HISTORY
National Pastime Sports (now NP Sports Productions) was launched when two passions connected in the warm South Florida sun-----baseball and theatre. It was 1992 and professional baseball was planning its debut in South Florida with the 1993 Inaugural Season of the Florida Marlins. NP Sports Productions founder David Martin was an assistant baseball coach with the University of Miami Hurricanes at that time. The Marlins had asked the Hurricanes to take part in several events to promote the start of professional baseball in South Florida. After several of these events David recognized the power of combining his love of both baseball and theatre for the benefit of sports teams and fans alike.
Coming from a theatrical family and with a degree in Theatre from the University of Windsor’s School of Dramatic Art, David was well positioned to develop successful and entertaining theatrical approaches to promoting sports brands directly to fans.
In 1998 David hung up his cleats from coaching to concentrate his creativity on forming National Pastime Sports which has been met with outstanding acceptance and growth over the last ten years. Today, NP Sports Productions is the leader in high quality fan experience productions serving both sports franchise organizations and consumer products companies.
In 1998 David formed National Pastime Sports the precursor to NP Sports Productions with the intent of taking the early fan experience models and rolling it out to other sports and teams.
National Pastime Sports and now NP Sports Productions has seen the business grow over the last 10 years. Today, NP Sports Productions continues to grow on this success as it is the leader in fan experience productions for both sports franchises and consumer products companies promoting their products/brands through sports.
