Sports Made Personal and Team ONE Lacrosse Merge to Create Chicagoland’s Premier Lacrosse Player Development Company

CHICAGO – Sports Made Personal (SMP), the Chicago area’s leading player development and personal training company, is pleased to announce that it has merged with Team ONE Lacrosse to create Chicagoland’s premier lacrosse player development company. The merger combines Team ONE’s elite travel lacrosse programming with SMP’s best-in-class infrastructure to create the area’s best and most advanced lacrosse player development platform. The Team ONE brand will be preserved and its training staff, regarded by many as Chicagoland’s best, will remain in place.

“In merging Team ONE’s top-tier teams, camps and clinics with SMP’s comprehensive resources and industry expertise, we have created a truly unique offering that will provide the area’s very best lacrosse experience,” said John Combs, Director of Team ONE. “This merger undoubtedly strengthens both brands for the ultimate benefit of the players who we are fortunate to train, and whose skill and character we are dedicated to developing.”     

Combs continued: “The resources available to Team ONE as a result of this merger will enable us to offer the most comprehensive lacrosse travel program in the Midwest, including an expanded geographic reach that ensures our ability to continue to attract the top lacrosse talent from across Northern Illinois.” Tryouts for Team One’s summer program, it’s first since the merger, will be held on December 11 at 6368 West Howard St. in Niles.
