Founder

4 The Family Sports was founded by Rex Kaplan during his final semester at Providence High School in Burbank, CA in 2022. Rex is currently attending the University of Oregon, studying Business Administration with a focus in Sports Business, while minoring in Media Studies. He represents student-athletes, assisting both men and women in brand building and NIL compliance.

Rex, a four-year varsity baseball captain at Providence, was extremely excited to retire his cleats and get to work at Oregon as an athlete representative. He enjoys every moment pursuing his dreams to work in sports.

Rex’s personal desire is to be a phone call away from anything and anyone. His goals are to be MLBPA certified by 23, and NBAPA certified by 25.
