft Sports Hall and a 19,000 sq ft Air Dome), two multi-sport Flex Courts, three outdoor courts, three 50-foot batting cages, and a 7,500 sq ft Sports Performance Center — into a diversified sports complex for youth athletes, competitive athletes, families, teams, and adults. The company runs wholly-owned sub-brand academies for baseball, basketball, lacrosse, and tennis, plus dedicated softball programming, and coordinates camps, clinics, private lessons, birthday parties, and adult leagues through strategic partnerships with Starz Gold, Peake Social, iCode, and Medical Me.

API's revenue model is multi-stream and largely transactional: hourly and seasonal facility rentals ($35–$410/hour with peak November–March vs. non-peak April–October pricing), court and turf lesson rentals for independent coaches ($35/hour first athlete, +$10/additional athlete), sport-specific private lessons and group clinics, packaged youth camps ($295–$485/week), sports performance training bundled in 6/12/18/24-session packages, tiered birthday party packages ($325–$725), and team and adult league programming. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer through the company website (athleticperformanceinc.com), an ezfacility.com online booking integration, email, and phone, with no disclosed paid marketing infrastructure. The firm is privately held with no institutional funding or parent entity disclosed; staff contact points include Stephen Vaught for facilities and rentals, Amy Shaffer and Kat Van Houten for camps, Peyton Warren for lesson rentals, and individual sport directors (Brandon Ernest for baseball, Ashleigh Newman for basketball, Meredith McAlister for softball, Zed Debebe for tennis).

Broad incumbents

• IMG Academy: Large-scale, multi-sport athletic training campus in Bradenton, FL offering performance training, sport-specific academies, camps, and collegiate placement. Comparable as a multi-sport performance complex serving serious youth athletes across many of the same sports as API. API is a regional sub-scale analog to IMG's national/international franchise.
• Athletic Republic: National franchise network of sports performance training centers focused on scientifically guided speed, strength, and conditioning programs for youth through adult athletes. Comparable to API's Sports Performance Training core offering and EXOS-certified methodology. Differs in franchise/specialty positioning vs. API's integrated multi-sport campus.

Direct peers

• Parisi Speed School: Franchise of speed, agility, and strength training centers for youth athletes, with direct overlap in athlete performance development, training package pricing models, and target demographic (elementary through high school). Comparable as a performance-training operator serving youth athletes on a recurring class/session basis.
• D-BAT Sports: National indoor baseball and softball training academy franchise offering lessons, camps, clinics, and facility use. Directly comparable to API Baseball Academy and API's softball/lacrosse academy models, including differentiated sport-specific pricing and coach-led instruction.
• Extra Innings Franchise: Network of indoor baseball and softball training facilities offering batting cages, lessons, camps, and team rentals. Directly comparable to API's turf-field and batting-cage rental model for baseball/softball, including seasonality-based pricing and per-hour facility transactions.
• TOCA Football (TOCA Soccer Centers): Operator of indoor soccer and futsal training centers with rented playing surfaces and sport-specific instruction. Directly comparable in business model (transactional facility rentals plus sport-specific lessons) and as a multi-court indoor sports complex operator.
• UVP Sports Performance (United Volleyball Performance): Multi-sport training complex offering indoor court rentals, camps, clinics, lessons, and performance training for youth athletes. Closest direct comparable to API in combining court/turf rentals, multi-sport academies, and birthday-party/event hosting under one roof.
• i9 Sports: Youth sports league and instructional program franchise operating recreational leagues, clinics, and camps across multiple sports. Comparable in target demographic (youth athletes and families), multi-sport programming breadth, and complementary use of third-party facilities for programming delivery.

Regional players

• Big League Indoor Sports: Mid-Atlantic operator of large indoor sports complexes offering turf and court rentals, lessons, camps, and tournaments. Directly comparable in facility type, regional Mid-Atlantic market orientation, and diversified facility-based programming model.
