History

Since 1976, Sports Imports has been the industry leader in designing, engineering, and manufacturing volleyball equipment in the Americas. In 2023, we proudly became a 100% employee-owned business, strengthening our commitment to excellence. Our mission is simple: design and provide the highest quality volleyball equipment while delivering the best customer experience. Since our inception, we have been in an exclusive partnership with Senoh, the official manufacturer and supplier of the FIVB and Olympic Games. Our products have revolutionized the sport through cutting-edge innovation and proprietary designs.

The original inground floorplate and sleeve, along with the famous red pin-stop poles were just the beginning. In 2012, we launched the renowned SI-1 – the first all-carbon volleyball pole, which continues to be the best-selling pole on the market. The SI-1 is engineered for safety, performance, and quality. We back it up with a Lifetime Performance Warranty, just like the original Senoh pole.

100% Employee Owned SINCE 2023

Sports Imports has cemented its position as the leading provider of exceptional customer service and products that have been designed to deliver top-notch performance. We proudly serve as the trusted partner and official net system of the NCAA, NJCAA, USAV, NFHS, and AVCA. Our direct sales team has earned the confidence of over 92% of Division I college programs, tens of thousands of high schools, and countless athletic facilities nationwide. In 2010, Sports Imports was inducted into the AVCA Hall of Fame for our contributions and commitment to the volleyball industry.
