Beyond the Booth: How TSS Helps Franchisees Build Big-Time Relationships
At TSS Photography, we believe that strong partnerships are the backbone of a thriving volume photography business. And one of the biggest advantages of being a TSS franchisee? You’re not building those relationships alone.
Earlier this month, we brought that philosophy to life at the 2026 RCX Sports Next Play Summit in Orlando, Florida—an event that brought together youth sports league operators from across the country to collaborate, network, and plan for the future of youth sports.
Showing Up, Standing Out
Hosted at the Orlando World Center Marriott (the largest Marriott in the world!), the RCX Next Play Summit provided the perfect platform for TSS Photography to do what we do best: show up in meaningful ways.
Our Success and Growth Manager Garrett Davis, TSS Photography of Florida Space Coast owner Gerald Jordan, and Photographer Brian Mendizabal represented the brand, meeting with hundreds of league operators across all types of sports—well beyond just NFL Flag. As sponsors of the event, we didn’t just attend. We provided official awards, captured candid photos with real-time face matching technology, and even offered free professional headshots to all attendees.
It’s the kind of national presence that drives real local results. Every handshake and conversation had the potential to unlock new leads, leagues, and lasting partnerships—for our franchisees.
Building Relationships That Fuel Franchise Growth
As a TSS franchise owner, you’re in business for yourself—but never by yourself. Events like RCX are a prime example of how the TSS corporate team actively invests in top-level connections so you can focus on delivering excellent service at the local level.
We work year-round to foster relationships with league organizers, youth sports networks, and national partners—then funnel those opportunities directly to our franchisees. The result? You start with an edge.
Whether it’s covering a league event, pitching a regional sports contract, or simply following up with leads generated through our national footprint, you have the support of a brand that opens doors.
A Summit for the Future of Youth Sports
The RCX Summit also featured powerhouse voices like Izell Reese, CEO of RCX Sports (and former Dallas Cowboy), and none other than Ice Cube, who joined the conversation around expanding access and innovation in youth sports.
“The Next Play Summit is about bridging the gap between the national influence of professional leagues and the day-to-day realities faced by youth sports operators,” Reese said. “By coming together in one room, we can collaborate in ways this industry has never seen before, building practical, scalable solutions that strengthen communities and expand opportunities for every child to play.”
We couldn’t agree more—and we’re proud to be part of the conversation.
