Where athletes and families find what they love

Summit Sports builds and preserves the spaces, tools, and communities where kids discover their passion, and families grow together through sport.

Our Mission What We Do

Sports changed our lives. We want to protect that for the next generation.

Over the past decade, investment groups have been buying up youth sports facilities at record pace. Too often the playbook prioritizes extraction over excellence. Families face rising fees. Athletes train in crowded, underinvested spaces. The magic gets lost.

Meanwhile, pay-to-play platforms monetize every touchpoint, from tryouts to team gear, pricing out the families who need affordable access most.

Summit Sports pushes back. We acquire and operate facilities with a different philosophy, one that puts athletes and families first. We protect the culture and community that made these places matter, and we reinvest in equipment, coaching, and access. Sports should not be a luxury. They should be a right.

Youth athletes thriving

What we believe

🌱

Athletes First

Every decision starts with the athlete. Their development, safety, and joy drive everything we do.

👪

Family-Centered

Families are the foundation of youth sports. We build spaces and tools that bring them closer together.

🌟

Accessible to All

Talent doesn't care about your zip code or bank account. Neither do we. Access should never be the barrier.

💚

Healthy Competition

Competition drives growth. We foster environments where athletes push themselves while looking out for each other.

Built by someone who has been there

Jeremy Kane was a world-ranked swimmer who finished 5th at the Olympic Trials at 17 and went on to become a Division 1 national champion. At 20, it was over. A POTS diagnosis, a chronic condition that makes the body's response to exertion unpredictable, collided with an abusive coaching environment and forced him out of the sport he had built his life around.

He rebuilt from there. Over the next 25 years he worked across education, sports, and youth enrichment, including founding and operating 6 public charter schools in Nashville, and he found his way back to competition on his own terms through endurance sports.

That path is why Summit Sports exists. Jeremy knows what it feels like when the adults around a young athlete stop protecting them, and he knows what an athlete-first environment is worth, because he had to go build his own.

"I know what it feels like when the people who are supposed to protect a young athlete stop. Summit Sports is here so fewer kids have to find that out the hard way."

What we do

We run youth athletic and early learning facilities, and we build the software those facilities and their athletes actually need. We use our own tools in our own gyms before anyone else does.

Why we're different

What we see happening

Investment groups buying facilities to extract profit, not build community
Membership fees climbing fast after acquisition
Facility maintenance and upgrades deferred to maximize returns
Pay-to-play platforms pricing families out of youth sports entirely
Burnout culture replacing the joy that makes sports special

What Summit Sports does

Preserve the facility culture and community that made them great
Keep pricing fair and accessible, even as we invest in quality
Reinvest into facilities, equipment, and coaching excellence
Build technology that connects families instead of monetizing every interaction
Create environments where athletes love their sport, not dread it

Let's build something that matters

Whether you're an athlete looking for a better facility, a family ready to invest in your child's growth, or a facility owner who shares our mission, let's talk.
