2M Athletics partners with owners of youth sports clubs, tournaments, and camps — coming in as operators and partners to help you grow the right way.
We work with operators of youth sports clubs, tournaments, and camps who have built something real — and have real ambitions for where it goes from here.
Most owners we talk to got into this because they love youth sports. They've built something that works. But at some point, growth starts running into real limits — and the things that got you here aren't always enough to get you where you want to go.
That's the gap we fill. We come in as majority partners and hands-on operators — not as a silent investor waiting for quarterly updates.
When we come in, we're not handing things off to a management team and checking in once a quarter. We're in it with you.
We bring the resources to invest in the things that actually move the needle — new hires, better facilities, expanded programming — without disrupting what's already working.
We take on real operational responsibility. Scheduling, staffing, systems, growth planning — we dig into the work alongside you, not from a distance.
The brand families know, the coaches who built your culture, the way things feel on game day — that doesn't change. We build on what you've created, not over it.
Taking on a partner is a big decision. Here's how we try to make it a straightforward one.
No jargon, no surprises. Here's what working with us actually looks like.
We start with a casual call — just us getting to know your business and what you're trying to do. No commitment, no paperwork.
If there's a fit, we spend time understanding your operation — the people, the programs, the community. Not just the numbers.
We put together a straightforward proposal. What we're offering, what we're expecting, what the partnership looks like. No games.
Once we're partners, we show up and do the work — focused on building something better than either of us could do alone.
We've both spent our lives in youth sports — as players, as coaches, and as fans. That's what drives us, and it's the lens through which we look at every business we work with.
Paul played competitive youth and college sports and went on to coach youth soccer. Before starting 2M, he spent years helping organizations grow through operations and strategy work.
Max played competitive youth and college sports and competed internationally, winning gold at the Maccabi Games. Before 2M, he focused on helping medium-sized businesses grow as both an operator and a partner.
We come in as majority partners and active operators. The exact split depends on the business, but we always want the founder to retain meaningful ownership and stay involved.
That's up to you. Some owners want to stay heavily involved — great. Others want to step back from certain parts. We figure out the right roles together based on what you actually want.
Youth sports clubs, tournament operators, and camp businesses across all sports. If you've got a real customer base, a track record, and a clear sense of where you want to go — let's talk.
We move as fast or as slow as makes sense for you. Once we agree on terms, we work hard to close quickly so we can start focusing on growth together.
The goal is they see the same brand and coaches — just with better programs, better facilities, and fewer gaps in the experience over time.
Totally fine. A lot of owners we talk to are still early in thinking about this. An early conversation costs nothing and helps you understand your options without committing to anything.
Reach out and one of us will get back to you personally within 48 hours.
Whether you have something specific in mind or you're just starting to think about what's next, we're happy to have that conversation.
