Jack of Sports was founded by Larry Tobin, a Cornell University graduate, professional hockey player in Sweden, and father of four. A lifelong sports enthusiast, Larry spent his youth playing various sports before excelling at varsity hockey and earning a business degree. He believes kids should explore a range of sports, prioritizing active participation over the pressure of making specific teams. This philosophy fosters essential physical abilities, builds social connections, and encourages a lasting love of fitness.
Larry created Jack of Sports to address the rising costs and mediocre standards of existing programs. His vision? To offer inclusive, high-quality swim and multi-sport training that’s accessible to all children. Parents are encouraged to spread the word, ensuring that every family can benefit from this opportunity. The program’s core values revolve around skill development, fun, and creating an environment where every child feels motivated and supported.
Do you dream of your child becoming a star athlete? Even if you don’t, learning multiple sports is crucial. Many elite athletes credit their success to early multi-sport training. Jack of Sports supports this approach, helping kids develop a variety of skills while avoiding the risks of early burnout. This balanced model prepares children to choose a preferred sport later on, with confidence and readiness.
Jack of Sports welcomes children from all backgrounds, ensuring everyone feels valued. Whether they’re in the pool, on the field, or on the court, kids learn in an environment built on respect and equality. These programs cultivate lasting friendships and life lessons while promoting teamwork and cultural appreciation.
Many sports programs lack energy and creativity, but Jack of Sports changes that.
