Over 10,000 club baseball and softball teams will participate in National Championship Sports events in 2025

Rochester, Minn. (April 23, 2025) — GoRout, the leading provider of coach-to-player(s) communication technology for baseball and softball teams of all levels, today announced a partnership with National Championship Sports (NCS), to be the organization’s official coach-to-player communication system. The partnership aims to elevate on-field performance and communication across NCS Baseball, Fastpitch and Slowpitch. 

As part of the partnership, all NCS teams will receive discounted access to GoRout’s advanced Diamond sports system. NCS will amend its rule book to formally recognize GoRout’s system alongside wearable electronic communication rules.

GoRout is currently used by over 1,700 diamond sports teams across the country, from grassroots organizations to top-tier collegiate programs. The partnership with NCS will further expand their visibility and impact within the youth sports community and thousands of club tournaments nationwide. 

“This partnership gives NCS coaches access to world-class communication tools designed to maximize both preparation and performance,” GoRout CEO Mike Rolih said. “As the only coach-to-player communication system built by coaches, for coaches, we’re proud to support NCS teams as they compete at the highest level and continue developing their players on and off the field.”

In 2024, GoRout launched Diamond 2.0 – a next-generation product shaped by feedback from over 600 coaches across the country. The updated features reflect GoRout’s ongoing commitment to creating cutting-edge solutions tailored to the evolving needs of baseball and softball coaches.

“We’re excited to team up with GoRout, a leader in coach-to-player communication technology, to provide our teams with the top tools to enhance performance both on and off the field,” said Rick Melendrez Sr., member of the NCS ownership group. “GoRout’s advanced Diamond Sports System will be instrumental in boosting player development, improving game-day execution, and strengthening team engagement. We look forward to offering this innovative system to all teams participating in NCS events for the 2025 season and beyond!”
