Ankored will provide compliance management across the Players Health network, giving youth sports programs one integrated platform to manage safety requirements in real time.
BOSTON, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ankored, the leading youth sports safety and compliance automation platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Players Health, a national provider of athlete safety and insurance solutions. Through this partnership, Ankored will provide compliance management across the Players Health network, giving youth sports programs one integrated platform to manage safety requirements in real time.
The integration brings background checks, a wide variety of training, safety education, forms and waivers, age and grade verification, athlete health data, and ongoing compliance tracking into a single workflow aligned directly with Players Health best practice for risk management and mitigation. The result is a significant reduction in administrative burden and a clearer path to meeting safety and insurance standards.
"Ankored gives everyone in youth sports a single source of truth for real-time safety and compliance — so organizations can protect kids, reduce risk, and operate with total confidence." said Seth Lieberman, CEO at Ankored. "This partnership with Players Health is a unique opportunity to help organizations close safety gaps with a 360 degree approach. We're enabling safety-first environments for young athletes, creating trust and driving long-term participation so sport-focused organizations can scale safely and efficiently."
Youth sports organizations traditionally rely on multiple disconnected systems to manage compliance, creating confusion, delays, and risk exposure when requirements fall through the cracks. Ankored and Players Health equip leaders so they can see exactly who is cleared, what tasks are incomplete, and where action is needed before athletes step onto the field.
"As leaders in athlete safety, our priority is making compliance easier, clearer, and more actionable for every organization we support," said Lisa McCoy, AVP of Athlete Safety at Players Health. "Partnering with Ankored allows us to support organizations with solutions that remove administrative barriers and strengthen real-time compliance. This is a meaningful step forward in creating safer environments where athletes can thrive."
