The RevSports Story

Revolutionary Sports (RevSports) began in 2001 when Coach John Richardson, fresh out of college and passionate about youth development, was asked to lead a preschool soccer class for the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. Parents quickly noticed his positive, encouraging coaching style, and word spread. What started as a single class soon grew into year-round programming across multiple sports and parks throughout the city.

Today, RevSports offers more than two dozen sports in over 50 Twin Cities communities. RevSports programs are intentionally designed for children ages 2–12, a key stage when young athletes are discovering their interests, building confidence, and developing foundational skills. By introducing a variety of sports early, we help kids explore, grow, and enjoy being active.

RevSports sessions follows our Learn. Practice. Play. approach introduing skills, reinforcing them through guided activities, and applying learning through small-sided play. This positive, encouraging structure focuses on effort, teamwork, and fun, helping children build confidence and a lasting love for sports.

While RevSports has grown, our mission remains the same. Hundreds of experienced coaches now bring this philosophy to schools, parks, and recreation centers throughout the metro area—and Coach John still spends time on the field, committed to creating meaningful, positive experiences for young athletes and their families.
