Smack Sportswear Named Official Title Sponsor & Exclusive Provider of Volleyball Apparel for New England Winterfest and SpikeFest Tournaments

Redondo Beach, CA. – July 6, 2020 – Smack Sportswear is very happy to announce a three-year partnership with two New England Volleyball Region Convention Center tournaments. Smack will be the title sponsor for Winterfest, held over three consecutive weekends in January at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford and SpikeFest, held over the President’s Day Weekend in Providence, RI and Springfield, MA.  This partnership will allow Smack to continue supporting the sports’ young athletes at every level, both indoor and on the beach.

Smack will have a major presence at both events, allowing club directors and coaches from over 700 teams to view our high quality team apparel as well as create their own custom designs. Smack will also offer free team pics in the Smack Photo Booth, as well as give athletes and attendees the opportunity to win prizes in the vertical jump or speed spike contests, and much more.

Two Time USA Olympian and Smack Eastern Region Manager Donald Suxho stated: “This is a monumental partnership for Smack. New England is near and dear to my heart as my family set up roots in Boston in 1995. My father Peter & brother Rando Suxho have been coaching for Beantown & Natick High School for many years as well. I am very excited to see the growth of volleyball there and I applaud the NERVA Leadership as well as the volleyball community for their hard work.”

“We are excited to announce this partnership with Smack Sportswear as a sponsor of Winterfest and SpikeFest. Smack Sportswear is a true volleyball company founded by volleyball players and remains dedicated to the needs of our sport.” said Dave Peixoto NERVA Commissioner.

Smack’s name and reputation in the volleyball world is well-known and we look forward to collaborating with them in growing the sport we both love! We are honored Smack has chosen to sponsor these two events…Winterfest, the longest running New England Convention Center event hosted annually since 2010 in Hartford, CT and SpikeFest which launched in 2020.” said JVC President, AJ Joseph.
