You Handle the Hustle, We’ll Handle the Risk

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.

We’ve Played in Your Shoes

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.

“First-Class Knowledge and Industry Expertise”

When our previous agency fell through at the last minute, Dan and his team stepped in. Within a week, they found us the right policy, guiding us through the process with confidence and care. Since then, Dan has coached us through multiple policy adjustments to better manage risk in our facility and continues to be a sounding board for future operational changes.

LK Soccer and its affiliates have been fortunate to have Monument Sports as its insurance partner since 2005. As our business expanded and changed, Monument helped us navigate what was needed for us as a business. Their help in negotiating with carriers during COVID 2020-2021 was invaluable. Monument Sports is a partner, and we are grateful for the expertise.

Brian Loftin / CEO, LKSOCCER.com

There are insurers that provide coverage—that’s the easy part. Mark and his staff are dedicated members of a team that throw themselves into knowing how to make our professional soccer team the best we can be. That’s a massive difference in approach. I have felt valued for the past ten years. Rockstar status for dedication and attention to detail achieved. Thank you, team.

I highly recommend Monument Sports for any organization seeking expert guidance in the complex world of Workers’ Compensation insurance. Their first-class knowledge, industry expertise, and deep network of connections proved invaluable to us at the North Carolina Football Club. Thanks to Mark Grossman’s strategic insight and hands-on approach on a recent workers’ compensation renewal, we were able to save over $200,000—an outcome that would not have been possible without his guidance and the resources of the Monument Sports team.
