Hamilton County Sports Authority: About Us
Hamilton County Sports Authority (HCSA) believes in the power of sports to unite, empower, and create lasting positive community impacts, making Hamilton County, Indiana a premier destination for all. Our champion-caliber athletic facilities and unparalleled support services are second only to our commitment to promoting sports excellence at every level of competition.
Our Mission and Values
Hamilton County Sports Authority is committed to being a leader in sports excellence and community engagement. We do this by living out our values of inclusivity, sportsmanship, integrity, and community partnership. These values start with us and funnel down to coaches and athletes, leading to a healthier sports culture and a better world.
HCSA believes that every aspiring athlete deserves a chance to play, no matter their circumstances, and that sports should build up both children and adults. We’re also passionate about sports sustainability, diversity, and youth development.
Our Partnerships
Sports depend on collaboration. That’s why Hamilton County Sports Authority has partnered with organizations on a local, regional, and national level to spark conversation and encourage action on important topics such as sportsmanship, officiating, environmental sustainability, and adaptive sports.
In 2023, we were the first local sports authority to partner with Officially Human, an organization determined to restore respect to sports officials. Youth sports are facing a looming official shortage, made worse by the disrespect officials often face from parents, spectators, and even coaches. HCSA is supporting the cause by providing awareness and promoting strategies to “humanize” officials and encourage sportsmanship and respect.
Our Facilities
Strategically located in the Midwest just minutes away from the Crossroads of America, Hamilton County Sports Authority offers a large selection of high-quality and easily accessible sports facilities available to host your championship.
Our 400-acre Grand Park Sports Campus is a sports destination like no other, with both indoor and outdoor fields catering to field hockey, football, lacrosse, and soccer, as well as more than two dozen baseball and softball diamonds and eight basketball courts.
Our golf courses are championship ready and have hosted junior tours as well as collegiate and professional championships. We have state-of-the-art indoor aquatic centers that house 50-meter competition pools and outdoor aquatic centers equipped with springboard and platform diving wells, as well as several indoor and outdoor hardcourts.
Not to mention, Hamilton County is the home of two professional arenas that can host anything from basketball to hockey and seating from 2,500 -7,500 with suites and hospitality space.
No matter the sport, Hamilton County is, “Where Champions Play”.
