All Sports Band was an American pop/rock musical group who saw minor chart success in the early 1980s. The band was founded by Tracy Coats, who sought to appeal to a youthful market by dressing the band members as sports figures. Coats spent 18 months auditioning tapes before selecting the band members. The represented sports were auto racing, baseball, boxing, football, and martial arts. The band appeared on both Solid Gold and American Bandstand.

• Alfonso Carey (bass; dressed as a football player)
• "The Boxer" (real name Jimmy Clark; drums)
• Cy Sulak (guitar; baseball player)
