5 Star Sports Academy

What 5 Star Sports Academy does

5 Star Sports Academy is a privately held, single-location youth sports instruction business operating since 1998 from 21 Ryder Place, East Rockaway, NY, serving families in the Long Island submarket. Its core offering is multi-discipline recreational and competitive instruction in gymnastics, parkour, ninja warrior, and acro-tumbling for children roughly ages 3-17, with age-segmented class tiers (Stars & Tykes through Superstars), competitive gymnastics teams with annual June tryouts, homeschool physical education classes, private lessons, and themed birthday party packages. The facility is equipped with specialized apparatus including trampolines, Tumbl Trak, balance beams, rock walls, foam pits, and a ninja warrior obstacle course designed in collaboration with American Ninja Warrior competitor Justin Conway.

The revenue model is predominantly consumer-direct and recurring. Monthly class tuition operates on a 4-class-per-month base with surcharges in 5-class months and rolling month-to-month enrollment; summer camp is offered in 4- or 8-week options with a $200 non-refundable deposit; and birthday parties are sold as one-time packages (Classic at $450, Bounce/Ninja themes at $495, with structured add-ons). Registration, waivers, and parent billing are managed through the third-party Jackrabbit Class platform, complemented by a native mobile application on iOS and Android. Marketing channels include the company website, the mobile app, parent-portal email communications, community sponsorships (Oceanside School #4, Oceanside JCC Youth Basketball), school/camp field trips, and annual showcase events.

The business is small (11-50 employees), single-site, privately held, and shows no evidence of external funding, ownership changes, or multi-location expansion. No leadership roster is disclosed in the source data, and contact information indicates general management and a contact named Jodi reachable via the main number (516) 887-6600. The operating posture is steady-state local service delivery, with incremental product extensions (mobile app, homeschool classes, summer camp structure) layered onto a long-running core offering.
