PSL wins two National Awards

Josiah Gilliam News, Programs

Last week, the PUMP Staff had the opportunity to attend the Annual Sport and Social Industry Association (SSIA) Conference. At the yearly Social Star Awards banquet, the Pittsburgh Sports Leagues (PSL) was recognized with two different awards! The PSL won the Champions Award as the highest rated sports league in our club size (5,000 – 10,000 participants).

Each year, the SSIA encourages its members to participate and achieve a Customer Service Champions Award determined by sending a standardized Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey to their sports league participants from the past year.  At the Social Star Awards banquet, the PSL was recognized and awarded as the Highest Rated League, Medium Club.

Additionally, our PUMPed to Run program won an award for Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion!

The Award for Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion recognizes a program, individual, or team within the Social Sports Industry Association that has made a significant impact in advancing diversity, equity, and/or inclusion. The honoree(s) exemplify a commitment to fostering an inclusive culture, breaking down barriers, and promoting equitable opportunities within the industry. 

  • Demonstrated leadership in championing DEI principles through innovative programs, policies, or actions.
  • Tangible results or measurable outcomes that have positively influenced diverse representation, equity, and inclusion.
  • A lasting impact on the trade association, industry, or community, creating opportunities for underrepresented groups or advancing systemic change.

The Award for Excellence in DEI celebrates those who inspire progress and pave the way for a more equitable and inclusive future. This honor serves as both recognition of their achievements and a call to action for others to follow in their footsteps.

We want to thank all PSLers past and present along with the Pittsburgh community for the constant support, feedback, and commitment to our leagues – without you these awards wouldn’t be possible. We look forward to serving you for years to come!
