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. As the Event Director, you’ll be the driving force that brings together people, planning, and precision to create an exceptional experience for athletes, spectators, and staff alike.

Who We Are

Prep Network is a sports company that connects high school athletes with college coaches. Through our nine brands, we publish over 4,000 articles each month and actively scout talented athletes across the U.S. We aim to discover and promote promising prospects who aspire to play at the collegiate level.

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. Our 300+ showcases each year provide a platform for 25,000+ prospects to compete in front of colleges, scouts, and media outlets.

We’re pumped to have been named one of the "Best Places to Work" by Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal for four years running, and to land a spot on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. Prep Network isn’t your average sports company—we’re all about helping student‑athletes succeed and creating an awesome workplace.
