A Sporting Goods Store With A Mission Beyond Sports.

Sporting World RF was started because River Falls needed it. When the local sporting goods store closed, families — especially those on a tighter budget — lost access to affordable gear in a town that runs on sports.

So we opened. Run by volunteers. Priced for real people. And every year, net proceeds go directly to the River Falls Community Food Pantry as a single annual donation; a collective impact built one purchase at a time.

That's the cycle. You buy gear. A neighbor gets fed. A kid gets back in the game.

Athletes of the Month

Each month, we celebrate two local athletes: one from River Falls Youth Sports and one from UW-RF.

    What has Sorel has to say…

    I like to play soccer because I get to compete and challenge myself. I get to be active while having fun, and I get to build special relationships with my teammates.

    Sporting World is a cool store because it offers affordable gear for everyone, they recycle equipment, and all the profits go towards the food pantry of River Falls to help the community
