History 

Academy Sports + Outdoors was started in 1938, when Gochman and his business partner buy Southern Sales, a San Antonio-based Army-Navy with six stores in that year was no longer earning a profit. Southern Sales was the founder of History Academy Sports + Outdoors. Gochman was a San Antonio-based lawyer at the time. Although he did not have professional business training, he had learned a lot from his father, Max Gochman, who had run an extra items store in San Antonio and, as of 1935, still managed a small network of businesses in Austin.

We are proud of our past because it has formed who we are now. In 1938, a tire business in San Antonio became the first Academy location. It changed into a business selling military goods before becoming the Academy Sports + Outdoors we know today and starting to sell sports and outdoor items. With a team of more than 22,000 Team Members spread across the South, Southeast, and Midwest, we presently control 270 stores in 18 states.
