Baden Sports and the Columbia Empire Volleyball Association (CEVA) inked a multi-year agreement extending Baden as the region’s official indoor volleyball provider.

The extension builds on a partnership that began in 2014, and ensures Baden’s premium leather game ball will continue to be used exclusively in CEVA’s annual Presidents Day Tournament and all championship events.

CEVA, representing one of the 40 regions of USA Volleyball, supports playing opportunities for thousands of girls, boys and adults throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington.

“We’re a company with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest, so supporting local athletes and organizations is something we take great pride in doing,” said Matt Holm, vice president of business development, Baden Sports. “CEVA has been a terrific partner and we’re looking forward to continuing to provide the region with the very best volleyballs, customer support, and service for years to come.”

“Baden and CEVA share the same passion for a better game,” said Jeff Mozzochi, executive director, CEVA. “The Baden team has done an amazing job for us and we are delighted to extend our partnership with them.”

Baden also is the official indoor volleyball of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and provides the official ball to many state high school associations and club programs nationwide.
