Yes, Mile High Prep is the Denver franchise of the Prep Super League. The others include Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, New Jersey, and Tampa in the East Division, and Houston, Los Angeles (x2), and San Francisco in the West Division.

Prep Super League is a first-of-its-kind national high school football league. It’s an elite, 11-on-11 spring football league for top college football prospects seeking enhanced competition and maximum exposure. It provides a national platform for players to build their personal brand and pursue NIL opportunities with less restrictions, and an alternative path for securing a college football scholarship.

The Prep Super League saw a problem in established sports that have failed to attract younger viewers. There is a lack of national competition with traditional high school football, and high school sports are under monetized in the NIL era. PSL developed the solution in a first-of-its-kind, national sports property aimed at creating an on-field product and fandom that could rival NCAA Football, but comprised of ELITE HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS, and geared towards a younger audience.

The PSL team licensee forecast has a total of 32 teams being sold over the next 5 years to qualified buyers in select markets across the US. The first team license was sold in 2023 to the Denver Market — Mile High Prep.

PSL sold its Denver franchise (Mile High Prep) to Colorado nonprofit, UPSWING Foundation. UPSWING Foundation is the only youth sports foundation based in Colorado’s mile-high training grounds that provides access to world-class programs alongside top athletes for kids of all backgrounds in order to connect people and catapult dreams.

As the owner of Mile High Prep, UPSWING Foundation manages all of the staffing, technology, operations, recruitment, media, and infrastructure for the franchise.

In fact, because Prep Super League teams own their equipment, participation offers an additional advantage in comparison to options such as summer team camps, where access to rented equipment may be limited for teams and players.
