CHAMPION SPORTS

The brand has been manufacturing high-quality sports, fitness, and physical education equipment for over 50 years.

Founded in 1961 by Bernard and Dolores Meller, Champion Sports originated in Bronx, NY. Bernard Meller (1918-2013) crafted his first piece of handmade sports equipment, the leather boxing rope with wooden handles. Bernard and Dolores worked side-by-side to create and run the business; which at that time was headquartered in their apartment building’s basement. While Bernard was busy handcrafting jump ropes; Dolores took care of the business’s finances. Their tireless hard work led to further ideas, and those ideas manifested into the sourcing and procurement of a wide variety of products. In their ambition to expand upon a dream, they decided to open their first location in lower Manhattan; Champion Sports became a household name within a family-owned operation.

Our 150,000 square ft. expansive facility is known for its’ wide-ranging product selection, on-time delivery, and in-stock levels of merchandise. Superior assortment, service, and reliability became an identifier for Champion Sports throughout the industry. In order to further service our continually growing customer base, we will be adding on to our infrastructure in the form of additional space, personnel, and expansive resources. We are proud to continue our growth initiatives, progressing with our third-generation operations.
