About
Collaborating Wichita Sports Since 1997
For more than 20 years, the Wichita Sports Commission (WSC) has worked to promote, acquire, and support a diversity of youth, amateur, and professional sports programs and events thereby enhancing the Wichita area economy and quality of life.
We work to showcase the Wichita area as a Midwestern hub through the planning and promoting of sporting events or activities and have had an economic impact of over $544 million.
WSC collaborates with local, regional, and national partners to bring new events to our Wichita community. We value our local venue and facility owners and work closely with them in pursuing events.
We also work extremely hard to operate and maintain successful recurring events, including the Prairie Fire Marathon, Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year Award, and Wichita Corporate Challenge.Â
Our Goals
- To promote and sell through a segmented approach sports events and programs for the greater Wichita area.
- To establish, maintain and/or operate sports events and programs in the greater Wichita area.
- To be actively involved in sports program and facility development.
- To implement a member and stakeholder communications strategy to enhance publicity and community profile.
- To operate an effective community sports association with sound financial and talent support and expected returns.
Letter from GWASC Chairwoman, Jennifer Marshall
The Wichita Sports Commission aims to enrich the quality of life and economy of Wichita through sports. We promote and develop sports at all levels, fostering a spirit of teamwork, discipline, and excellence by also providing support to existing events and organizations in our community.
Sports are more than just games; they are a powerful tool for community building, personal development, and social connection. Through the Wichita Sports Commission’s programs and initiatives, we aim to provide opportunities for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to engage in physical activity, learn valuable life skills, and achieve their full potential.
We believe that sports can break down barriers, bring people together, and inspire positive change so everyone can thrive. By investing in sporting events and organizations, we are not only enhancing the quality of life for our community but also contributing to the economic and social vitality of our region.
We invite you to join the Wichita Sports Commission. Together, we can continue to build a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant community through the power of sports.
