ETS Performance Expands with New Facilities

ETS Performance, a leader in youth sports training, has recently made headlines by unveiling plans for significant expansion across the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Established as the first national privately-owned non-franchise youth sports performance company, ETS Performance continues to set trends in athletic training. The organization is set to open more than ten new state-of-the-art training facilities, aiming to empower young athletes with elite-level mentorship and programs designed specifically for ages 8 to 18.

Location Highlights

The new facilities will be strategically located in:

• - Novi, Michigan
• - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
• - Waukegan, Illinois
• - Batavia, Illinois
• - Spokane, Washington
• - Cordova, Tennessee
• - Clarksville, Tennessee
• - Iowa City, Iowa
• - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

• - Glenbard, Illinois

Each location will offer ETS’s comprehensive training systems, which focus on improving speed, strength, agility, and injury prevention, along with enhancing mental performance. The training programs are crafted to meet individual athlete needs, ensuring that they reach their full potential.

A Commitment to Community

Jed Schmidt, CEO of ETS Performance, emphasized the significance of this expansion. He stated, "This expansion marks a pivotal moment for ETS Performance. We're not only opening new doors in communities across the country but reaffirming our commitment to nurturing young athletes and building lasting legacies." Schmidt also highlighted that the Novi facility would have special importance, as it honors the memory of Tate Meere, a tragedy victim from the Oxford High School shooting. This facility will be a hub for the 42 Foundation, promoting values of leadership, courage, and community service.

The tragic story behind Tate Meere’s legacy adds a special layer of meaning to the Novi location’s mission, making it an integral part of the community it serves. The facility aims to provide young athletes both a training ground and a space for personal growth, guided by trained professionals who are passionate about youth development.
