Agency’s First-of-Its-Kind Athlete Experience to Be Blueprint for Creating Thriving Sports Communities
BEAVER, PA (January 31, 2023) – M:7 Sports Inc., an integrated sports agency located in Beaver County, announced plans to launch its first indoor sports complex at the new Stefanik Industrial Park — Beaver County’s premier business park. The nearly 38,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility is expected to be operational by June 1st and feature 10,500 sq. ft. of artificial turf, three full-size basketball courts, and 7,500 sq. ft. of flex space for additional fitness and health partnerships.
True to M:7 Sports’ athlete-first model, the complex is to be the epicenter for everything athletes and their teams need — from practice, tournament, and workout space; to marketing and communications solutions; to merchandise and NIL opportunities.
“Our agency’s name reflects a passage in Matthew 7 where we are encouraged to seek a narrow path and not just follow the crowd,” said M:7 Sports CEO Jim Christiana. “That’s what we’re doing here. We want this to be an invaluable resource for local athletes, coaches and schools, and the heart of a strong, healthy sports community.”
For local programs that lack on-site capacity and resources or want to save time and money on travel costs to facilities in other areas, M:7’s complex gives schools and coaches the ability to rent space and host practice sessions, overnight camps, regional tournaments, training seminars, and more. It also gives individual athletes a local, all-season space to hone their skills and build their athletic brands year-round, no matter the conditions outside.
Just 12 minutes from the Pittsburgh International Airport, Stefanik Industrial Park is the first building travelers see when entering Beaver County on I-376W.
“Stefanik Industrial Park is perfect for us with its large, flexible space options and ideal location as a gateway to a county which boasts a rich history of athletic excellence,” said Christiana. “The Stefanik family has been serving Beaver County for generations, so it’s not surprising that Holly and JJ Stefanik built a world-class business park that will serve this area for decades.”
“We see enormous opportunity and a market for our unique integrated athlete experience. It’s the culmination of everything we’ve been working toward since starting M:7 Sports,” said Jen Nolfi, M:7 Sports COO. “Now we’re bringing it all together to empower young athletes and local teams by giving them the facilities and training areas they need to thrive.”
A proud member of the Sports Events & Tourism Association — a primary network for communication and information sharing on all topics relating to the sports events and tourism industry, M:7 Sports has yet to finalize the name for its facility.
“We’re actively engaging with potential partners for a multi-year agreement on the naming rights, and we are hopeful to announce that partner in the very near future,” Christiana said. “The visibility of this complex along I-376 will give that named-partner enormous exposure to almost twenty thousand commuters every day, but more importantly, it will remind thousands of visitors inside the facility that their company is investing in our future by providing the next generation with the resources they need to succeed.”
