Cerebro Sports, a Mark Cuban Company, has partnered with Boston (MA) based 3STEP Sports to put real numbers and objective ratings on youth basketball player careers across the 3STEP platform.
This partnership represents the new gold standard in grassroots basketball. "Our team has worked tirelessly to gather, organize and catalog basketball data from competitions around the globe to provide players, coaches, scouts, and other decision-makers the ability to easily and effectively evaluate the game of basketball. This is a monumental milestone that will have an immediate and influential impact on grassroots basketball as we know it." Ryan Girardot, Co-Founder/CEO at Cerebro Sports.
Cerebro is outspoken in its mission to facilitate meritocracy for every player in the eyes of decision-makers. Its partnership with 3STEP Sports - the largest operator of youth sports in America, behind many of its top brands - is a clear fit.

We are thrilled to work with Cerebro Sports to put together statistics and simple player evaluation metrics that matter in an easy-to-read and understandable method.
