About Us

What we do

 

Sports don't just entertain. They improve communities. They drive economies. And no other organization brings sports events to the Inland Northwest like the Spokane Regional Sports Commission. We are a nonprofit coalition of regional government; business and volunteers committed to recruiting and developing sports events. With these events come tourism dollars, entertainment and media attention attracting sports fans from around the world. Business wins. Kids win. Fans win, our region wins.

Our team is involved in every aspect of local sporting events. Working diligently to ensure Spokane, Washington is considered and ultimately chosen during the selection process; managing logistics before, during and after the event; maximizing publicity to ensure that every seat is filled and actively promoting our community as the elite amateur sporting event host.

Sports Event Development & Recruiting: Through marketing and promotion of the Spokane region, we attract and develop events that generate positive economic and community benefits.

Community Liaison: It's all about who you know and we know all the right people. Our staff has the ability to round up all the resources, from services to facilities, to make sure all our events and competitions run smoothly and efficiently.

Event Promotion, Marketing & Media: We work extensively to build the brand of sports in our community as well as help to promote the events that come to our region. By building broad public awareness of the events in the community, we ensure that our events succeed while promoting the overall impact and benefits of sport.

Travel & Housing Coordination: The Sports Commission works closely with each of our hospitality partners ensuring that we get the best accommodations at the very lowest rate for every official, coach, and athlete.

Volunteer & Sponsorship Recruitment: From event set-up to registration, quality volunteers are key to any sporting event. We consistently work to build a group of committed, talented individuals who donate their time and skill so that our events go off without a hitch.
