History
Created in 1978 as the United States Olympic Committee relocated from New York City to Colorado Springs and staged its inaugural National Sports Festival at the foot of Pikes Peak. This later became the Olympic Sports Festival and the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation has grown and prospered over three decades to become a driving force in the agenda for amateur and Olympic sport.
In 2006, the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation spearheaded a successful effort that placed Colorado Springs in the United States Olympic Committee's (USOC) elite Community Partners program alongside Chicago, Philadelphia and other major cities which have committed to help the USOC develop and prepare Olympic and Paralympic athletes in their communities.
The Colorado Springs Sports Corporation - also known as The Sports Corp - is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization committed to establishing a strong regional presence in Colorado through positive economic development and contribution to the quality of life for our citizens.
