Brodie Rec Leagues

What Brodie Rec Leagues does

Brodie Rec. Leagues, operating under parent entity Brodie Sports Group, runs a multi-city recreational basketball league platform founded in 2019 by Connor Renton in Toronto. The company organizes 12-week competitive seasons four times per year across five skill divisions (D1 Elite through D5 Rookie) in 20+ cities across Canada and the United States, with announced entry into London, Manchester, and Birmingham in 2026. As of 2025 the platform serves 50,000+ registered athletes across 600 teams, with each season including 8 regular-season games plus playoffs, FIBA-certified stats recording, and themed cultural collections (Brodie Summer, Slasher Season, Coldest Winter, Bracket Season) that rotate custom uniform designs, welcome packs, and championship celebrations.

The technology stack is a proprietary registration and engagement platform (athletes.brodierec.com) backed by native iOS and Android apps, a dedicated stats portal (stats.brodierec.com), and an in-house creative and uniform manufacturing division (BRL Studio). Game footage is streamed via BallerTV and reviewed by FIBA-certified professionals to record statistics, which feed career tracking, leaderboards, and an in-app archetype/badge system. The company owns registered trademarks across its brand portfolio (Brodie, Wingman, BrodieID, Brodie Athletes, WAGS of Brodie, BRL Studio) and operates a referee training and certification program (Brodie University).

Brodie makes money primarily through per-player registration fees ($279-$319 CAD in Canada; ~$249.99-$319.97 USD in the US), with secondary revenue from uniform and merchandise sales (Authentic Wingman line, themed jersey collections, WAGS of Brodie supporter jerseys at $75 CAD) and partner perks/sponsorships (e.g., Myo recovery studio). Pricing includes Early Bird/Regular/Late tiers, payment plans, and a Captain's Play Free program that refunds captains who recruit a full 10-player roster. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer via self-serve registration, supplemented by city ambassador programs and a referral scheme ($25 per new athlete, $5 per retained athlete per subsequent season). Forbes reported projected 2025 annual revenue of $10M; the company employs approximately 200 staff with a stated plan to reach 400 by 2027.
