About the OSC

The Omaha Sports Commission was formed in 2003, as a non-profit group dedicated to making Omaha the leading amateur sports community in America. The Commission works closely with area businesses and community leaders to help recruit and promote area sporting events.

Our team is involved in every aspect of local sporting events. Working diligently to ensure Omaha is considered and ultimately chosen during the selection process; managing logistics before, during and after the event; maximizing publicity to ensure that every seat is filled and actively promoting our community as the elite amateur sporting event host.

OUR MISSION

To create a positive economic impact for Omaha and the region through attracting, hosting and supporting amatuer sporting events.

OUR VALUES

  • Enhance the image of Omaha
  • Improve the quality of life for area residents
  • Strive for greater community involvement in OSC events
  • Create a clearer understanding with the business, private and public communities of the importance and value of sports
