Overview
Brodie League runs a large adult recreational basketball league across more than 20 cities in Canada and the U.S. It offers a premium three-month season, four times a year, serving over 35,000 players and generating revenue from registration fees. The league includes custom jerseys, professional-style media coverage, real-time player stats via a proprietary app, and community events to create a pro-level experience for everyday athletes. The Brodie ecosystem includes PlayerOne, league automation software that handles operations and powers the player-facing app with profiles, stats, badges, and a social feed, and Triples, an apparel line with jerseys and merchandise. Revenue comes mainly from player registrations, and the company aims for about $10 million in annual revenue in 2025.
