In the Making -- Early in 1997, the owners of Velocity Athletics created the Filipino Basketball Association (FBA). The league was created as a way to bring together the Asian community in Jacksonville, FL in an environment that promoted goodwill, camaraderie, and athletic fitness through basketball.

By the fall of 1999, the league had grown to over 30 teams and 300 players. One need that was created by the league's increasing size was the demand for higher quality uniforms.

After taking a close look at the options available at the time, the owners recognized that many companies did not provide a quality product that could be purchased at a reasonable price. They realized that a team's only choices were either a sub standard product at a low price (under $60) or an above average product well over $150 per set. To make matters worse, any customization to the uniforms would add cost on a per application basis.

With a new season beginning, they decided to contact members of one of the owner's family, who are 3rd generation textile manufacturers. After speaking with them, the owners discovered that they could establish a unique relationship directly with a manufacturer that would allow them to provide high quality custom uniforms.

So a decision was made to go with them to provide all uniforms for the league. The teams were extremely happy and impressed with the quality of uniforms they received. The owners had no idea that they would one day be making a business out of uniform sales. However, over the next 3 years, via word of mouth, they were called upon to provide uniforms for other athletic leagues, Boys and Girls Clubs, Police Athletic Leagues, and High Schools.

At the end of 2001, the demand became so great that the owners decided to focus their efforts and resources toward team sports uniforms and athletic apparel as a full time business. They determined that with an economical one-price approach, an unwavering commitment to customer service, and the ability to address the needs of the clients and their customers this new venture would be a success. As a result, they founded Velocity Athletics - a customized athletic apparel and team sports uniform manufacturer that tailors its practices to the needs of its customers.

Presently - after a lengthy process of development and refinement, Velocity Athletics is pleased to announce that response to the products is growing by leaps and bounds. Velocity Athletics currently has dealers servicing each of the 50 states, providing uniforms for thousands of teams throughout the U.S. and Canada.

At Velocity Athletics, we understand that the lifeblood of our company is our dealer network. Paying attention to not only their needs, but also the needs of their customers is the most important aspect of our business. In an effort to satisfy these needs, we strive to live by our company motto: S.U.R.P.A.S.S. Superior, Unrivaled, Reliable Products & Spectacular Service.
