COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado, January 3, 2022 -
USA Volleyball, the U.S. national governing body
for the sport of volleyball, and Mizuno, the
global specialty sporting goods company, have
announced details on a new multi-year
partnership beginning in January of 2022 and
lasting through the 2024 Olympics in Paris and
the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Mizuno will exclusively provide uniforms and
apparel to all national teams, footwear to any
athletes that choose, and will outfit all USAV
staff both corporately and at USAV-owned amateur
events. Mizuno will also have a dedicated
presence at USAV events both from an activation
and a retail store perspective.
“We are thrilled to welcome USA Volleyball back
into the Mizuno family,” said Clint Sammons,
Team Sports Director at Mizuno USA. “Mizuno
is—and always will be—committed to growing the
sport of volleyball across the United States and
the globe, and we firmly believe our goals align
perfectly with those of USA Volleyball.”
Formerly longtime partners, Mizuno and USA
Volleyball look to continue to build upon the
success that they shared in the volleyball
community for many years.
“USA Volleyball is excited to be collaborating
again with Mizuno,” said Jamie Davis, President
and CEO of USA Volleyball. “As a leader in
performance apparel and footwear, I know that
our athletes, coaches, officials, staff and
members will enjoy wearing their top-quality
products and that Mizuno will be a key partner
in helping us grow the sport of volleyball over
the next seven years.”
In addition to supplying performance apparel and
footwear to all respective men and women’s
national teams (indoor, beach, sitting, beach
ParaVolley, and the up-and-coming sport of snow
volleyball), Mizuno will work closely with USAV
to maximize the promotional value and exposure
of the partnership, as the sport continues to
gain global popularity.
“By agreeing to a multi-year partnership
covering the next two Olympic Games, we are
committed to supporting not only the fantastic
national teams in their respective quests for
gold through 2028, but also to doing our part to
continue growing the great game of volleyball at
every level,” said Sammons. |
