Flying Squirrel Sports

What Flying Squirrel Sports does

Flying Squirrel Sports is a privately held indoor trampoline park operator headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, founded in 2015. The company runs 17+ company-owned parks across Canada (nine locations), the United States (six), Colombia (one, Medellín), and Peru (one, Lima), serving families with children, birthday party hosts, and recreational fitness seekers. Each park combines a broad attraction catalog — trampoline courts, foam pits, airbag launch lanes, 3D and augmented climbing walls, ninja obstacle courses, aerial silks and lyra, dodgeball and dunk-hoop courts, laser maze, zip lines, arcade, and kiddie courts — with on-site F&B (Drey Bar & Cafe) and group services (birthday party packages, private event rentals).

The company's competitive spine is a safety-led technology stack: all parks use the patented Shock Trampoline park system (US Patent 9,717,940 B1) built on custom-made German gas shock absorbers and high-density polyethylene structural components, and foam pit and airbag covers integrate Sanitized® antimicrobial textile technology for permanent microbial protection. The business model is direct-to-consumer: revenue is generated one transaction at a time through hourly/session admissions, group birthday bookings, on-site food and beverage, and corporate/event rentals, with walk-ins, online party booking, country-specific websites, and seasonal content campaigns driving demand. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per location; no franchise, reseller, or distributor channel is in use, and the ownership and leadership sit with founder/CEO Cody Schueler.
