Equipment for schools — ordered the way your district already buys.
Gear Up Sports specializes in physical education, athletics, and recreation gear for K–12 schools, colleges, parks departments, and nonprofits. We accept purchase orders and offer Net 30 payment terms for approved accounts.
Why schools choose Gear Up Sports

- Purchase orders welcome — Order with your district PO; we confirm before we ship.
- Net 30 for approved accounts — Pay on terms after credit approval (see vendor setup below).
- PE and athletics expertise — Curated catalog for PE, team sports, coaching, field day, and storage.
- Quotes for bulk and multi-item orders — Formal pricing your business office can approve.
- Real people, Pacific time — sales@gearupsports.com, Mon–Fri 9:00am–5:00pm PST.

How to order
Most schools follow the same path: build a list, get a quote if needed, issue a PO, receive goods, pay on terms.
-
Browse and build your list
Create a free Gear Up Sports account so your cart and quotes are saved. Add items from the catalog, or use Add to Quote for bulk quantities, multiple colors, or district pricing.
-
Request a quote (recommended for most school orders)
Submit from any product page or review items on our Request for Quote page. We send formal pricing with item details your purchaser can approve.
-
Issue your purchase order
After you approve the quote (or if you already know what you need), issue a PO from your school or district system. Include your quote number or note that items match your saved Gear Up cart.
-
Send the PO to Gear Up Sports
Email your PO to sales@gearupsports.com, or use our Submit a Purchase Order page. We confirm order details and delivery expectations before shipment.
-
Delivery and payment
We ship to your school or dock. Approved Net 30 accounts receive an invoice according to your terms. Tax-exempt organizations: see vendor setup.

Quotes vs. carts vs. purchase orders
Quotes
Best for bulk pricing, multiple variants, or a document for your business office. Use Add to Quote, then view Your Quote History when logged in.
Add to cart
Best for a straightforward list. Add items, then email sales@gearupsports.com with your account email. We reply to confirm totals and next steps.
Purchase orders
How your district officially commits funds. Your PO must reference confirmed items and prices (quote # or written approval). Unconfirmed POs delay your order.
New vendor setup
Before your first PO, your business office may need standard vendor documents. Gather these early so budget season is not held up.
Net 30 terms: Available to approved school and government accounts. Until approved, we may require prepayment or other terms.
Tax-exempt purchases: Send a valid exemption certificate for your state to sales@gearupsports.com before we process a tax-exempt order.
Questions? Email with subject line New school vendor setup and your district name. We typically respond within one business day.

Frequently asked questions
Do you accept purchase orders?
Yes. We work with schools, districts, and organizations that purchase on PO.
What are your payment terms?
Net 30 is available for approved accounts. New customers should complete vendor setup; we confirm terms when we approve your first order.
Can I order without a quote?
Yes, for simple orders: build a cart, email sales@gearupsports.com, and we confirm pricing before accepting your PO. Quotes are still recommended for bulk and multi-line POs.
How do I get a formal quote for my purchaser?
Use Add to Quote on products or our quote request page. We provide line-item detail suitable for approval workflows.
What should I put on our PO?
Include: PO number, bill-to and ship-to, contact name and phone, quote number (if applicable), SKU or description, quantity, unit price, and requested delivery date if critical.
When will my order ship?
After we confirm your PO against quoted or cart pricing. Peak season (July–September) may add lead time — tell us your in-service date when you submit.
