The Greater Columbus Sports Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, operated by the Greater Columbus Sports Commission. Our mission is to make sports more accessible and enjoyable for young athletes and amateurs in central Ohio.
Since 2021, we've hosted Community Youth Camp, a four-day sports sampling camp for 6- to 12-year-olds. Other programming and events include youth sports clinics, educational panels, and community outreach.
