My Backyard Sports with Michael Kraner: Get Your Game On at Home

My Backyard Sports is one of the most unique franchises available and it does just that. Founder, Michael Kraner, joins the podcast today to share the unique offerings that My Backyard Sports brings to not only families, but the communities they live in and all of this matches the company’s core values. But how do they make this happen? By leveraging technology. In fact, construction and design are not prerequisites for being a part of the work and franchisees are trained to do that. Michael himself began with a technology background and by combining their unique use of technology and digital tools, they are able to “bring the stadium home.” My Backyard Sports is a full service, one-stop-shop, offering over 30+ sports related products and services. They design and build incredible customized courts such as basketball, tennis, pickleball and golf both for residential and commercial use. They cater to homeowners, schools, gyms, recreation centers, condominiums, real estate developers, and area businesses. Their customized sports projects range in scope from purchase and installation of basketball hoops and other sports equipment and accessories to full court sport facilities encompassing both single and multi-court offerings. Additionally, they offer our customers personalized court painting and court maintenance services such as patch and repair. If customers can dream it, they can design, build and install it.
