SportsCool Franchise Reviews

“I have been working with SportsCool for a number of years. For just under two years, I was coaching every day of the week for head office.

In 2017 I had an opportunity to buy a SportsCool franchise and continue to grow the business in my area. I trusted that the team at head office were there to support me and essentially guide me through the process.

Each day is completely different and generally involves answering emails and phone calls for new and existing clients, planning, and organising new courses, looking for venues to set up clubs and importantly, recruiting coaches to teach in our schools and community classes.

One of my most favourable parts is the relationships you can build with the coaches, schools, staff, pupils and parents. It really does end up one big family and team!

My biggest challenge was in the first two to three months of taking on the franchise. It can be tricky to piece together the puzzle of schools and staff logistics, but if you like a challenge then this is definitely for you!

Now I have a very busy schedule and have built up SportsCool’s reputation in the Bolton & Wigan region.

If you are thinking of buying a franchise, you must be passionate about the business, educating children, be self-motivated and willing to work extremely hard to see results initially.

My future plans are to continue to grow my franchise area to enable me to have a strong and comfortable life ahead.”

“I’ve always had a passion for working with children and this opportunity was introduced to me by my friend whilst they were working for head office themselves.

The SportsCool franchise option allowed me to kick start my passion for working with children, operating it as my own business (a challenge I extremely enjoyed), learning more about sports and coaching myself. As a new mother, it gives me that flexibility to get a great balance between family and working life. 

Since my initial enquiry, Matt (Co-founder of SportsCool) has been my business support, ensuring that I am provided with thorough training and support from the team as well as providing guidance on setting myself up as a business. He reminds me how we are now a ‘family’ and that any concerns or help I require will always be addressed. In all honesty, his continuous support has helped with building my confidence in running this franchise successfully for many years

I’ve had the opportunity to embark on my new venture whilst having the benefit of valuable support and at the same time as being able to develop upon my passion with working with children.

Research thoroughly and choose one where you can further develop your interest/passion. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions in getting to know about the business and knowing what their expectations are. Try and experience from first-hand what the business is all about and make sure you choose something that you will enjoy running!”
