About Us Rhino Sports™ Springfield Massachusetts

Rhino Sports of Western Massachusetts is dedicated to providing the very best in backyard sports, recreation, and fun. The company began with the passion of owner Craig Bryden. After purchasing a 25 x 35 backyard basketball court in 2006, Craig believed that every family would own this backyard recreational concept if they learned about the rewards.

Craig said that the courts encourage family togetherness, which is what attracted me to Rhino Sports™ in the first place. Playing on Rhino Courts gives people great self esteem, the chance to make friends and share wonderful moments with kids.

Craig Bryden, 33, of Western Massachusetts is the first hearing-impaired owner to be awarded a Rhino Sports, Inc. dealership. As a dealer, Bryden builds backyard game courts, such as basketball courts, tennis courts, putting greens and batting cages to promote healthy and active lifestyles for kids.


           
Craig and his wife, Rita, are both hearing impaired and have 2 young boys, Daron, 4, and Jaxon, 1. Craig is an accomplished athlete, he was one of the top 25 deaf basketball players in the U.S., and the number one golfer on his team at Lenoir Rhyne College, where he graduated with a B.A. degree in Sports Management. Craig also played for the 2000 and 2004 USA Deaf Golf Team and won gold medal with the team twice! He challenges himself on a daily basis by coaching a “hearing” JV basketball team. Bryden joins Rhino Sports’ nation-wide network of dealers, as the Western Massachusetts Rhino.
