Not your average sports league
Breakaway Social Sports is a community-oriented social sports league that offers a variety of athletic competition and social activities. We are also focused on strengthening local businesses and charities in SW Washington while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle for adults.
- 1 To host sports and activities that offer an enjoyable and competitive experience
- 3 Striving to make a meaningful impact and to initiate more community involvement
Our Three Pillars
Play for a Purpose
10% of all registration fees are donated to local charities.
We are not your average sports league. We are dedicated to the enrichment of our community by giving back to local charities. Every time you participate in a Breakaway Social Sports league you are directly supporting local charities that are making a profound impact on people in need of a helping hand.
It is always great to lead a healthy and active lifestyle, but it's even better to live that lifestyle and make a positive impact in your own community ...we call this Play for a Purpose.
For each of our leagues, every top team at the end of the season will either select from a list of partnered charities, or selected their own charity to donate 10% of all registration fees collected in their respective leagues.
Here are some charities we’ve partnered up with:

The idea for Breakaway grew from the desire of all four founders to continue participating in sports, which led to discussions about the need for more adult sports opportunities in Clark County, Vancouver area.
