Cleats is the Valley's Newest Football Outlet
Cleats is proud to be your NEW football equipment & uniform supplier.

Cleats is the official equipment donation partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks Training Centers
The D-backs Training Centers, the official youth baseball and fast-pitch softball camps of the Arizona Diamondbacks will be at a location near you this summer!
The D-backs Training Centers are entering their 10th season and thousands of kids have "Learned to Play the Diamondbacks Way!" To ensure quality instruction, enrollment is limited to a 1:10 ratio of instructor-to-student. In fact, you will often see smaller group sizes to provide the best possible learning environment.
Each camp day and session is highly choreographed to maximize participation and activity time. Our instructors are handpicked by the organization from a group of former professional players, as well as the best local collegiate and high school coaches. Fast-pitch softball camps are instructed by collegiate fast-pitch standouts.
The Arizona Diamondbacks Training Centers, presented by Grand Canyon University, are the official youth baseball and fast-pitch softball camps of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
New this summer: An intermediate level has been added and camp curriculum has been modified to better serve the skills of every player!
Official participating partners of the Arizona Diamondbacks Training Centers include Majestic, Subway, NYS, St. Joseph's Hospital and Cleats.
Congratulations to the 2009 Arizona State High School Champions
