CURVE Sports Partners with Engine to Simplify Team Travel and Deliver Real Savings for Families

Operator-led youth sports platform expands member benefits through streamlined travel management, hotel savings, and centralized booking infrastructure

Tampa, FL. — CURVE Sports today announced a strategic partnership with Engine, an all-in-one travel and spend platform to streamline hotel booking and group travel management for sports teams nationwide. 

The partnership gives CURVE Sports member organizations access to Engine’s intelligent travel platform, allowing clubs, coaches, tournament operators, and families to manage team travel more efficiently while unlocking exclusive hotel savings and operational support.

The collaboration aligns with CURVE Sports’ mission to provide long-term infrastructure, operational support, and meaningful value to youth sports organizations and families across the country.

“Travel has become one of the biggest operational and financial challenges in youth sports,” said Sandy Ogg, CEO of CURVE Sports. “This partnership with Engine gives our clubs and families access to a smarter system — one that saves time, reduces stress, and creates real financial value throughout the season.”

Through the partnership, CURVE Sports organizations can access:

• Centralized travel and hotel management

• Group booking tools for teams and families

• Exclusive hotel rates and savings

• Flexible booking and cancellation support

• 24/7 customer service

• Streamlined trip management without spreadsheets or manual coordination

• Upgraded rewards to drive even more savings

Engine currently provides access to more than one million hotels, 250 airlines, and 40 car rental providers through a single platform designed to simplify sports travel logistics.

The partnership is already delivering measurable impact across the CURVE Sports ecosystem.

Based on current member organization usage, CURVE Sports families and clubs have already generated nearly $135,000 in hotel savings across thousands of travel bookings, with participating organizations seeing substantial savings across tournament and travel seasons.

Organizations currently utilizing the platform include Pitch 2 Pitch, Dakota Selects, Power Baseball, NorCal Baseball, Marucci Prospects Northern Indiana, Southern Squeeze Athletics, Panthers Baseball Club, and others.

“Dakota Selects has seen firsthand how much easier and more cost-effective team travel can become with the right systems in place,” said Drew Heidgerken, Owner of Dakota Selects. “This isn’t just about saving money — it’s about improving the experience for coaches, administrators, and families while allowing organizations to operate at a higher level.”

The partnership reflects CURVE Sports’ broader operator-led platform strategy: helping best-in-class local organizations maintain their identity and leadership while gaining access to technology, infrastructure, and national-level support systems.

“CURVE Sports is building a connected ecosystem designed to support clubs beyond the field,” said Alex Melamud, Chief Business Officer at Engine. “We’re excited to help their organizations simplify travel operations while creating meaningful savings and better experiences for families.”

Engine also supports CURVE Sports’ continued emphasis on scalable operational systems for modern youth sports organizations — allowing coaches and administrators to spend less time managing logistics and more time focused on player development and the athlete experience.
