Our Story
Jump Start Sports NYC arrives as a vibrant new thread in the city’s expansive cultural tapestry.
From its beginnings, Jump Start Sports has dedicated itself to fostering a profound appreciation for athletics, prioritizing physical health, and cultivating teamwork among young people. Today, this distinguished sports institution is bringing its wide-ranging programs and seasoned coaching staff to enrich the New York City community.
The genesis of Jump Start Sports NYC is the brainchild of two passionate sports enthusiasts, Alex and Lily. Their paths converged during an energetic intramural soccer match on the Upper East Side, sparking a connection rooted in a mutual love for sports and an unshakeable belief in its power to unify. For Alex and Lily, soccer was not just a recreational pastime; it served as the ignition for a broader mission. Their aim was to construct an environment where young people could bask in the exhilaration of sports, comprehend the importance of teamwork, and nurture their physical and cognitive growth. This collective vision culminated in the establishment of Jump Start Sports NYC, destined to be a beacon of youth sports development. Jump Start Sports NYC pledges to be a stimulating introduction to sports and a dynamic epicenter for aspiring young athletes, presenting age-suitable sports programs for children aged 2-14.
Jump Start Sports NYC offers an array of sporting options, including soccer, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, and many more, and recognizes that sports enthusiasm is diverse and individual, and thus commits to building an inclusive, stimulating environment where all children are welcomed, motivated, and guided to discover their own unique journey in athletics. Jump Start Sports NYC transcends the identity of a mere sports program. It represents a vision to ignite passion, hone skills, and cultivate a generation of robust, self-confident, and team-oriented individuals. Backed by the community’s support, Alex and Lily eagerly anticipate making a positive and lasting contribution to the growth and development of New York City’s youth, one match, one practice, one game at a time.
