Sports Connection first opened in 1995 as a 4 court volleyball facility named Volleyball Unlimited and with the addition of a soccer field in 1998, the name was changed to Sports Warehouse. In 2007, the new name Sports Connection was introduced when the Ballantyne Family Entertainment Center was opened with Laser Tag, Arcade, Bowling, Rock Wall, Ropes Course and many other games and attractions. In 2011, Sports Connection added the third location in North Charlotte when it purchased the Charlotte Sports Center.
