State of Play Southeast Michigan
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN TABLE OF CONTENTS WELCOME 1 SCOREBOARD 2 THE 8 PLAYS 6 CALL FOR LEADERSHIP 22 GAME CHANGER 26 The Promise of Pro Teams IDEAS 28 APPENDICES 30 ENDNOTES 40 Report funded by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, with guidance provided by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan THE VISION Southeast Michigan communities in which all children have the opportunity to be active through sports WELCOME Southeast Michigan is one of the most diverse regions in the United States, from any number of perspectives. It covers broad swatches of farmland, suburbs, and urban neighborhoods. The region is also home to both affluent and low-income neighborhoods. Half of the state’s population lives in Metro Detroit, where families of many types and ethnicities—African American, Arab American/Middle Eastern, Native American, Hispanic/Latino, whites, and many others—pursue their slice of the evolving, often elusive American Dream. The region features riverfront and inland parks, 17 Fortune 500 corporations, world-class universities, and professional sports teams in four of the major leagues. Opportunity and diversity of challenge are the defining features of youth sports in the region, as well. This report offers an independent assessment of the state of play for kids and sports in the seven-county region comprising Southeast Michi- gan—Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, Livingston, Monroe, and St. Clair counties. It is anchored in the notion that all stakeholders will benefit if all children in the region, regardless of zip code or ability, are provided access to a quality sport experience. We know this from the body of research that has emerged over the past decade establishing the myriad benefits of physical activity.

Brand & Events Overview
BRAND & EVENTS OVERVIEW WOLFPACK NINJA COMPANIES OVERVIEW The Wolfpack Ninja Companies established in 2016, are building the sport of Obstacle Racing, which has gained global recognition through the American Ninja Warrior television show. The Wolfpack Ninja Companies are a collaboration between Noah Kaufman MD, Ian Dory, Meagan Martin and GF Capital Private Equity (“GF Capital”). GF Capital has a storied history investing in and operating successful live event and entertainment assets such as Blue Man Group (which GF Capital recently sold to Cirque du Soleil), the Longines Masters (equestrian show jumping), as well as the New York Open and Atlanta Open (professional Men’s ATP tennis events). The initial phase of Wolfpack’s plan is to produce high quality live events in which the top Ninjas compete and spectators engage in a series of interactive experiences with the Ninjas. These experiences include interactive training on the obstacle course and one-on-one sessions during the two day event. The ultimate goal of Wolfpack is two-fold: (a) build Ninja racing into a legitimate professional sport, and (b) to foster a passion for fitness and activity in today’s youth globally. To this end, Wolfpack has contracted with over 35 of the top Ninja athletes. These ninjas are strong supporters of the company’s mission and obligated to fulfill participation and promotional requirements for Wolfpack events. Wolfpack operated two marquee events in 2017, attracting over 10,000 Ninja fans to the greater Denver area, where the Wolfpack is headquartered. Over the course of 2017, Wolfpack was able to develop and refine its event format, steadily increasing production value and customer experience – and is now in a unique position to capitalize on its intellectual property to create a new, exciting sport and to invigorate millions of children worldwide.

Easton Girl Competes on American Ninja Warrior Junior Television Show
Easton Girl Competes on American Ninja Warrior Junior Television Show For Easton Conn. resident, Jordan Carr, 13, the road to competing on Season 2 of American Ninja Warrior Junior, the youth edition of the famed American Ninja Warrior show, was a hard-won effort. “I’d been a competitive climber for almost a decade when. I saw the first season of ‘ANWJR’ on TV. Obstacle course racing requires a lot of upper strength, just like climbing, and I really wanted to try it,” Jordan said. Jordan’s persistence paid off and will be on national display on April 17 at 6 p.m. when the program is slated to air on Universal Kids. See the competition videos below for a preview of her strength and grit. Jordan Carr shows grit and perseverance as she competes at the USA Climbing 2019 New England Divisional Championship with her broken ankle in a cast. Her achievement began with a broken leg in December of 2018. After weeks of begging her parents to take her to a ninja competition, she convinced them to let her go to New Jersey with a friend. “I’d never trained ninja before so I wasn’t familiar with a lot of the obstacles,” Jordan remembers. ” I got hung up on one, fell off at a weird angle, and broke my tibia and fibula. But I came in first.” Although it prevented her from going to another ninja competition for a while, the broken leg didn’t stop her from competing at the USA Climbing New England Bouldering Divisional two months later.
