What is ESM ACTIVE?

A network built
around your next step.

Sport moves forward through people: the athlete putting in the work, the coach opening a door, the program building a team, and the business that chooses to help.

ESM ACTIVE gives that community a place to connect. Through profiles, promotion, resources, and networking opportunities, we help people share what they do and discover what comes next.

What is ESM ACTIVE?

ESM ACTIVE is a sports community connecting athletes, coaches, schools, teams, sponsors, and business partners. It brings profiles, visibility, and opportunities together in one network.

Who can be part of the community?

Athletes at different stages of their journey, coaches, schools, clubs, teams, and businesses that want to support and connect with the sports community.

What can I add to my member profile?

Your biography, sport, position, organization, achievements, profile photo, video links, and social links. Sign in to your account to update your information and submit changes for review.

Can I create an account for free?

Yes. Create an account with Google or your email without paying, entering a credit card, or using a coupon. Save and edit profile drafts for free. A current membership and approval are required for a public directory listing.

How do memberships work?

Each profile has its own membership, billed monthly or annually according to the plan. One account can manage multiple profiles. A profile appears publicly once it is approved and its membership is current. See Memberships for prices and Terms & Conditions for the applicable terms.

How can I promote a game, clinic, or tryout?

Contact the ESM team with the event name, date, location, registration link, and promotional materials. The team can explain the available promotion options.

How do I update an existing directory listing?

If you manage the profile, make changes from My account. For a listing carried over from the original directory, contact the team with the listing name and the correction.
