Meet Our Team
We Love Sports!
My Backyard Sports was founded with the belief that many homeowners want a higher end, more fulfilling home sports experience but did not realize that it was truly available to them. My Backyard Sports is leading and fulfilling this need. Some homeowners assume the price is out of reach. At MBS we bring the Sports Stadium experience to your backyard that meets your specific needs and budget.
