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.
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.
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.
Children at Jack of Sports come from all walks of life, and this diversity is embraced. On the soccer field, basketball court, or in the pool, all children are treated equally. This inclusive environment promotes cultural understanding and social connections, helping children form friendships that will last a lifetime. We uphold a zero-tolerance policy for any negative behavior, ensuring a respectful atmosphere for everyone.
Traditional sports programs often lack excitement, but at Jack of Sports, we pride ourselves on high-energy, creative training. Our lessons are broken down into dynamic stations, each designed to teach a specific skill while keeping kids engaged. Whether it’s through drills or small games, we ensure every child has a chance to participate equally and develop both physically and mentally.
At Jack of Sports, we strive for excellence, but we understand that sometimes things don’t go perfectly. If an issue arises, we welcome feedback and will work to make things right. Our goal is for both kids and parents to leave each session feeling positive and eager to return. We offer credits for future sessions when necessary, but we don’t provide financial refunds.
