Who We Are

There are real problems in the city of Chicago. Luckily, we are problem solvers by nature.

Intentional Sports is located at 1841 N Laramie Ave in Chicago. We transformed 10 acres that were vacant for 45 years into a vibrant campus for sports, education, and wellness because we believe everyone deserves the chance to PLAY.
