About Us

Who WE ARE

After spending 20 years working for his father at Doug Mathews Team Sports, Tate Mathews founded Mathews Team Sports in 2012 to carry the business forward from father to son. Mathews Team Sports now serves elite high school and university programs, as well as every middle and high school in the prestigious Williamson County School District. Some of these partners include Freed-Hardeman University, Cumberland University, and multiple high school districts across the region.

Our Principles

Mathews Team Sports was founded on four core principles that guide all decisions we make: Strong Partnerships, Product Quality, On-Time Delivery, and Experience Matters.

Strong partnerships

We’re built on the relationships we form with our customers and manufacturers

We believe partnerships go both ways, and when our partners support us, we go above and beyond to support them. Whether it’s screen-printing championship shirts on a Saturday or driving out of state to pick up reconditioned helmets, we do whatever it takes. Our long-standing relationships, including our second seven-year partnership with the Williamson County School District, reflect our commitment to genuine partnership.

Product quality

We partner with many of the top sporting goods manufacturers in the country

For apparel, stock and custom uniforms, we represent adidas, Under Armour, Wilson, Badger and Rawlings among many others. Due to our in-house screen-printing operation, embroiderer and graphic artist, we can quickly deliver top-quality decorated goods to our customers. Schutt, Douglas, Bison, Champro, Fisher and Athletic Specialties are just a few of the brands we carry to supply you with the best equipment available at excellent prices.

Experience matters

Experienced People Who Know How to Get Things Done

Tate Mathews has worked in the sporting goods industry since the age of 16. From washing screens in the print shop, to sorting hundreds of bags for little leagues, to ordering custom football jerseys, you can count on him to know this business inside and out. Our entire team at Mathews Team Sports is trained to help our customers with any aspect of their order.

On-time delivery

On-Time Delivery Backed by Real Communication

We place great value on our promises. It is our goal to deliver customer orders by their deadlines, and we do everything in our power to not only meet but exceed those deadlines. Our entire team is committed to doing whatever needs to be done to deliver on our promises. No one is perfect, but we pride ourselves on communicating with our partners if any delivery date is in jeopardy of not being met. In addition, we offer daily deliveries within the region and communicate with front office staff and coaches when deliveries have been made.
