Baltimore company sees national opportunity in laidback sports leagues

As the season of after-work softball and kickball approaches, the Baltimore company that organizes adult sports leagues has eyes on becoming a national player.

Since starting with a bocce league in 2009, Social Leagues has grown to include sports and activities of various exertion levels from skeeball to soccer, and expanded to other cities like Denver, Charleston, S.C., Seattle and San Francisco.

Over the winter, the company added to its existing New York City presence, called Play Big Apple, by acquiringNYC Social. This spring, it’s set to offer more than 80 leagues in that city. CEO Giovanni Marcantoni said Social Leagues now holds the crown of having New York’s biggest bocce league. The move also puts the company closer to the big brands that are headquartered in New York. It’s an extension of the business opportunity the company sees in relaxed after-work recreation.
