What You’ll Do

As an Event Director with Prep Network, you’ll take the lead in delivering high-quality, well-organized, and memorable athletic events within your region. You’ll oversee all aspects of event execution—from setup to closing—ensuring that each event runs seamlessly and reflects Prep Network’s commitment to professionalism, safety, and inclusivity. Working closely with our Event Operations Team, you’ll collaborate to align on logistics, staffing, and event execution, ensuring a smooth experience both on-site and behind the scenes.

In addition to our content, Prep Network is the top event operator in the U.S., hosting 175+ tournaments annually. We offer a combination of top-tier competitions and extensive media exposure for attending teams.

Prep Network isn’t your average sports company—we’re all about helping student‑athletes succeed and creating an awesome workplace.
