The "Spark" Story
Hey there, my name is Chad and I’m the founder of Spark Social Sports! I thought I would share my story on how/why I founded Spark Social Sports.
After college I was living and working in the Hartford area, and it seemed there was never anything fun to do (do you relate??). Then a college friend invited me on to her kickball team. I quickly realized, wow this fun, and even more incredible was the people I met playing!
I eventually became more involved with the league and ended up running the leagues in Hartford and overseeing all the leagues across CT! What started as 1 kickball league with about 200 people grew to over 10,000 people and 10 different social sports in about 7 years!
Along my journey I met so many good friends, traveled all around the country playing kickball (believe it or not that’s actually a thing), and even met my wife!
In 2018, I stepped down from running the leagues as we started a family and I focused on my full-time job (yes, I somehow had a full-time job through all that!)
But let’s fast-forward to today: The kids are out of diapers, I am sleeping at night, and wanted to get back on the field by starting a social sports company with a simple mission – to have fun, be active, and create a platform for new connections. Hence the name “Spark” – just like my story, my wife’s story, and countless others who met their significant others or friends playing social sports. You never know who you will meet.
Game on. Have Fun.
