Hi-Five Sports has been enriching the lives of children for over 30 years! We are a family founded business that looked at youth sports options and thought… this could be a lot better! So, we’ve been innovating recreational youth sports ever since by growing and enhancing our programming, new technology, and our state of the art Hi-Five Sports Zone facilities and Murphy Mart concepts. We have some of the largest summer sports camps in our areas and year-round programming is just the tip of the iceberg. Between the various team sports the children play and the novel themes, events and contests – we’re number one in multi-sport summer camp fun for all kids’ ages.

We look at youth recreational sports as something for the whole family. We call this youth sports entertainment. And just like any good entertainment it needs to be full of fun and challenging. We have a great balance of fun and fundamentals and offer options for children of all ages. Options include preschool sports classes, leagues/clinic, camps, before/after school enrichment, birthday parties and so much more. We take sports seriously but we always say “you need a good sense of humor” too.

Hi-Five Sports Franchising launched in late 2015 to ensure Hi-Five becomes a household name in Youth Sports. Now is your chance to GET IN THE GAME and become part of the growing Hi-Five Family!
