Academy Sports & Outdoors

Academy Sports + Outdoors is one of the nation's largest sporting goods and outdoor stores. With 259 stores and counting, we offer a broad assortment of quality hunting, fishing, and camping equipment and gear, along with sports and leisure products, footwear, apparel and much more.

Academy is headquartered out of Katy, TX, a suburb of Houston, TX.

Over the last several decades, the company has grown substantially from its small beginnings. Sales reached one billion dollars in 2003, two billion dollars in 2007, three billion dollars in 2012, and four billion dollars in 2014. In fiscal 2020, sales exceeded $5.69 billion.

At Academy Sports + Outdoors, we believe the diversity of our Board of Directors, Team Members, customers, and all others with whom we interact enhances the quality of our work environment and our customers’ shopping experience. Academy encourages diversity, inclusion and belonging (DIB) and requires that all Team Members and vendors interact fairly, equally, and respectfully toward others. 

We have a DIB Committee composed of a diverse group of cross-functional leadership, which leads the promotion and development of our ongoing DIB initiatives. We have a network of Team Member Resource Groups (TRGs) and Academy Networking Groups (ANGs), which are Team Member-led and -organized groups formed with the purpose of building meaningful connections with fellow Team Members around their diverse cultures and common interests.
