McDavid has been named the Official Sports Medicine and Protective Apparel partner of the NeXt All-American Classic, being held in Chicago on Sunday, April 3. The game features 24 of the best high school basketball seniors in America.
“We want the best equipment for our athletes and that's McDavid,” Celeste Arnold, official spokesperson of NeXt All-American Classic said. “We are delighted that McDavid has teamed up with us to deliver a great show to fans.”
McDavid will outfit the players in HexPad protective shorts, shirts and shooter sleeves.
“Players who compete at full force are bound to hit the ground at full force from time to time,” Rey Corpuz, director of marketing for McDavid said. “And that's exactly why basketball stars at every level use HexPad protection. It absorbs the impact of a hard hit and enables athletes to play harder, longer.”
The game is expected to raise money for local charities, schools and non-profit organizations. McDavid's sponsorship extends to all events throughout the week.
The NeXt All-American Classic game will be broadcast live on CBS College Sports. The player roster has been released and can be found here: http://www.nextallamericanclassic.com/
