Virginia Amateur Sports (VAS) is a small nonprofit organization based in Lynchburg, Virginia, operating within the spectator sports field. It administers more than ten events each year, including the Virginia Commonwealth Games hosted at Liberty University, which is described as Virginia’s largest multi-sport festival. The Games invite residents from across the state to participate regardless of age or skill, and they rely on a grassroots network of volunteers alongside support from local businesses and governments, contributing to an estimated economic impact of about $4 million in the area. VAS is governed by a board of directors with representation from communities across the state and holds affiliations with the National Congress of State Games, with sanctioning from the NCSG, VHSL, NCAA, and the United States Olympic Committee as a Games participant. Its mission focuses on promoting physical fitness and healthy lifestyles through education, training, and competition in sports. A notable development in recent years includes a 2023 partnership with Cube International to support its events and operations.
