Jungle Sports looking to expand

Sarah Stowe

Jungle Sports, a fitness-for-kids franchise, is extending its footprint from its current 12 territories. The business has continually tested and refined its model since its establishment in Western Australia in 2003.

At the heart of the franchise is a diverse program of sports, including soccer, Aussie rules, cricket, basketball, netball and dance and a variety of revenue streams, including weekend or weekday coaching, birthday parties, school or childcare centre sessions and corporate teambuilding.

The programs have been in development for 10 years, cater for children from 18 months to seven years old and have a strong emphasis on parental interaction in all classes.

Justin Everley, co-founder and director of Jungle Sports, said “Franchisees will be part of a network of like-minded franchise owners across Australia and receive all of the training and support they need. They won’t be left alone.”

Franchisees invest in a six year franchise agreement [with four options to renew] with an exclusive territory and an initial two week training program supplemented with ongoing training.
