“We’re passionate about the positive results that are achieved when introducing children to team sports the ‘Hi-Five way'”.
-Hi-Five is the largest youth sports entertainment franchise network in the US! We are both the first, and the industry leader, in offering both retail and home based franchise options.
We’re a family-founded business that looked at youth sports and volunteer programs and thought… this could be a lot better! So, we’ve been innovating recreational youth sports for the last 30 years. Our mission is to make sports fun, battle the obesity epidemic and the lack of physical activity, and lastly, meet the needs of parents, schools and our communities. We offer programming for children from 2 years old through 8th grade including:
Hi-Five focuses on three main pillars of success which are 1.) Program Quality 2.) Innovation 3.) Parent convenience…
Program Quality – Our management team comes with a wealth of industry knowledge spanning over 100 years. Programs have been time tested for decades and are continually enhanced. Over the past 30 years our Management Team, P.E Teachers, Athletic Directors, Advisors, and our coaches have assisted with program development.
Innovation – We make it a point never to just roll out some balls and run bland programs. We have added technology, our French Bulldog mascot Murphy, and years of development to keep innovating. We are the first youth sports organization to put a spin on the old way of operating youth sports programming by coining the phrase “Youth Sports Entertainment”. With that in mind, the Hi-Five Sports Zone was born in 2014 and became the very first small-box retail sports facility with other unique operating components such as the “Murphy Mart Reward Center” and making it digital to assist children in the first lessons in financial literacy. Today, you can find Hi-Five Sports Zone locations throughout Malls across the US.
Parent Convenience – Our team is made up of parents. We not only know about operating the best youth sports programming but we also know what parents expect. With that said, we go above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our business also caters to parent convenience. This includes everything from our location set-up, parent communication, and timing of our programs. At Hi-Five, we partner with parents and we will honor any request to make that partnership easier for our Hi-Five families.
Hi-Five Sports views team sports as a vehicle for improving the current, and future well-being of children. Now more than ever, the need for children to be physically active and disconnected from technology is extremely important. Life lessons that are learned through sports are all too often being ignored, and entire generations of children are missing out on key life lessons. Lessons that are not only instrumental, but imperative to their personal growth. The personal growth principles we place enormous value on and reward through the “Murphy Mart” include:
Youth recreational sports is something for the whole family. At Hi-Five Sports, we foster a youth sports entertainment culture, where we maintain a great balance of fun and fundamentals! We take sports seriously, but with a sense of humor.
A note from our CEO, Ryan Tuchman, “We think of Hi-Five in the same respect as higher education. We expose young children to a number of team sports in a fun and entertaining manner that is not intimidating or negative in any way. We allow them to choose the path that they want to go down. Whether it’s a focus on one specific sport or none at all. The treasure is in the positive experiences they had in team sports that will shape them for the rest of their lives”.
We’re in multiple states in over a few dozen cities and are rapidly growing. Hi-Five Sports Franchising launched in December 2015 to better serve the growing need for our business model. We are well on our way to becoming a household name so now is your chance to GET IN THE GAME!

Parents at our San Jose location love the different sports programs that we conduct and want us to offer more in the future. It’s a great feeling to give back something to the society in a good way. Our programs help kids to perform better in other activities and enhance their social skills.

Getting out of the military and entering the civilian world, I was coming up with ways to do something different. To take control and create a better economic situation for my family. If you have the drive, owning your own business is the way to go! Looking at multiple sports franchises, we found that Hi-Five Sports core beliefs fell in line with our own. At every step of this process, their guidance has led me to create a new culture of doing sports here in San Antonio! Keeping it FUN, so these kids want to get outside, learn, and fall in love with sports. That's the Hi-Five Way!

Purchasing a Hi-Five franchise has been a great decision. Their cutting- edge approach to child development keeps us at the forefront of the industry. The support they have given me throughout my time as a franchise owner has been instrumental in my success. They have supported me in every facet of my business and are always available to help keep me on track.
