Adidas has signed on as the official apparel partner of Spire Academy, the sports boarding and day school located in Geneva, OH.
The agreement, starting with the 2026-27 academic year, spans Spire’s varsity programs, including basketball, soccer, track and field, and the academy’s full slate of competitive sports, with Adidas outfitting student-athletes, coaches, and staff across competition, training, travel, and campus life.
“Adidas does not partner casually,” said Drew Green, chairman of Spire Academy. “Having them across our campus, on our athletes, and in our camps is a signal to families and the industry about what Spire is becoming. This is part of building something the sport hasn’t seen before.”
Basketball is a major focus of the partnership. Spire Academy’s men’s national program, led by Head Coach and Director of Basketball Kevin Boyle, finished the 2025/2026 season ranked No. 4 in the country. Over his high school coaching career, Boyle has coached multiple No. 1 NBA Draft picks and more than 150 Division I players while securing eight national championships.
“The best players in the world want to be seen by the world,” said Boyle. “This news gives our players a global stage, international competition, and the backing of one of the most recognized brands in basketball. That is the level we are recruiting to and the level we are coaching to.”
The partnership extends across every Spire varsity program, including its soccer program that operates as both a school and club model.
“The players we recruit are choosing between Spire and top-level development environments around the world,” said Sean Lane, Spire’s director of soccer. “What sets us apart is that we are running a school and a club together, with the same coaches, same standards, and same long-term plan for every player. When Adidas is on your kit at every level of that, the conversation changes. These athletes grew up watching the Champions League, the World Cup, and the Premier League. This partnership puts Spire in a different category for the players we want to attract.”
