    Paths to Ownership

    Youth Athletes United offers three ways to join our youth sports franchise family: opening a new YAU brand location, converting your business into a YAU brand, or purchasing an existing franchise business. Regardless of the path you take, we offer in-person training, in-territory business development, dedicated marketing and creative teams, and additional support and resources. Each of our owners is business minded, community oriented, and shares a love for children and sports. If this sounds like you, we would love to start a conversation about our brands, your future, and what we can build together.
