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 shouldn’t be a barrier to dreams—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 serve—because impact is more than equipment, it’s empowerment.
Impact Metrics
Culture Snapshot
We lead with hustle, heart, and humility. From warehouse staff to boardroom decisions, we prioritize people, growth, and doing good—together.
