History:
N Zone Sports started in 2008 and was born out of the need for a better sports league than was available in the Tampa, FL market. Due to his experience in franchising, Tony Westbrock decided to share his sports league concept with the world through the N Zone Sports Franchise offering! It has slowly developed into both weekday and weekend sports offerings for youth, adults and all members of the community. With multiple revenue streams, the concept offers those seeking an exciting business away from the corporate 9 to 5 grind a fulfilling, lucrative opportunity. Franchise owners can start part time or dive in full time as unlimited support and coaching is provided to both.
Dana Hansen and Tony Westbrock have been friends since 2001, worked together 8 years previously. Dana Hansen joined N Zone Sports in March of 2024 after he was offered an equity stake in the company and the position of President. Dana has built other brands including College Hunks Hauling Junk & Moving. Dana’s goal is to build the brand to 250 franchise owners in 5 years.
