When you think of a sports franchise, all types of businesses may pop into your head. There are soccer training franchises, physical fitness franchises, running franchises, swimming franchises, and so many more. The options are practically endless. Typically, a sports franchise is primarily based upon the real-world experiences and expertise of a former athlete or coach and can be heavily driven by those unique experiences. Shoot 360 has combined this type of real world experience and expertise with modern technology to create a sports franchise that’s like no other.
Would You Like to Play a Game?
Let’s face it, “play” is not what it used to be. Kids, as well as many adults, no longer go outside to play, but choose to play video games instead. In fact, video gaming is now the most popular hobby in the world. Additionally, one of the fastest growing segments in the video game market is competitive eSports. Of the approximate 3 billion gamers across the globe, around 200 million of them are in the United States and almost as many of the gamers are female as male.
- The majority of gamers in the U.S. are between the ages of 18 and 34.
- There’s at least one gamer in 3 out of 4 households in the U.S.
- The U.S. has 3-times the number of eSports gamers over any other country.
- Approximately 48% of gamers in the U.S. are female.
So, what does this have to do with a sports franchise? Let’s dig in.
How Gaming Comes Into Play
With so many of our youth and young adults adept at playing video games, and so many of them engaging in eSports activity, a sports franchise that builds upon technology as part of the core only makes sense.
