Fairfield, Conn. – November 06, 2026 -- An investor group led by longtime Chief Executive Officer Charley Biggs has completed the acquisition of eCamps Sports Network from PlayMetrics, returning the youth sports camp operator to independent ownership. The announcement did not disclose financial terms.
PlayMetrics portfolio review drives the divestiture
PlayMetrics sold the business after reviewing its entire portfolio to determine which units support its core youth sports operations platform. eCamps had belonged to the Stack Sports portfolio before that company combined with PlayMetrics in 2025.

The buyers include existing strategic stakeholders and private investors with experience in youth sports, experiential businesses and digital marketing. Biggs remains CEO and will lead the company's next expansion phase.
The group is expected to accelerate growth initiatives across flag, football, volleyball, lacrosse, field hockey, soccer, softball and tennis, as well as other youth sports verticals.
Operator has hosted more than 250,000 athletes in two decades
Founded more than two decades ago, eCamps has hosted over 250,000 athletes through a nationwide portfolio of camps, showcases, clubs and leadership programs. It operates and partners with many of the best-known brands in youth sports instruction and athlete development.
Biggs earmarks spending on technology, safety and staffing
Biggs said the completed transaction lets the company keep investing in technology, operations, safety, staffing and program growth. He added that eCamps will continue building partnerships with coaches, schools and organizations nationwide.
