Kids2ProSports.com is an interactive, global sport web site and social network invented by Founder and CEO, Alan Chokov, which provides resources to create, share and preserve a user’s sports legacy from birth, through childhood…to professional, coaching and on to retirement. Kids2ProSports (K2PS) features 30,000 sport selections representing the USA and 265 countries; 4 million personal sport and health identifying connections, keywords and terms, plus hundreds of thousands of interactive functionalities. The Sports Techie blog spoke to Alan about their sports technology startup, the sports business Beta launch on April 15th 2013, and his attempts to partner with the National Council of Youth Sports and other entities that may want to partner, underwrite or work together on this exciting endeavor.
KIDS2PROSPORTS
Membership in K2PS is free for Sports Techie community kids and adults of all age. Children, parents and coaches worldwide can interface with KIDS2PROSPORTS in just the same way as a pro player in the NBA, MLB or the NHL can during the playoffs. Alan feels that sports are ego driven because of an innate desire and passion to share your timeline of sports related activities with your social network, alumni and employers.
The site has educational components to this sports business as well as mentorship capabilities. What may have the most user value however is how players, families and any of a number of demographic groups can use this cloud base service to host your data as a keepsake that spans generations of Sports Techie.
Tech Features
K2PS is viewable on conventional desktop / laptop computers, iPad…. and all Tablets, iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Nokia and other smart phone mobile applications, K2PS allows our members to take advantage of direct interest related content, on a single destination platform that spans a cross-generational market.

SportsBiz
Sports sponsorship, affiliation opportunities and media placement includes visibility on all conventional internet and mobile applications. K2PS provides the consumer with accessibility to the advertiser’s services and products submitted directly by the advertiser in their selected sports, sport related venues, languages and countries of preference.
Additional applications of this platform, to name a few can be adapted for individual sports, teams, athletes, organizations, states, countries, and other ventures…in fashion, entertainment, politics, finance, medical, education, business… and other venues. There is even a web page dedicated to animals. I sense robotics could be on the way.
According to Alan, “KIDS2PROSPORTS is an interactive web site promoting sports and related health and social issues permitting users to chronicle the progression of their athletic competition from childhood to adulthood and to professional sports.”
K2PS is providing complimentary online forums for information in the fields of sports, health and related social interactions; telecommunication services including the transmission of voice data and documents relating to user information in the fields of sports, health and related social interactions. There could be a membership upgrade option in the future but for now all the tech is completely free to use at your own discretion. Alan hopes to create a K2PS user base for life.
K2PS is in a niche market where professional and amateur sport and sports such as softball, football and extreme all have a place to call their own cyber home. Fan Clubs are a new sportsbiz vertical market that Chokov has his K2PS attention focused on.
Alan welcomes the opportunity to speak with investors, reporters and the public about his venture, please contact him at: [email protected].
Alan Chokov
Alan hails from New Jersey and attended Monmouth University during the Vietnam War years. He is soft spoken, razor sharp and has the vernacular of person used to wearing many corporate hats. For the past 38 years, he has been involved in Real Estate deal-making. For nearly fifteen years, Chokov was the CEO of eFinancePortal, Inc. This company was an interactive, multilingual financial and business portal with six internal search engines; 50,000 categories and 18 specific industries. Alan referred to eFinancePortal as a, “Business and Social Community and a financial and business literacy source with a Mission to offer that platform for all 50 states individually.” Essentially, Alan morphed eFinancePortal to KIDS2PROSPORTS which is a good thing because he already knows what he is doing by recreating the web site with social and other technology platforms.
NCYS
The National Council for Youth Sports (NCYS) is a who’s who in the youth sports industry. Its membership represents more than 200 organizations/corporations serving 60,000,000 boys and girls registered in organized youth sports programs. Alan has spoken to the top executives at the NCYS about working together and talks are ongoing.
Sports Techie, What started with 1,000 sports and 57 categories has exponentially grown to 30,000 sports and hundreds of thousands of potential categories thanks to the lifelong Sports Techie entrepreneur that Alan truly is. Here is the K2ps web site link:
I found it interesting that Chokov is not a Facebook proponent and feels that they may have had their time in the sun because more and more kids are migrating over to using Twitter. we are both on agreement about LinkedIn and it’s value to the world. Alan says, “LinkedIn did it the right way.”
Alan shared with me that a recent census has data that indicates 2.3 billion humans on the planet Earth play some sort of sport. Because of this fact, he feels confident that his timing is right to execute this vision. The Olympics, Paralympic Games and all Adaptive sports for disabled athletes have K2PS programs that give proceeds back to the sport. There is a concentration of USA and NGB sports on K2PS. Gender issues are a non-factor and transparency is critical to the K2PS platforms.
He has spoken to Ultra Sports Techie Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones about K2PS. Recent conversations were held with Yahoo who wanted to know more about a Hispanic version of the website. A wrestling foundation with 50 writers and bloggers has indicated their interest in adapting the Platform. In about two weeks, the Beta will go Live. Alan says the iPad download is available now.
Alan’s next goals are to create a buzz about K2PS and find users who want to post content within the Beta environment. Let that be you, Sports Techie kids, adults and elders. KIDS2PROSPORTS is ready and willing to be your sports timeline showcase to the worldwide community, to a college recruiter, and to any virtual neighborhood.
