Trigon Sports is a family owned and operated business with more than 60 years of combined experience in the sporting goods industry and it provides high-quality sports equipment for high school, collegiate and professional programs. Trigon’s goal was not to change the sporting goods industry but to make it better and its reputation for providing quality sports equipment is exceeded only by its reputation for great customer service. Trigon’s trademarked brand of sports equipment, ProCage™ and Practice Partner™, led to an expanded product line from baseball and softball, to football, lacrosse, soccer and more. Our business model is simple: Focus on the customer, provide them with high quality sports equipment, and perhaps most important, love what we do.
newest baseball training products is our new Pro 9-hole trainer for pitchers with adjustable height and it gives instant feedback to pitchers with 9 net pockets within the target.

How does working with the dealer/retailer network help enhance your brand?
We have always been primarily wholesale and the dealer/retailer relationship has been vital to our success. We rely on our network of dealers to be the customer-facing aspect of our brand. We understand they represent multiple brands but we go to great lengths to market our brand through tradeshows, print media, along with the thousands of catalogs we mail, to in turn help the dealer sell our products to schools.
What drives the passion your company and your team members have for sports and the sporting goods industry?
Our entire staff are sports-minded people, from playing and coaching at all levels to just being a general fan of the game. You can hear that passion when we are on the phone or in-person at trade shows. Our internal culture within our office is fun and upbeat and that also drives our love of what we do. We love being at the forefront of creating products that affect new ways of training or might possibly have an impact on future athletes.
What are you looking forward to at this year’s Management Conference? Why is it important to attend?
This will actually be our very first Management Conference. We are very excited to network with the very people that we have had business relationships with for over 15 years with this company and nearly 23 years of being in the industry for some of us. The chance to have a more casual environment outside of the trade show grind to be in front of our customers is a fantastic opportunity to talk more about our company on a more personal level and create more brand awareness.

What are some of your new and innovative products the industry should know about?

Baseball is the heart and soul of the Richardson brand. We’re constantly innovating when it comes to how we deliver authentic, premium gear players and coaches are proud to wear. Richardson’s commitment to quality and fit is unmatched, whether it’s our Performance Team Series collection of iconic, game-ready baseball caps or our ultra-customizable PTS uniforms and teamwear.
