About Steel

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
THE STEEL WAY

Steel Sports is a social impact organization committed to creating a new standard in youth sports and coaching while forging the next generation of leaders and creating a positive experience for over 100,000 athletes and their families each year. When a kid plays for Steel Sports success comes in many forms: on the field, in the classroom, within their community, at home and in a career.

Steel Sports coaches are teachers, mentors and role models dedicating their lives to our kids. Kids who receive character and leadership development from coaches go further, achieve more and give back. At Steel Sports, we know the impact kids can have on this world, and that’s why we put KIDS FIRST.

MEETING A LEGEND STEEL SPORTS IS BORN

THE LIFE & LEGACY OF
TOMMY LASORDA

After being introduced to baseball Hall of Famer and Los Angeles Dodger legend Tommy Lasorda, Steel Partners executive chairman Warren Lichtenstein founded Steel Sports in 2011. Struck by Tommy’s gift in connecting with others and the power of positive coaching, the impetus for creating Steel Sports is the hope that by instilling Tommy’s values, we create like-minded young adults who will follow in his path.
