At the conclusion of each showcase the top players will receive a “golden ticket” to the Under Armour Select Game. Spots to attend each showcase are limited. Registration is currently open.
“Access to sport is a major focus for the UA Brand and in the 50th year anniversary of Title IX, providing opportunities for the female athlete is a priority. We are excited to be partnering with 3STEP Sports to build a best-in-class experience for their field hockey athletes and outfitting all players in UA to improve their performance,” said Craig Cummings, the Sr. Director of Sales at Under Armour.
Participants invited to attend the UA Select Game will be outfitted with the following Under Armour items: skort, jersey, game socks, backpack, and performance T-shirt.
