Rick Hart

Rick Hart founded Jump Start Sports in 2002 after a successful career in advertising. Driven by his passion for enhancing children's development through sports, he created a business that has positively impacted tens of thousands of young lives.

In 2023, Rick's determination to broaden this impact nationwide led to the franchising of Jump Start Sports. The vision is to deliver top-tier youth sports programs to millions of children and communities across the country. By partnering with individuals who share this passion and are dedicated to excellence and integrity, Jump Start Sports aims to set the standard in coaching, life skill development, and character education.
