3N2, an Orlando-based designer and manufacturer of high performance athletic footwear and apparel, has reached sponsorship agreement with the National Youth Baseball Championships (NYBC) and Florida Collegiate Summer League.
The partnership with National Youth Baseball Championships is part of a three-year deal with parent company, Steel Sports. 3N2 will serve as the official uniform supplier of NYBC and feature in television, social media, and online advertising, be the focus of promotions and sweepstakes tourneys, and maintain a visible presence at tournaments in the form of booths and signage.
The National Youth Baseball Championships is the country’s premier travel ball championship for ages 9U-14U. Teams must qualify by winning a title at select events around the nation, and those teams then come together at the NYBC where one national champion is crowned.
Frank Zitaglio, National Director of NYBC, said, “We are very excited to partner with 3N2 as an official sponsor of National Youth Baseball Championships. We believe this partnership will not only elevate our organization as a whole, it will benefit our players and coaches on the diamond.”
As partner with Florida Collegiate Summer League, 3N2 becomes the exclusive supplier of uniforms, footwear, and apparel to all Florida League players and employees. In addition, 3N2 will be actively promoted in Florida League online marketing efforts and across all Florida League diamonds via on-field signage.
The Florida League is a wood bat baseball league with six teams in Central Florida. Founded in 2003, the Florida League provides a valuable opportunity for college players to enhance their skills against top-level competition with the goal of preparing them for a career in professional baseball.
As a 501c3 non-profit organization, the Florida League is dedicated to promoting the game of baseball in Central Florida. In addition to summer ball, the League also hosts a National High School Invitational tournament, a high school travel ball program, a Spring Break Showcase for unsigned high school players, and a Celebrity Golf Tournament featuring MLB players in the fall. The Florida League also hosts camps and clinics for youth players throughout the summer.
The Florida League is recognized by Baseball America as one of the top summer leagues in the United States. Presently, 368 former players have been drafted by Major League Baseball (MLB) teams; 18 of those have reached the MLB level.
