Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with Founder and Owner of UMR Sports, Florida Vibe Team President, and the Executive Director of the American Collegiate League, Ryan Moore.

In the last couple years Ryan has been making his mark on the softball world. With his formation and success of the Florida Gulf Coast League, it has given way to the Heartland Collegiate League, the Music City Collegiate League and the Vegas Collegiate League that all run under the same umbrella, called the American Collegiate League or ACL. These leagues give college athletes the opportunity to continue playing when their college season is over and goes a long way in helping with their development and success. Ryan is also instrumental in the formation of the Florida Vibe Professional Team who are set to begin their 3rd season this summer.

We’re gonna talk to Ryan about how he got involved in the softball side of things, his amazing UMR Sport facility in Bradenton, Florida, how the ACL got formed, what the future holds and much, much more.

Ryan was an absolute blast to chat with. Definitely, one of the good guys in our game. I’m so excited to see what else is in store down the road, actually, he does drop a little breaking news in this, so keep your ears open for that one.
