Our Story
A Message From Our Founder:
As a parent of two children who are active in youth sports, I know how expensive it can get outfitting your child in new sports gear every season. My family was motivated by our love for sports and passion to helps kids of all demographic backgrounds to have the same opportunities as our own kids.
The accumulation of quality mitts, bats, soccer balls, basketballs, cleats, etc. in my garage got me thinking that there must be hundreds of kids who would give anything to have a fraction of all this stuff that’s going unused. Now, multiply that by what’s in the garage of thousands of others just like us… and we might just be onto something!
Studies show that students who participate in sports achieve better grades, increased attendance rates and higher test scores. Besides the education and fitness benefits, sports also help kids learn numerous life and leadership skills while encouraging them to make smarter and healthier life choices.
VSGO collects and warehouses new and gently-used sports equipment and then allows pre-approved groups to shop our warehouse inventory and select all the equipment they need at little or no cost to them.
