Colorado Springs Sports Corporation.
("The Sports Corp")

HISTORY
The Colorado Springs Sports Corporation. was formed in 1978 as the Colorado Amateur Sports Corporation. to help stage the first National Sports Festival which later became the U.S. Olympic Festival. With the United States Olympic Committee and the Olympic Training Center located in Colorado Springs, the search was on for other sports organizations to move their headquarters to Colorado Springs. The Sports Corp’s efforts were instrumental in relocating many of the 48 national and international sports organizations now located in Colorado Springs.

Restructured in 1993, the new Colorado Springs Sports Corporation (a 501(c)3 charitable organization) is committed to establishing a strong regional sports presence through economic development, event promotion and complete dedication to our youth sport and community development activities.

MISSION
The mission of the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation. is (1) to attract, support and retain sports organizations and businesses, (2) to create and attract sporting events that will have a positive economic impact and contribute to the quality of life for the citizens of Colorado and (3) to support youth sports through the recognition of athletes and coaches, and to provide financial assistance to enable disadvantaged youth to participate in local sports programs.
