About Impact Sports Equipment

Impact Sports exists to bridge the gap between passion and possibility for kids in underserved communities. We believe access to quality gear shouldnโ€™t be a barrier to dreamsโ€”and that rebuilding youth sports programs is a path to stronger futures.

Our Vision

We started with donations in a garage and now supply over 100 schools and rec centers with gear, mentorship, and opportunity. Our goal is to be the go-to partner for communities looking to revive the joy, discipline, and teamwork that youth sports provide.

Our Purpose

Sports have the power to unite, inspire, and uplift. Our purpose is to ignite confidence and character in every kid we serveโ€”because impact is more than equipment, itโ€™s empowerment.

Culture Snapshot

We lead with hustle, heart, and humility. From warehouse staff to boardroom decisions, we prioritize people, growth, and doing goodโ€”together.

From the Founder

โ€œWeโ€™re here to change the game for the next generation. Sports gave me directionโ€”and now itโ€™s my turn to give it back.โ€ โ€” Malik Thompson, Founder
