Hi-Five Sports’ mission is to provide the highest quality youth sports programming with the utmost convenience for parents. Everyone at Hi-Five is passionate about the positive results that can be achieved by introducing children to team sports the “Hi-Five” way. We have been proudly providing families with fun and transformative Youth Sports Entertainment for nearly 3 decades. Hi-Five’s core focus is on a multi-sport summer camp (Hi-Five Sports Camp). This is an 8-week sports extravaganza that creates valuable lifetime memories for former campers. The remainder of the year is focused on providing leagues, camps, classes and parties for customers with a level of fun, accomplishment and professionalism unmatched by other organizations. Programs can be operated out of Hi-Five Sports Zone facilities as well as at local parks, schools, and community centers. The Hi-Five Sports Zone isn’t your typical sports facility. We’ve designed it specifically with younger children in mind—from the field size, to the height of our hoops, to our lovable mascot, Murphy. Our unique approach to sports programming and birthday parties will give families a memorable and delightful experience. Hi-Five Sports sees team sports as a vehicle for improving the current and future well being of children. Now more than ever, there is an urgent need for children to be physically active and dis-connected from technology. Experiences and skills gained through sports are often forgotten or ignored, and generations of children are missing out on life lessons that would be instrumental to their personal growth.
