American Sports Centers in Anaheim is closing

American Sports Centers, the large training facility near the 5 freeway in Anaheim, has closed.

Matt Kanne, president and chief executive officer of American Sports Centers, said the organization’s lease of the building on Anaheim Blvd. will be terminated Wednesday.

Kanne said the shutdown of indoor sports activities because of the coronavirus pandemic forced the closure.

“American Sports Centers ownership was working through things as best they could with COVID,” Kanne said. “We cut 80 employees in May and we had all sorts of cost cutting.

“And now here we are at the end of summer and no tournaments are on the schedule and we’ve run out of room on the runway.”

Kanne said it is his understanding that the building will be leased to a manufacturing firm.

American Sports Centers, which opened in 2004, was used by USA Volleyball men’s and women’s teams, the Southern California Volleyball Association, the Open Gym Premier grassroots basketball program for which Kanne also is chief executive officer, and many other sports organizations.

Kanne suspects that some of the groups will migrate to the Momentous Volleyball Club training facility in Irvine. He said he might take Open Gym Premier there or search for a building Open Gym could acquire or lease.

USA Volleyball today had yet to announce where it would train its teams.

Kobe Bryant frequently worked out at American Sports Centers, Kanne said.
