Buy a My Backyard Sports Franchise

My Backyard Sports is a sports-court specialist that designs, sells and installs customized athletic courts, basketball hoops and recreation equipment for residential and commercial clients. Founded in 2017 and franchising since 2020, the New Jersey–based brand offers more than 3,000 sports-related products across over 30 sports, including basketball, tennis, pickleball and golf, alongside court painting, patching and repair work.

The business serves both private and public customers: homeowners, schools, gyms, recreation centers, condominium communities, real estate developers and local businesses. Projects range from a single backyard hoop to full multi-court facilities, and franchisees can also sell sports accessories through e-commerce, giving the model several revenue streams from one customer base.

My Backyard Sports runs as a home-based, owner-operated franchise with low overhead and a small installer team rather than a fixed retail location. Founder-led and still an emerging network, the brand is built around affordable, customized sports experiences and works with established manufacturer partners to supply its product range.

Why buy a My Backyard Sports Franchise?

There is real appeal in buying a My Backyard Sports franchise for an owner drawn to youth sports and active-lifestyle recreation. The brand combines home improvement and sports installation in a niche with limited direct franchise competition, and its multiple revenue streams (court installs, hoops, painting and repair, and accessory sales) give an operator several ways to build income from both residential and commercial clients.

The home-based model keeps overhead low, with no retail lease and a lean installer team, which can support stronger unit economics than a premises-heavy business. Franchisees draw on the franchisor’s manufacturer relationships for product supply, plus marketing systems that include local websites, templated materials and managed social media. As a founder-led, emerging brand, an early resale can offer an open or lightly developed territory within a category backed by sustained youth-sports demand.

My Backyard Sports – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training runs about one week at the franchisor's Northern New Jersey corporate location, combining virtual and onsite sessions across 16 classroom hours and 34 hours of on-the-job training. It covers the brand model, sales and customer experience, estimating, scheduling and reporting software, suppliers and installation operations. Ongoing support includes phone and online guidance, optional onsite help, and marketing such as local websites, templated materials and managed social media. Resale buyers should confirm with My Backyard Sports what transfer training and software access pass to incoming owners when ownership changes.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits a hands-on, sales-oriented local operator who enjoys working with families, schools and community organizations. No construction or sports-installation background is required, but owners should be comfortable managing a small installer team, coordinating project schedules, quoting and closing customized jobs, and building referral relationships across residential and commercial clients. It is an owner-operator business rather than a passive or semi-absentee one, rewarding those who stay involved in day-to-day sales, scheduling and customer experience. A genuine interest in youth sports and active lifestyles helps.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    My Backyard Sports has built recognition since 2017 as an emerging specialist in customized sports-court design and installation, noted within the industry for its diverse, multi-revenue-stream model and its focus on affordable, customized sports experiences. The brand has been profiled by the International Franchise Association for that diverse-revenue approach. Formal franchise rankings are limited given the network's size, so resale buyers should weigh brand-level recognition alongside the specific territory's reputation, including local reviews, completed projects, referral sources and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    My Backyard Sports sits at the intersection of youth sports and backyard recreation. In the US, roughly 30 million children take part in organized youth sports, supporting a market estimated near $28 billion, and parental spending on children's athletics has stayed resilient through economic cycles. Demand for pickleball and multi-sport courts has grown sharply, while broader home-improvement spending supports investment in backyard recreation. For resale buyers, local demand depends on household incomes, housing stock and the strength of school, club and community relationships within the territory.
