Here's what my extensive research shows......
ESPN RISE represents ESPN’s commitment to support, inform, inspire and connect high school athletes.
ESPN RISE is a high school sports magazine published monthly during the school year in 25 markets around the United States. Founded as SchoolSports magazine in Boston in 1997, the publication changed its name to RISE in 2006 and was purchased by ESPN in January 2008. The new brand name is now known as ESPN RISE.
Sensing the high school sports market was being undercovered by local newspapers and television stations, SchoolSports was founded in 1997 in the Greater Boston area. In addition to being one of the first publications dedicated to covering high school sports, SchoolSports also gave student-athletes a voice by allowing them to submit articles for publication in the SchoolBeat section. The magazine's distribution model was also unique, as the publication was sent directly to area high schools free of charge.
Over the next 10 years, the magazine expanded to 25 markets. All told, RISE has a monthly circulation of more than 1,000,000.
ESPN RISE assets include ESPN RISE publishing; ESPNRISE.COM; mobile and social media products; and more than 100 competitive and elite high school events, including ESPN RISE Elite 11, Elite 24, ESPN RISE Games, ESPN RISE National High School Invitational, Faster to First, Area Code Baseball and Nike Combines/Nike SPARQ Mini Camps.
