Where We Came From

Team Sports Planet began as the dream of co-founders Kari Altman and Brian Kerrigan. After getting their first taste of the possibilities of internet business while living in NYC and LA in the late ‘90s, they decided to move back to their hometown of Philadelphia, PA in 2001 to start a company then known as Youth Sports Planet. They saw a unique opportunity to leverage the Internet to help busy parents, coaches, and administrators outfit their players in great looking uniforms at competitive prices with outstanding customer service.

As teams returned season after season and word spread, the scope of the company expanded to include players of all ages and the name was changed to Team Sports Planet. Now a global company with regular customers on four continents, we strive to combine the selection and value of a large internet company with the personal touch of your local shop.

What We’ve Accomplished

Team Sports Planet’s extraordinary growth has won both regional and national awards. We have been featured in Inc. Magazine’s “Fastest Growing Companies,” while at the same time managing to remain family owned and operated. Twice named one of the “Philly 100,” TSP also received the Department of Defense Education Activity contract award in 2009 and again in 2014, in addition to being a proud small business GSA contractor since 2013. Our greatest claim to fame is the over 15,000 teams that we have helped to pursue their athletic goals.

Brian KerriganOwner, CEO

Brian was captain of his school football team and went on to play at Susquehanna University before his playing days were cut short by injury. Upon graduating, he got involved in computers and then the internet, with some sales experience with the LA Lakers thrown in between. His interest in sports, computers and the Internet reached its apex in the co-founding of Team Sports Planet.

Kari AltmanOwner, CEO

Growing up, Kari was a fierce, multi-sport competitor, with tennis and softball –a pitcher, go figure– being her strengths. Volleyball games at family cookouts, to this day, are tooth & nail events. That innate competitiveness has infused her professional life as well and, no doubt, played a significant role in her co-founding and leading the daily charge at Team Sports Planet.

Terri BroylesSales Manager

Terri played volleyball and lacrosse growing up just outside Philadelphia. Her ambidextrous abilities play a key role in her successes both on and off the field. She is a lifelong hockey fan loving Philadelphia’s own “Broad Street Bullies.” These days she also enjoys watching her kids play soccer and tee ball. She is an avid crock pot cooker and loves Hallmark Channel Holiday movies more than anyone else we know. She dreams of someday getting to visit all the places in the world that she gets to talk to on a daily basis in helping our teams at international destinations.

Sam SherburneAccount Manager

Sam is a mediocre fantasy football player, 76ers true believer, and Simpsons trivia master. He likes old school uniforms and new school statistics.

Sonia MartinAssociate Account Manager

Sonia is from small-town Ohio but loves living in Philly. She’s been running since she was 12, more out of love for it than talent. She usually adores her 3 energetic children and is a big believer in the importance of team sports for kids. The one sport the whole family can agree on playing and watching together is soccer, and they can’t wait until World Cup 2018.

Natalie DeVicarisProduct Development Director

Natalie was a power elite out in center field, proudly donning #7 then, holding office at home as #1 boss now. Although she is often under the influence of Judge Judy, she still has a major crush on the our Operations Manager. At her 10 year mark of employment here, she and her husband welcomed their second child into this world.
