About

Every single person on the planet was affected in one way or another by the COVID-19 pandemic, children included. Educators were forced to quickly pivot and reimagine instruction in a few short weeks, and kids started spending 6+ hours per day in front of a screen. Although sports are slowly coming back, recent studies show that an alarming number of kids have no interest in returning to the activities they were involved in pre-pandemic. 

These issues are what inspired three close friends to come together and decide that they were going to solve the problem of keeping kids active through remote learning.  

The United States ranks #1 in childhood obesity – not a statistic to be proud of. With an increase in time spent in front of a screen due to the pandemic, it’s alarming to picture where this level of inactivity will lead. 

In the last 10-15 years, the world has dramatically changed.  Kids are more likely to talk to each other on messaging apps, share information via social networks and daydream over content shaped by marketing and advertising experts. Kids needs to learn to play again. 

Hiveclass is so much more than a mobile platform – through endless hours of conversation and research, our team realized that youth sports training and physical activity for kids is not what it used to be or where it needs to be. 

We aim to provide a better resource to kids who spend nearly six hours per day online by producing captivating educational content so they can learn new skills, master unique tricks and connect with their peers in their own time and at their own pace. Technology and screens aren’t going anywhere – it’s up to us to work towards turning passive scrolling into Active Screen Time. 

So, who should join Hiveclass?

The kid with aspirations of playing for the pros. The kid who’s anxious about trying out for the soccer team and needs to build up confidence. The kid who enjoys being active but doesn’t necessarily want to commit to a team. The kid who loves field hockey but is also curious about dance. The kid who wants to try something new. The kid who just wants to get better. 

Hiveclass is for everyone. And we’re committed to reimagining youth sports training and making it accessible for kids worldwide.
