Larry Tobin, a Cornell graduate and former pro hockey player, founded Jack of Sports to share his love of sports with children. Believing in participation over competition, Larry encourages kids to explore various sports to develop physical and social skills while fostering a lifelong love for being active.
Jack of Sports was created to provide inclusive, affordable, and high-quality sports programs. We believe every child deserves the chance to participate, regardless of their background, with parents playing a vital role in helping us grow.
Are you hoping your child becomes a professional athlete? Regardless of your goal, it’s essential to understand that many elite athletes excel in more than one sport. At Jack of Sports, we champion this philosophy, keeping children motivated and engaged while preventing the burnout often caused by early specialization in a single sport. Our multi-sport approach builds a well-rounded skill set that can benefit kids as they choose their preferred sport later on.
Jack of Sports creates an inclusive environment where children from all walks of life come together, promoting equality and respect. Whether on the field, in the pool, or on the court, every child is valued equally, and we encourage good sportsmanship and active participation. This inclusive atmosphere helps children form lifelong cross-cultural friendships while learning essential skills and life lessons.
It can be frustrating to see sports programs lacking energy or creativity. At Jack of Sports, we ensure a high-energy, fast-paced environment where kids are actively engaged in learning the fundamentals of the game. Our station-based lessons focus on specific skills through innovative drills and games, guaranteeing equal participation for all children—regardless of skill level. Small games further enhance teamwork, ensuring every child is actively involved, developing instincts and physical abilities. Kids work hard without even realizing it, making the experience truly AMAZING!
We understand how disappointing it is when sports programs fail to excite or energize kids. That’s why Jack of Sports designs lessons to keep them fully engaged through dynamic drills and fun, skill-focused stations. Every child, regardless of their experience, gets equal opportunities to participate and grow. Through team-based activities and small games, children develop physical and intuitive skills while having a blast!
