SEATTLE, WA<\/strong> – The Bay Club Company (“Bay Club”) is expanding and diversifying its portfolio and Greater Seattle Campus with the acquisition of indoor sports and entertainment company, Arena Sports, which consists of five locations in Mill Creek, Magnuson, SODO, Redmond and Issaquah, including the Magnuson Athletic Club.<\/p>\n The addition of Arena Sports marks a milestone for the Bay Club portfolio as it continues the company’s long-term strategy to develop regional campuses that provide access to a range of activities beyond traditional health and wellness programming, while broadening the aperture on the range of family programming and all-ages recreational activities that Bay Club manages. The move both strengthens Bay Club\u2019s Seattle footprint and allows it to continue offering more access to sports, outdoor recreation and active lifestyle activities where members of all ages can connect, grow, and thrive together.<\/p>\n Arena Sports is the area\u2019s top choice for youth soccer, offering year-round youth and adult soccer leagues, nationally recognized Lil\u2019 Kickers and Skills Institute development programs, and seasonal youth camps. The facilities also provide a mix of fitness equipment plus a wide variety of family-friendly activities including arcade games, inflatables, laser tag, climbing walls, and event hosting. Arena Sports has become a trusted destination for active play, skill development and memorable celebrations for families and athletes alike.<\/p>\n \u201cArena Sports complements our Greater Seattle Campus by providing high-demand, family-centric experiences, which deepens our day-to-day relevance for members,\u201d said Victor Woo, Executive Vice President, New Business Development at Bay Club. \u201cThe youth programs, camps, and all-ages activities Arena Sports is known for are a natural fit for our merger and acquisition model and ushers in the next chapter of growth in the Pacific Northwest.\u201d<\/p>\n Bay Club entered the Greater Seattle Area with the acquisition of PRO Club locations in Seattle and Bellevue, establishing a premium anchor for the region in December 2023. Earlier this year, Bay Club added Harbor Square Athletic Club in Edmonds, followed by the acquisition of three 425 Fitness locations\u2014broadening the Campus footprint across the North Seattle corridor and Eastside communities. The acquisition of Arena Sports represents Bay Club\u2019s 4th announced acquisition this year and demonstrates Bay Club\u2019s ability to identify and acquire businesses that reinforce the company\u2019s regional campus strategy.<\/p>\n \u201cJoining the Bay Club family marks an exciting new chapter for Arena Sports,\u201d said Don Crowe, CEO of Arena Sports. \u201cOur mission has always been to bring families together through play, sports, and memorable experiences. As we become part of Bay Club, we look forward to continuing that mission on an even larger scale, while maintaining the community feel our customers have always valued.\u201d<\/p>\n Bay Club\u2019s acquisition playbook centers on building regional campuses that unite sports, outdoor recreation, and active lifestyle experiences paired with an innovative, flexible, Shared Membership, allowing people to discover, join, and grow their community. \u201cExpect many more additions to our Greater Seattle Campus,\u201d Woo said. \u201cWe\u2019re just getting started \u2014 exciting things ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n Lil\u2019 Kickers Inc., which licenses Lil\u2019 Kickers and Skills Institute youth soccer and child development programs to facilities nationwide, is not part of this acquisition and will continue to be operated independently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SEATTLE, WA<\/strong> – The Bay Club Company (“Bay Club”) is expanding and diversifying its portfolio and Greater Seattle Campus with the acquisition of indoor sports and entertainment company, Arena Sports, which consists of five locations in Mill Creek, Magnuson, SODO, Redmond and Issaquah, including the Magnuson Athletic Club.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":410,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[18,84],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11796"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11796"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11796\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11797,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11796\/revisions\/11797"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.clubinsideronline.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
