Smith Entertainment Group — the parent company of the Jazz and Mammoth — announced a multi-year partnership with HealthEquity.
The HSA administrator will be an associate sponsor of the newly-launched Utah Jazz Bantam Basketball League. It will also cover full tuition and fees for up to 50 youth athletes annually.
The league is for kids in grades 3-8 and is a competitive platform for athletes "seeking a more advanced, structured, and developmental experience." It launched last weekend with close to 300 teams and over 2.2K participants.
The Jazz said they had 70K athletes in their Junior Jazz youth program earlier this year, the most of any NBA team. The Mammoth are also aggressively launching youth hockey programming in an effort to hit that number by 2029.
Included here is a recently-posted interview with Jazz owner Ryan Smith.
