Academy Sports + Outdoors

Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Academy Sports + Outdoors understand that youth sports offer more than just enjoyment. They play a critical role in helping young athletes reach their full potential, both on and off the field. Through sports, today’s youth are building the skills and confidence they need to become our future innovators, leaders and problem-solvers.

That’s why we’re teaming up to help make playing sports more accessible to youth at Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide. Through our partnership, Academy Sports + Outdoors will support Boys & Girls Club sports programming, events and activations that help kids and teens participate in youth athletics. Together, we will empower more young people to play sports, practice new skills and build community, all while pursing healthy, active lifestyles.

Our partnership also supports Academy Sports + Outdoors in providing the communities they serve with the gear and knowledge to practice sports, safety and responsibility. By taking a thoughtful approach to community impact, Academy Sports + Outdoors can enable everyone to feel good about gearing up for the great outdoors.
