Our team brings real-world experience to every policy, helping you navigate the unique challenges of running a sports and recreation business.
You’ve got a lot riding on every decision you make. At Monument Sports, we understand what it takes to run a sports facility, league, or entertainment business because we’ve done it ourselves.
We aren’t generalist brokers. We’re a team of former athletes, coaches, facility owners, and risk management experts who live and breathe this industry. And for more than 25 years, we’ve been helping clients just like you protect what matters most.
Monument Sports was founded in 2000 by Mark Grossman, a former generalist insurance broker who saw a glaring gap in the market: sports and recreation businesses weren’t getting the specialized support they needed. After working with a handful of indoor facilities and professional soccer teams, Mark made the leap to create a firm that focused exclusively on this space.
The name Monument comes from Richmond, Virginia’s iconic Monument Avenue, where the company’s first office was located. But the name also reflects something deeper—our belief in building strong, lasting relationships rooted in trust, service, and results.
Shortly after launch, Mark teamed up with Chris Fox, a local pro soccer player who had a knack for the insurance biz. Together, they opened the Sports Center of Richmond, a 120,000-square-foot multisport facility that still houses Monument’s headquarters today.
From day one, our approach has been simple: know the industry, understand the risks, and provide solutions that help our clients succeed. More than two decades later, that mission hasn’t changed—and neither has our passion for protecting the people who keep sports and recreation alive.
