"This is an exciting step forward for NCYS and its members to share their individual and organizational stories on the big screen.  We are appreciative of The ATLX Channel and respect its focus to deliver unique and entertaining lifestyle programming," says Sally Johnson, Executive Director of the National Council of Youth Sports.  "ATLX will provide ground-breaking media exposure taking the youth sports experience to a whole new level."

ATLX (www.atlxtv.com) will launch its television network in 2014 with an extensive slate of original entertainment and informational programming, including reality, news/talk, biography, documentary, competition formats, lifestyle, technology, sports medicine and performance cooking.  The network is about transformation and storylines, taking everyday athletes into a world that used to be exclusive to only elite athletes and coaches.

NCYS is the largest organization in America serving the youth sports industry. The NCYS membership includes more than 200 organizations and corporations serving 60-million registered participants in youth sports programs.

"With its tremendous advocacy for all aspects of youth sports as well as its ground-breaking work in creating a safe and fun environment for our kids, the NCYS is the ideal partner for ATLX," said Jacob Arback, CEO, ATLX.  "We plan to actively support the NCYS and all of its members by providing increased awareness for its causes and lending the support of our network to further the NCYS mission."

While the major sports networks do a very good job of delivering live sporting events and the experience of being a fan, ATLX delivers a destination lifestyle network and the experience of being an athlete.  ATLX is re-defining what it means to be an athlete in a way that is more inclusive, personal and accessible. 

Added Mr. Arback, "Parents represent a big part of ATLX's target audience, both as participant athletes and as important role models in the community. Our partnership with the NCYS will help us provide critical resources and information for our viewers."

The ATLX Channel showcases the world of athletics, sports and physical culture. ATLX has inspiring, compelling and informative stories behind athletes at the highest levels; recreational athletes working on their game; and beginners who want to get in the game.
