What our franchisees say
One of the values that that is in our DNA as a youth sports franchise is teamwork, and that extends to the way owners treat one another. See what some of our franchisees have to say about the support they’ve received from fellow owners.
“We’re stoked about the support we’ve received, both from the main office and from other franchise owners. We’ve been in touch with other franchisees since before we signed on. They’re excellent sources of information as well as good for moral support.” – Shannon and Chrystal Phillips in Tennessee.
“We have found the community of franchisees extremely helpful. Any time we’ve had a question, we’ve reached out to fellow franchise owners and to other owners in our state, and they were extremely helpful.” – Eric and Nieshia Stephens in Maryland.
“We are mentored by multiple franchisees. We have multiple franchise owners that have been in the business for years and years — some over a decade — that are willing to talk to us any time and answer questions, help us with practical things, and help us with strategic planning. I’ve already made some amazing friends that I think will be lifelong friends.” – Michelle Mudge-Riley in Kentucky.
“I have people that I can call, and they have an understanding of my market. It’s nice to have other franchisees that I’m able to reach out to, and they’re all willing to help because they’re all just as passionate as I am.” – Tyler Himmelman in Colorado.
