Concept Description

Don’t let the fear of quitting your full time job hold you back from living the dream of business ownership!  N Zone Sports offers the opportunity to start part time while you are currently employed and our all in investment is under $75,000. Our most successful franchise owner did exactly that. He now has the largest franchise for our preschool program and he’s a member of our training and support team and he coaches our new owners to do exactly as he’s done!

N ZONE SPORTS – The Ultimate in Youth Sports!

  • Based in Tampa, FL
  • Franchising for 10 years
  • Approximately 95 franchisees
  • Currently adding 1 new franchise almost every week
  • We are THE ONLY Sports Organization offering a combination of multiple revenue streams under one roof. Each one can stand alone as a lucrative, full-time business
  • We bring the entire community together with our sports leagues

THREE PROFIT CENTERS:

  • Youth Sports Leagues (flag football, basketball, soccer, cheerleading, T-Ball)
  • Preschool (Junior) programs (soccer, flag, golf, t-ball)
  • Adult Sports Leagues (flag football, basketball, soccer, softball, kickball)

SERIOUS REVENUE POTENTIAL

  • Average League has 150-200 kids, $150-175 per child, 2-4 seasons per year and many owners have multiple leagues
  • Junior programs – 10-20 kids per Preschool at $50-65 per month per month – owners may have 5-20+ preschools

IDEAL CANDIDATES – WHO LOVES US:

  • People who want/need flexibility and want to start something on the side while they are still working or wish to jump in full-time, right off the bat
  • People who love sports
  • People who love working with kids
  • Parents of children involved in youth sports currently
  • People who love adding value to their community
  • People who love the flexibility of generating serious revenue on a part-time basis or full-time basis from home
  • People who don’t want to wait years, investing in infrastructure to start making money
  • People who want to invest less than $75K total in a new franchised business

We care less about a candidates’ net worth or credit score as long as they are good, decent, coachable people who embrace our values and our culture, are community-minded, love sports/kids and will put in the effort necessary to maximize the opportunity in their area!

This works in big cities and small cities, where there are other sports leagues or areas with very few options for kids. Our top income earners are in Atlanta, GA and Las Cruces, NM – two very different areas.

History:

Founded in 2008 in Tampa, Florida, N Zone Sports was created by franchising veteran Tony Westbrock to deliver a better youth sports experience built around fun, fundamentals, and community. Recognizing the national potential of the concept, Tony launched the N Zone Sports franchise system to allow entrepreneurs to bring the model to their own communities.

Today, N Zone Sports offers multiple sports programs for youth, adults, and families, creating several revenue streams under one brand. The model allows owners to start part-time while maintaining their careers or scale into a full-time business with strong margins and recurring revenue opportunities.

In March 2024, Dana Hansen joined the company as President and equity partner. Dana brings extensive franchising experience, including helping build the nationally recognized brand College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving. Together, Tony and Dana are focused on rapidly scaling the brand, with a goal of reaching 250 franchise owners within the next five years.

With a low investment, multiple profit centers, strong leadership, and a clear growth vision, N Zone Sports represents an exciting opportunity for brokers and candidates seeking a scalable, community-focused franchise.
