Rapid City Sports Commission looks forward to future of sports in the area

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – The Rapid City Sports Commission was created in 2022 and is looking to grow sports in the community. Thanks to the commission, Rapid City is now home to many new regional and national sporting events.

The goal of the commission is to grow sports and make them more accessible to those in the community. The commission is run by funding through the city, so as the City Council works through the 2025 budget, Sports Commission president, Domico Rodriguez hopes to see some of the funds allocated towards the sporting commission.

This year, the sports commission brought a brand new baseball tournament to the area, bringing in thousands of athletes. This not only benefits those athletes but the entire community benefits from tourist spending.

Next year, the commission is looking forward to hosting the Trampoline and Tumbling National Championships, along with the BMX National Championship happening the week after. The commission works closely with the Parks and Recreation Department to make sure all events benefit everyone in the community.
