Franchisee Journey & Experience

1. What inspired you to become a SportsCool franchisee?

In February 2023, I received the difficult news that I could no longer have children. This deeply impacted me, and I decided to channel my energy into something positive and productive. I chose to become a SportsCool franchisee with the hope of building a successful business that could potentially provide the financial means to pursue IVF treatment.

2. How has your experience as a SportsCool franchisee been so far?

My experience as a SportsCool franchisee has been incredibly rewarding. While starting a new business always comes with its challenges, the journey has been filled with positive moments. I've felt well-supported throughout, and seeing the impact our sessions have on children – from their excitement during activities to their growing confidence – has made it all worthwhile. The sense of community and the opportunity to make a real difference have exceeded my expectations.

3. What’s been the most rewarding part of running your SportsCool franchise?

The most rewarding part for me is seeing the children's faces light up with joy during our sessions. Watching them have fun, build confidence, and leave with big smiles is incredibly fulfilling. Knowing that I'm creating positive experiences and helping children stay active makes all the hard work worthwhile.

4. What support did SportsCool provide to help you get started and feel confident in your role?

At first, I found it quite difficult to get started. However, since Neil, Rosie, and Lee have been on board with their consistent communication and support, things have really improved. Their guidance has been invaluable – helping us build confidence, overcome challenges, and ultimately start to branch out and grow. Knowing that there’s always someone available to offer advice and encouragement has made a big difference in my journey as a franchisee.

SportsCool Success Stories

SportsCool Testimonials

We quickly got accepted into the HAF programme in only 5 days, we believe it’s incredible how fast we were accepted and the impact that has on so many vulnerable children and their families. Furthermore, we had a surplus amount of aid and help from SportsCool, we got assistance with the meetings from Lee, and extremely beneficial help from Matt surrounding the figures for the club. Over the summer we had many children into our sports HAF club, this brought in £17,000 revenue with 50 different children joining for the summer, and we are looking at a £5,000 revenue this winter. In Summer, we did a broad range of different activities to get children with all sorts of different personalities and likings such as; Football, archery, Tri-golf, Curling, Badminton and Volley ball for the sports side of the list. However, we did some more relaxed activities for children who aren’t massively keen on sports. We also conducted; Lego activities, air drying clay, arts and crafts and experimenting with plants and seeds. For the winter, some of these activities are coming back while also adapting these activities to be Christmas themed and as well as a visit from Santa Claus. This winter we are having separate HAF sessions for SEN children which includes specialised sensory equipment and adapting existing activities for their needs. It’s been amazing I’m so proud to be involved bringing happiness and sports to the children in my community.

Daniel, SportsCool Derby South

Lee and the team at SportsCool have been fantastic in all the support, advice and encouragement. He has shown me first hand the different ways to ‘sell’ our product and it has been invaluable to me. I was apprehensive about visiting schools but his polite and friendly manner showed me it’s highly effective. Not only have they helped with face to face sales, Lee has shown me how to structure my week to make sure I use my own time efficiently. I now meet regularly with my coaches, send letters, call and visit schools each day. Lee has also suggested initiatives like advertising birthday parties, providing evening and weekend clubs, plus advice regarding HAF funding and holiday camps. His experience and knowledge is vital to making a success of the business and he has installed confidence and belief in myself. It’s amazing to know this level of support is on offer and has been vital in my start as a business owner.
