Andy Campion

Chief Executive Officer & Chairman of Unrivaled Sports

Unrivaled Sports, Under Armour and DICK'S will collaborate on a series of integrated, experiential activations designed to bring the partnerships to life for participants and fans with a broader roadmap of initiatives to follow throughout the year and beyond. Initial tentpole efforts are tied to Ripken Nationals, a premier 12U baseball national championship tournament in its inaugural year, where athletes will see big league experiences like never before, including:

 

  • Content series from Under Armour celebrating the MVPs of Ripken Nationals and highlighting incredible plays each day of the Ripken Nationals Championship
  • DICK'S Sporting Goods Post-Game Press Conference social content series spotlighting youth athletes and coaches as they share live reactions to the tournament's most pivotal moments

 

Additionally, Under Armour is now the exclusive performance apparel partner of Ripken Nationals and the Ripken Nationals Championship. All youth athletes playing the Ripken Nationals Championship and all marquee Unrivaled Baseball baseball events will be outfitted with Under Armour apparel. Under Armour is also the official performance apparel partner for Unrivaled Flag events, including the Youth Flag Football World Championships and the High School Girls National Flag Football Competition, which features 5on5 and 7on7 tournaments, round robin games, playoffs and championships.

"Under Armour is proud to partner with Unrivaled Sports. Unrivaled showcases a level of excellence in youth sport and Under Armour's committed to helping drive innovation and performance by delivering the best product and experiences for young athletes at Unrivaled tournaments and events."
