About Triple Crown Sports:
Based in Fort Collins, CO., Triple Crown Sports has been producing events in youth athletics and the college ranks for more than 35 years.
In college athletics, TCS runs both the preseason and postseason WNIT basketball events and produces the men’s and women’s Cancun Challenge tournaments in November, which have been recognized by Sports Illustrated as a top-5 destination tournament for D-I basketball programs. The Puerto Vallarta College Challenge has quickly become a favorite preseason destination tournament amongst D-I softball programs. In 2017, the event featured No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 2 Auburn and was played in front of a national audience on ESPNU. Using its success from 25 years of running the NIT in women’s basketball, TCS successfully introduced the concept to D-I softball and volleyball in 2017 with the creation of the NISC and NIVC.
In youth athletics, TCS fastpitch tournaments (including the 1,000-team Sparkler/Fireworks event) draw the nation’s finest club programs, and hundreds of college coaches attend TCS events for recruiting purposes. TCS produces the Omaha Slumpbuster, which is the world’s largest youth baseball tournament held during the NCAA College World Series. Each year more than 500 teams from 40 states arrive in Omaha for the event.
TCS is quickly becoming one of the top brands on the club volleyball scene with the success of the Triple Crown Volleyball NIT in Salt Lake City, UT. In 2018, the event will draw more than 440 teams from around the country with nearly every division I head coach in attendance to recruit.
