Athletic Recruiting Sports Franchises

College sports is a huge industry, as high school players from around the country want to find their way onto a college team to continue their careers.

Golf Franchises

Golfers are incredibly passionate about their sport, and they tend to spend big money on things like clubs, lessons, golf travel, and more. This lucrative market has great potential, but it’s important to enter it from an authentic position. Golfers will immediately notice if someone is not one of them, so opening a golf franchise is best left to those who have some background and experience in the game. If that sounds like you, take a close look at this possibility. That's why anything in the golf category makes for a great sports franchise to start!

Sporting Goods Franchises

Nearly every sport requires equipment. Even running, perhaps the most fundamental of all sports, still demands a comfortable and supportive pair of shoes for most people. With that in mind, the sporting goods market as a whole is huge, and operating a franchise that specializes in general clothing and equipment for athletic activities has serious potential. If you're looking for a sports franchise without having to niche down to a particular individual sport, this is a great option for you!

Sports Leagues & Camps

Even for those who love sports, it can be hard to find a place to play. This is especially true for team sports, as they require plenty of coordination and planning to bring together a league. Whether for kids or adults, running a sports league or camp franchise is an opportunity not only to build a successful business, but also to create a place where others can engage in the games they love.
