Jack of Sports: A Legacy of Passion and Opportunity
Who is Jack of Sports?
Larry Tobin, the visionary behind Jack of Sports, is a Cornell University graduate, father of four, and lifelong sports enthusiast. His love for sports began as a child, and it led him to play professional hockey in Sweden after a successful collegiate career. Larry’s philosophy is that every child should engage in multiple sports each season. He emphasizes participation over competition, fostering well-rounded athletes who develop motor skills, teamwork, and lifelong friendships in a fun, healthy environment.
How Jack of Sports Was Created
Frustrated by the costly and poorly run sports programs he encountered, Larry decided to create Jack of Sports to offer high-quality, affordable swim and multi-sport programs. Jack of Sports is inclusive, ensuring that children from all backgrounds can participate. The program’s unique financial support model encourages parents to spread the word, ensuring that no child is left out. At Jack of Sports, skill development, creativity, and motivation are the focus.
Why Multi-Sport Training Matters
While you might not envision your child as a professional athlete, it’s worth noting that most top athletes have excelled in multiple sports. Jack of Sports helps children develop diverse physical skills, preventing burnout and mental fatigue. Our multi-sport model allows children to build a broad foundation that benefits their long-term athletic pursuits, regardless of which sport they eventually choose.
