The BackYard is a next-generation youth sports facility coming to Chicago's Bronzeville and West Side communities. We're building space that works for you and the athletes you develop. We want to hear from the coaches and trainers who are doing the work.
We're building a professional home base — not just a gym rental — where independent trainers can grow their athlete roster, deliver elite sessions, and build their brand in the community.
No more 10:30pm gym time. The BackYard gives trainers guaranteed, professional-grade court access at hours that work for you and your athletes — no school schedule conflicts, no last-minute cancellations.
The BackYard is in its founding stage. What trainers tell us directly shapes our scheduling model, pricing, and programming. This survey takes about 4 minutes.
Your response helps us build a facility that truly serves Chicago's training community. We'll reach out as we get closer to opening.
