Samp's Spotlight: New Partnerships, a Stacked Rebounder Lineup, and What's Coming Next

By Elliott Sampley, CEO of Web Flex Sports

Season's here. Trucks are loaded, fields are getting dragged, and my phone's ringing with coaches asking what's new. Quick answer: a lot.

Here's where we are heading into this year, and what I want you to know about before everybody else figures it out.

Two partnerships I'm genuinely excited about

We don't bring on new partners often. When we do, it's because the product holds up to the same standards we hold our own gear to. Two recent ones are worth your time.

Portolite. They make pitching mounds and mats, and not the kind that show up at your door looking like they were shipped from a discount catalog. Theirs are light enough to actually travel with, durable enough to take real reps, and built for arms at every level from youth ball up through the pros. Pair a Portolite mound with a Web Flex screen, target, and rebounder, and you've got a full bullpen setup you can roll into any field, gym, or backyard. That's the goal, gear that travels with the program, not against it.

Custom netting and batting cage manufacturing.

We've partnered with multiple netting manufacturers so we can now build custom cage and netting systems sized to your space, your program, and your budget. Backyard cage for a kid who wants to hit at home? Done. High school field that needs a new full-size cage? Done. Pro-level facility build-out? Done. One call, one vendor, one team to deal with, that's the whole point.

If you've been spending half your time chasing three different suppliers to outfit a single facility, those days are over. We're a one-stop shop now and we mean it.

The year of the rebounder

I've been telling our team for months: this is the year of the rebounder for us. We've put real engineering hours into this lineup and it shows.

• 9x9 Pro Series Rebounder. Big surface, built for full-team fielding work and reaction drills. If you've got a roster of infielders cycling through reps, this is the one.
• 7x7 Pro Series Rebounder. Same Pro Series build quality, smaller footprint. Perfect for tight cage space, solo workouts, or when you just don't need the 9x9 footprint.
• The Ultimate Rebounder. This one's a different animal, and it's coming. I'm not going to spoil it, but if you're on our list, you'll see it before the public does.

All three are built to the same Pro Series standard you've come to expect from us. Consistent return, real durability, frames that don't bend the first time somebody puts a ball through them.

What else is coming

New screens. Smarter accessories. A few things I'm not ready to talk about yet because the prototypes are still on my desk.

The short version: if you've been watching what we've put out the last two years, this year is going to be more of that, but faster, and with a bigger catalog. We've grown. The team has grown. And the gear we're rolling out reflects it.

How to get in early

If you're outfitting a program for the season, high school, college, travel ball, training facility, anything, call us at 844-864-0888 before you lock in your equipment budget elsewhere. We do bulk pricing every week and the new partnerships open up options you couldn't get from us a year ago.

And if you've got something you wish existed and nobody's built yet, tell us. Half the products in our catalog started as a coach saying "I wish someone would just make me a..."

Have a good season.
