SPL Sports in the Community.

Who We Are.

SPL Sports Inc. is a 501c(3) non-profit founded by former college and professional basketball player and current TV sports announcer Corey Williams along with web developer and graphic designer David Hostetler. For years, these two have partnered to work with local businesses, professional athletes, community officials and the NCAA to produce events and services in southern Arizona.

SPL Sports Can Help.

What We Can Do, Together.

SPL Sports Inc. has one basic mission: to gather business resources and donations to benefit kids through athletics and education. Contributions allow us to provide:

  • Free sports equipment and uniforms to help reduce the costs to families and organizations
  • Free camps and leagues in a variety of sports for girls & boys
  • Funding for sports related transportation expenses for club or team travel

Reasons to Help SPL Sports.

Why Donate?

  • According to USA Today, 66% of Americans (196 mission) are overweight or obese. One third of those are children.
  • Currently in America, only 2 states out of the 50 are requiring that elementary schools incorporate recess into a student’s daily routine.
  • Arizona ranks 3rd in the country for juvenile crime. It is widely accepted that participation in sports and other extracurricular activities drastically reduces the probability of delinquency.
“The current direction and structure of youth sports requires that kids begin competitive training earlier than ever before. For most parents the cost associated with keeping their children actively involved in sports has become increasingly expensive and in some cases impossible. Our belief is that boys and girls deserve access to quality instruction and opportunities regardless of circumstances beyond their control. If a child is willing to try, we will be there to help, teach and support them.”

Equipment Donations

Using our wholesale relationships with apparel companies such as Nike, Adidas, Jordan and others, we have the ability to provide schools, clubs and leagues with quality equipment at a fraction of the costs. We receive countless requests from public schools and youth leagues for uniforms, cleats, practice gear and sports equipment. Your donations allow us to use our vendors and donate merchandise to struggling organizations. In most cases, coaches and parents are already donating their valuable time with kids. We intend to match their commitment by helping to provide equipment. Organizations are billing parents for uniforms and gear or having kids fundraise door to door. This is a very difficult responsibility to place on a young person. Very few families today have the extra equipment money that most sports require. With your help, SPL Sports Inc. intents to make a difference.

SPL Mission Statement

Our mission is very simple. We provide sports equipment for kids to help bridge the growing gap families are facing keeping young people involved in sports. With the support of businesses and people like you we will continue to help kids in our community. Our philosophy is that every child has potential and if we combine resources with instruction, guidance and support we can unlock some of that potential. A confident, motivated young person can go on to accomplish amazing things in life. As adults we know you only get one shot at childhood. It should be fun and full of memories
