Cincy Sports Nation began on the fields of Milford, Ohio-and today, it lives on through every story we share. Built by athletes, coaches, and dreamers, we offer honest, practical knowledge for sports players everywhere. Your game, your growth, our passion.
If you’ve ever laced up cleats on a chilly Saturday morning, sprinted under the glare of indoor turf lights, or tossed a ball around just for the love of the game you already understand the spirit behind Cincy Sports Nation.
Our journey began in 2017, inside a converted tire warehouse tucked away on Meijer Drive in Milford, Ohio. Back then, we weren’t an online destination. We were a living, breathing community space: 66,000 square feet of laughter, sweat, shouting coaches, hopeful parents, and athletes chasing dreams on turf fields and training grounds. Founded by Joseph Benedetto, fueled by the endless energy of players and coaches, and managed day to day, Cincy Sports Nation grew not because it was flashy but because it felt like home.
But time moves forward, and so did we. When seasons changed, and the rhythm of life pulled us in new directions, we realized something:
It wasn’t just the fields that mattered. It was the knowledge. The tips shared between teammates, the quiet wisdom of seasoned coaches, the lessons hidden in every drill and play.
And so today, Cincy Sports Nation lives on not as a sports complex you can visit, but as a hub of honest, practical sports knowledge for athletes, parents, and fans across the country. Here, we’ve traded sidelines for storylines. Training grounds for trusted advice. We’re still cheering you on just from your screen instead of the stands.
What You’ll Find Here: At Cincy Sports Nation, we break down the games we love Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Tennis, Golf, and American Football with the same hands on heart we brought to every in person practice.
You’ll find skill tutorials, deep dives into training techniques, gear guidance, player development strategies, and insights that come not from textbooks, but from years of standing on fields, courts, and sidelines.
We’re not a marketing team writing about sports. We lived it. Every article here carries the same values we built our complex on: credibility, community, and care.
We remember what it’s like to be an athlete learning something new, to be a coach looking for one better drill, to be a parent trying to guide the way. This isn’t content for clicks it’s information that matters.
Our Mission Today: To keep the spirit of play alive. To serve up real advice-free of fluff. To be the place you turn when you want to learn something about the game you love not just read about it. We may have packed up the nets and folded the benches, but Cincy Sports Nation is still here. Still real. Still rooting for you.
Meet Joseph Benedetto
Hi, I’m Joseph Benedetto, the founder of Cincy Sports Nation. If there’s one thing that sports have taught me over the years, it’s that the field can teach you just as much about life as any classroom. Back in 2017, when the opportunity came to breathe new life into an old tire distribution center in Milford, Ohio, I knew it had the potential to become something more than just another building. I wanted to create a space where players of all ages could come together to train, to compete, to connect and that’s exactly how Cincy Sports Nation began.
We started with two full-sized turf fields, over 105 yards of dedicated training ground, and a vision that was never about running a business; it was about building a community. I loved everything about it the echo of cleats against turf, the energy from parents cheering on the sidelines, and the quiet focus of athletes giving their all.
It quickly became clear, though, that the real magic wasn’t just in the games themselves. It was in the moments between them the coaching advice passed down after practice, the skills quietly honed, the lessons that athletes carried with them long after they left the field.
As time went on, I realized that the heart of Cincy Sports Nation didn’t need to stay bound within four walls. Knowledge, after all, isn’t limited by location. That realization shaped what we are today: an online platform dedicated to helping players, coaches, and families learn more about the games they love. From baseball to basketball, soccer to tennis, golf to football, we share real-world insights shaped by years of practical experience the same advice we once shared face to face on the field.
This isn’t a collection of theories or textbook strategies. It’s built from real hours spent running drills, adjusting techniques, and learning lessons the hard way. At Cincy Sports Nation, our goal is simple: to pass on that knowledge in a way that’s honest, accessible, and built for anyone who’s serious about getting better, no matter their starting point.
Thanks for being part of this journey. Even though the setting has changed, the mission remains the same helping athletes grow smarter, stronger, and more passionate about the games they play.
Thanks for stepping onto our new field.
Let’s grow, learn, and play together.
-Joseph
