Since 2017, My Backyard Sports has been making dreams come true for families and homeowners with customized, at-home sports experiences. Now, with franchising efforts underway since 2020, they plan to be in every neighborhood across the country.
“As adults, we want to share health, wellness, work ethics, confidence, maturation, being on a team – the positives go on and on and on,” said Michael Kraner, CEO and founder.
As a sports enthusiast, lifetime player and coach, Kraner believes that sports positively affect kids and families on multiple levels. “Kids learn through sports and playing and practicing,” he said. In short, Kraner feels that sports change lives.
Starting with mainly basketball hoop installations and line painting services, My Backyard Sports now offers over 30 specialty experiences and more than 3000 sports-related products. Homeowners can choose any sport, including baseball, bocce, pickleball and tennis, and select fun features, such as climbing walls and turf fields.
Besides adding utility and usable playing space, My Backyard Sports accentuates landscapes with eye-catching aesthetics and beauty. Because the company’s indoor and outdoor courts are built to last, Kraner focuses on making each project unique. He strives to go above and beyond by adding meaningful touches that people appreciate.
“A lot of things come and go,” Kraner said. “Our stuff is really going to be there as the stuff that’s remembered.”
Plus, these personalized backyard experiences are entirely affordable, tailored to meet every budget and specification.
An emerging brand that hopes to make a far-reaching impact, My Backyard Sports doesn’t just focus on home installations. The company also works with schools, recreation centers, gyms, real-estate developers, and businesses.
“Making a difference in our communities is something different about us,” Kraner emphasized. “When you’re part of a community, it’s really just a nice thing.”
And you can’t put a price on the added value My Backyard Sports brings to neighborhoods, especially when it comes to giving kids designated spots to gather and socialize. “When I drive through the adjoining towns, and I see people playing on the courts that we built or upgraded, there’s definitely a sense of pride that those kids will have a better experience than what they had before or a safer one,” said Kraner.
The company’s biggest goal is to spread joy and happiness, and they intend to deliver. “Life is short, and memories are made up of moments in time,” Kraner noted. “If you can create something nice for families, and they can get out for a few minutes, that’s really important.”
My Backyard Sports is looking for entrepreneurs who share the same core values and beliefs, plus a passion for sports and dream building. Now’s a great time to get in on the ground floor and start a lucrative business that’s fun, rewarding, and growth-oriented. With various revenue streams, an easy-to-follow playbook, in-depth support and training, My Backyard Sports provides all the tools franchisees need to thrive.
