History

In 1997, the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission (dba Wichita Sports Commission) was created by a large committee of leaders in our community that wanted an organization to enhance the quality of life through sports events and activities.
Organized as a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit, WSC was created to provide a community organization to attract, host, promote, and foster local development of amateur and professional sporting events and organizations in the greater Wichita area in the interest of improving business conditions in sports and sporting events related to businesses.
The financial plan for the WSC included funds from membership, sponsorships and event sales, putting the organization’s success on our staff and the private sector of the community. These are the parameters the WSC has operated under since its inception more than 20 years ago.
Our success is a tribute to our Board of Directors and staff who have worked very hard to allow us our success. After two decades of service to the Wichita community, we are more excited than ever to continue our tradition of hosting, recruiting, and developing various sporting events. We see great opportunity for Wichita sports to continue to thrive in the years to come!
