SportyBeans, India's multi-sport program for pre-school and primary school children is now seeking franchise partners.  SportyBeans trains kids between ages of 2.5 - 8 years. SportyBeans’s well researched sport and fitness activities introduce children to the fundamental concepts and skills behind nine popular ball sports- baseball, soccer, basketball, golf, hockey, cricket, rugby, tennis and volleyball and develop a lifelong passion for sports and exercise.

SportyBeans has its presence in 9 states, 13 cities and has 25 centres. Karan Sareen, Director- Projects, SportyBeans, said: “We are targeting Tier I and Tier II cities for expansion. We will support the franchisee in site selection, center design, training programs, marketing and operational support and ongoing R & D.”

An area of 1200-1500 sq.ft and an investment of Rs 8-10 lakh is required to open a SportyBeans centre. An educational background in kinesiology, early childhood education, recreation management, physical education or personal training is helpful but not required.
