What ZogSports does
ZogSports is a US-based operator of co-ed adult recreational sports leagues, founded in 2001 by Robert Herzog after he survived the September 11, 2001 attacks. The company runs organized seasons across ten-plus sports - including basketball, soccer, softball, volleyball, bowling, cornhole, dodgeball, flag football, kickball, pickleball, and bocce - across six metropolitan markets: New York, New Jersey, DC Metro, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose. Its stated social mission integrates charity into league participation, with the firm claiming more than $3M donated to charity over its history; the Volo Kids Foundation, now part of the combined platform, reportedly provides over 24,000 kids per year with free access to youth sports.
The operating model is built on two customer tracks. Individual adult players register directly through a self-serve website and mobile apps (iOS and Android) powered by the LeagueApps platform, which handles scheduling, standings, weather alerts, and team management. A B2B channel, branded Volo For Business, sells corporate leagues, private tournaments, company field days, and team-building events to HR and culture teams on multi-year contracts. Transactional private pickleball events are priced at approximately $100 per player for groups up to 50. Following the June 2025 acquisition by Volo Sports, ZogSports operates as a brand within what the parties describe as the nation's largest social recreational sports network, gaining access to flexible daily-play formats (Pickups and Live League Drop-ins), Club Volo court-rental memberships (now in DC, Baltimore, Boston, and Denver), and the Volo Kids Foundation.
Monetization combines recurring seasonal league registrations with custom corporate contracts and per-player private event fees. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, the company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, and revenue is not publicly reported. Distribution relies on community word-of-mouth, the Volo Sports mobile app, and a direct corporate sales motion, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities and a standard third-party league management platform as the core technology layer.
