McDavid USA has announced a new formal partnership with Trilogy Lacrosse.
Trilogy, a national lacrosse company that has instructed more than 8,500 student-athletes since 2005-2,500 in 2010 alone-has established a reputation as a leader in player development and mentoring through clinics, day camps, overnight camps and select teams. But this is the first year that Trilogy will equip athletes with gear to reduce the prevalence and severity of injuries.
McDavid has agreed to provide the players and directors with protective performance apparel and sports medical products.
“Our partnership with McDavid is a significant step forward in Trilogys growth,” Ryan Boyle, co-founder and CEO of Trilogy said. “We have a larger network of players than ever and because of that, we have a responsibility to provide them with more quality products that we believe in.”
Boyle, a three-time Team USA Lacrosse Athlete and current member of the MLL Boston Cannons and NLL Philadelphia Wings, has personally been wearing and endorsing McDavid products since 2007.
“Lacrosse is a violent, aggressive, physical sport and I need that extra layer of protection,” Boyle said. “Our mantra at Trilogy is that ‘We Teach What We Do. If the instructors are using McDavid daily-why shouldnt our student-athletes?”
“This union is a natural evolution from what has been a great relationship between McDavid and Ryan for years,” Rey Corpuz, director of marketing for McDavid said. “Were taking our commitment to the next level and the result is sure to have an industry-wide impact.”
McDavid will also be supporting the growth of the sport through several scholarships for young athletes through Trilogy. And to aid efforts in continuing education, which to date has been Trilogys primary focus, McDavid plans to disseminate informational packets at all camps and clinics.
