Tampa couple to franchise youth athletics training facility

Ben and Darcy Milsom, a Tampa couple with careers in sports, announced on April 21 their intentions to open a youth training facility franchise on May 3.

D1 Training is located at 3161-6 Curlew Road in the Westchase neighborhood of Tampa. 

The concept for the business germinated when the pair struggled to find their 14-year-old son training at a higher level than traditional youth sports camps offered. Conversations with other local families revealed the need for a proper facility and inspired the Milsoms to open D1.
