After successfully launching the inaugural international franchise in China, Skyhawks Franchise Group has opened its second overseas franchise in Indonesia.  Based in Jakarta and operated by partners Bryan Djuhari and Muljadi Irawan, the Indonesian franchise will offer both Skyhawks Sports Academy and SuperTots Sports Academy programs to kids ages 18 months - 14 years old. In addition to providing sports programming for schools, private sports facilities, and apartment complexes, Djuhari and Irawan have plans to open their own multi-purpose facility (FIT Academy).  This ten-story multi-purpose facility will offer futsal, basketball and badminton courts in addition to a gymnastics room, climbing wall and four-lane half-Olympic size lap pool. Located in Kuningan in the heart of Jakarta, the FIT Academy is set to open 2020/2021.  

“We are looking forward to bringing Skyhawks and SuperTots to the young boys and girls here in Jakarta and throughout Indonesia,” says Irawan.  “The excitement you feel at a Skyhawks camp or watching a child learn a new skill for the first time and the relationships they form with other campers and the coaches is really tremendous.  We can’t wait to take the knowledge and methods Skyhawks has fine-tuned over the last 40 years and introduce Skyhawks and SuperTots to the kids in our Jakarta community and beyond.”

“Opening our first international franchise in 2018 for the SuperTots brand was thrilling, and this announcement brings the same feeling right back,” explained Skyhawks Franchise Group President & COO Jason Frazier. “Skyhawks is commemorating its 40th anniversary in 2019, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by the launching of our first dual-brand international franchise.  Finding Bryan and Muljadi and hearing about their vision for what they hope to accomplish with Skyhawks and SuperTots franchises made them the right franchisor for Indonesia. I am eager to see the benefits they will be able to provide for the kids in Indonesia.”

In the 2nd annual Fastest-Growing Franchises ranking, Skyhawks Franchise Group has been named the top youth sports franchise and #117 overall of the top 150 companies who are “leveraging their ability to scale fast.” After increasing 107 places on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® ranking and having substantial growth in 2018, it makes sense that Skyhawks would place as one of the fastest-growing franchises in the world.

The Fastest-Growing Franchises ranking is based on the number of new franchise units added in the United States and Canada from July 2017 to July 2018, as verified by Entrepreneur, with ties broken based on percentage growth. The ranking is created to give potential franchisees a starting point on which fast-growing franchises to consider. Earning a spot on the ranking shows how much Skyhawks has grown over the past couple years into a well-built franchise system.

“We are very excited to make Entrepreneur’s Fastest-Growing Franchises ranking for the first time in our organization’s history,” says Jason Frazier, President of Skyhawks. “Many people believe in our mission of teaching life skills through sports, which is one of the reasons we have grown at such a quick rate.”

Skyhawks wants to exceed expectations and offer an outstanding experience for all participants in our sports programs. Our franchisees are passionate about the Skyhawks brand and they understand what it means to the children. We are proud of our Skyhawks family around the nation, and we can’t wait to see how much more Skyhawks grows in the future.

Skyhawks Franchise Group is stronger than it has ever been. In 2018, Skyhawks launched the first international SuperTots franchise in Suzhou, China, which received great feedback from Chinese audiences.

- Top overall earner generated $1.47 million 
- Top rookie earner generated $348,000

With a low initial investment, Skyhawks franchisees see a quick return on their investment while enjoying a flexible work life and receiving exceptional support from the Skyhawks team, which are just a few perks of becoming a member of the Skyhawks family.
