How RevSports Started

Coach John Richardson

The story began, in 2001, when Coach John Richardson was asked by the Minneapolis Park Board to start a pre-school soccer class at a local park. As parents spread the word, one class grew to multiple classes, until John was coaching multiple sports year round at multiple parks, across the city in 2008. You can now find a RevSports class nearly every day of the year at over 50 Minneapolis parks, schools, and spreading fast across the metro.

RevSports is no longer just Coach John Richardson. RevSports has developed over 100 passionate coaches leading instructional classes, day camps, fundamental leagues, and special events in over 25 different sports. Each coach is identified for their ability to connect with children and teach sport-specific skills. Coach training teaches coaches our proven format combined with continual mentoring by experienced RevSports coaches. RevSports encourages individual coaches to expand their knowledge, refine their instruction and teach others. Each RevSports coach is dedicated to creating a positive experience for all participants.

We know our success is the result of our participants and families helping us continually improve our programs. We value your feedback and repeated participation, and hope that you share your positive experiences with RevSports to fellow families!
