Gametime Stars SB Indoor
Gametime Stars
SB Indoor
Facility-level research examining a USSSA softball tryout, individual-player participation, modeled event economics, athlete-development infrastructure, and organizational transparency.
Approximately 117 individual players — not 117 teams
For this facility-specific USSSA tryout record, the AppSheet count represents approximately 117 individual player entries. It should not be described as a 117-team tournament.
Participants reflected in the analyzed USSSA tryout activity.
HVIOG modeled value associated with the player-entry records.
Dataset-derived average per player; not asserted as a published uniform fee.

A different pathway through the youth-sports economy
Gametime Stars SB Indoor differs from the traditional tournament facilities in the statewide research. Its relevance arises from a USSSA-associated softball tryout conducted in an indoor athlete-development setting.
The case documents a pathway of individual athlete → tryout → training facility → evaluation → competitive opportunity → sanctioning ecosystem, rather than the conventional tournament pathway of teams, games, umpires, spectators, gates and concessions.
- Softball activity in the supplied facility record.
- Approximately 117 individual player entries.
- Approximately $17,500 modeled event/entry activity.
- No modeled gate receipts.
- No modeled concession receipts.
- No modeled umpire expense.
- Event-host graphic attributes activity to Jenny Gladding.
Indoor athlete-development infrastructure
The supplied facility photographs document a substantial indoor softball training environment. The supplied team-page image provides broader organizational context across multiple age groups; it should not be conflated with the approximately 117-player USSSA tryout record.
Nonprofit claims require entity-level verification
The supplied ProPublica research should be read narrowly. An exact-name search for “Gametime Stars Fastpitch” returned no exact nonprofit result in the supplied capture, while a broader “Gametime” search produced several Oklahoma nonprofit or booster-related entries using Gametime names. That evidence does not establish that no Gametime-related nonprofit entities exist.
- Public-facing and legal entity names may differ.
- Gametime-related Oklahoma nonprofit or booster entities appear in broader search results.
- The umbrella brand, teams, boosters and facility should not automatically be treated as one legal entity.
- Further verification should focus on legal names, EINs, corporate registrations and IRS exemption records.
- No finding that Gametime-related nonprofits do not exist.
- No finding of tax or nonprofit misconduct.
- No finding that every Gametime-branded activity belongs to one entity.
- No legal conclusion based solely on a database search-result absence.

Select any graphic to open the source image. Zero-value charts are retained because the absence of modeled gate, concession and umpire activity is analytically relevant to distinguishing a tryout from a conventional tournament.
How the facility record should be read
| Research Metric | Corrected Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Participation unit | Approximately 117 individual player entries |
| Sport | Softball |
| Activity type | USSSA tryout / individual-player activity |
| Modeled entry-fee activity | Approximately $17,500 |
| Implied modeled average | Approximately $149.57 per player |
| Modeled event income | Approximately $17,500 |
| Modeled event net | Approximately $17,500 |
| Modeled economic impact | Approximately $2,900 |
| Gate fees captured | $0 |
| Concession fees captured | $0 |
| Umpire fees captured | $0 |
| Event-host attribution | Jenny Gladding, as shown in the supplied graphic |
The approximately $149.57 figure is a dataset-derived average using the approximate displayed totals. It should not be represented as the published fee charged to every participant unless separate source records establish that amount.
Gametime is an organizational-node case study
The significance of Gametime Stars SB Indoor is not the size of its modeled USSSA financial footprint. Rather, it demonstrates how a sanctioning organization can intersect with an individual-player tryout, a specialized training facility, and a broader competitive softball organization.
This expands the Hidden Valley framework beyond conventional tournament economics and helps document the modern youth-sports pathway linking player development, tryouts, facilities, technology, recruiting, competitive opportunity and sanctioning organizations.
- Athlete: approximately 117 individual players appear in the analyzed tryout activity.
- Economic: approximately $17,500 in modeled entry/event activity is associated with those player records.
- Institutional: the case connects an indoor facility, a competitive softball organization and USSSA-associated activity.
