CURVE Sports

What CURVE Sports does

CURVE Sports, headquartered in Tampa, Florida and launched on February 5, 2026, operates a unified baseball-first platform that supports independent youth baseball clubs, athletes, and families. The company was formed by combining two predecessor entities founded by CEO Sandy Ogg, a former Blackstone operating partner: Diamond Allegiance, a partnership network of independent travel baseball organizations, and CURVE Test Centers, an objective athlete testing and longitudinal performance tracking system. The platform follows a 'Test. Train. Compete. Recruit.' development philosophy, providing standardized BALL/BODY/BRAIN performance assessments (including baseball metrics, movement quality, and cognitive measures such as vision, reaction time, and processing speed), a proprietary Curve Score benchmark, and reporting tools that allow players to compare themselves against college-level peers. Mobile and web experiences are delivered through the official CURVE Sports App, powered by The Futures App, and via Test Center locations including partnerships with USA Prime New England and LakePoint Sports.

CURVE Sports serves three primary segments: independent youth baseball clubs (B2B partnership customers), families of youth baseball/softball players, and the athletes themselves. The company reports a network of 70+ clubs representing more than 15,000 players, 1,400 teams, and 4,200 coaches across 15+ U.S. states, with named partners including CBA Baseball, Iowa Sticks, GBG Baseball, Indiana Bulls, Power Baseball, Pitch 2 Pitch, Knights Knation, NorCal Baseball, Marucci Prospects, Southern Squeeze, KSA Bombers, and Dakota Selects. Revenue is generated through negotiated club membership/Allegiance subscription fees (multi-year contracts), usage-based testing services, and operational infrastructure services (including cost-saving programs such as Engine travel). The go-to-market is operator-led and partnership-based: CURVE acquires or partners with established independent clubs while preserving their brands, leadership, and culture, and provides shared infrastructure, technology, development systems, and capital support.

The company is backed by Weatherford Capital, a private investment firm with over $1 billion in AUM founded by Drew, Sam, and Will Weatherford, with additional investment from The Ogg Family and Matthew Scattarella (Managing Partner & Chief Investment Officer). The stated growth strategy targets approximately 30 'super clubs' across roughly 100 total clubs nationwide, supported by a leadership team of Ogg as CEO, Heather Ogg as COO, Michael Ogg as CRO, Tom Judge as CMO, and a collegiate advisory board including head coaches from Michigan, Clemson, Florida, and Oregon State. Strategic partnerships extend the ecosystem into recruiting (NCSA, Prep Baseball Report), travel (Engine), and philanthropy (Diamond Sports Foundation).
