WHO IS HPT?
Team Sports Equipment Sales For Schools
HPT Team Members are long time coaches or former collegiate athletes who specialize in a particular sport. They have been accepted as an HPT representative because of their experience and knowledge. Our Team Members are actively involved in their communities coaching, assisting with camps and generally being ambassadors for their sport. They are here to help your school and university.
As you know, many coaches are volunteering or working for minimum pay while devoting much of their time and often even money to helping athletes in their community. When you purchase equipment through an HPT Team Member you are saving money but also subsidizing the effort of a sports team coach who is actively working with athletes.
Thank You for your Business!
I would like to thank you for visiting our web page and hope you will give us the opportunity to assist you with your equipment needs. We wish you and your athletes continued success. If you have any questions or suggestions please drop us a line.
