Jack of Sports: History, Philosophy, and Goals

About Jack of Sports
Jack of Sports was founded by Larry Tobin, inspired by his passion for sports and children. Larry’s experience in playing various sports and his professional hockey career shaped his belief that kids should explore a wide range of sports. The focus is on participation, not which team they join. By engaging in multiple sports, kids develop essential physical skills and build friendships that support a lifelong healthy lifestyle.

The Beginning of Jack of Sports
Larry started Jack of Sports after recognizing that many youth sports programs were overpriced and lacked quality. The program aims to be inclusive and affordable, ensuring children from all financial backgrounds can participate. At its core, Jack of Sports focuses on skill development through creative drills, engaging activities, and ensuring every child is actively involved.

Multi-Sport Approach for Holistic Development
Participating in multiple sports is vital for a child’s development, whether they pursue professional sports or not. Many top athletes excelled in multiple disciplines before specializing. Jack of Sports embraces this philosophy to keep children motivated, help them avoid burnout, and provide a well-rounded athletic foundation.
