Sportball - Franchise

Join The Team!

Sportball began in 1995 with just 3 children and a single location. The company began franchising in 2005, and today is proud to offer programs at more than 700 Program Locations in Canada, the United States and Singapore.

Sportball was one of the first programs of its kind to focus on building developmentally appropriate skills through non-competitive sports, games and activities – and the company keeps evolving to make sure that it delivers the best in sports programming for kids 16 months to 12 years, whether that means partnering with leading research institutions, offering adapted programs or working with schools to enhance existing physical education programs.

At Sportball, we all share one common interest and commitment which is to try and make a difference in children's lives. We do that one child at a time and one class at a time. It is not a convenient turn of phrase-it is a guiding principle. While working to make a difference in the lives of children, becoming part of the Sportball Team can change your life as well. Ours is a home based opportunity thereby limiting outside office and related expenses. We run programs right in the community at Community Centers, Child Care Spaces, Schools, Places of Worship and Green spaces, which also limits your investment in bricks and mortar fixed locations. You can run in areas where your target families live and as demographics shift, you can relocate to new neighborhoods.
