UNDER ARMOUR
American Youth Football Presenting Sponsor

It started with a simple plan to make a superior T-shirt. A shirt that provided compression and wicked perspiration off your skin rather than absorb it. A shirt that worked with your body to regulate temperature and enhance performance.
Founded in 1996 by former University of Maryland football player Kevin Plank, Under Armour is the originator of performance apparel - gear engineered to keep athletes cool, dry and light throughout the course of a game, practice or workout. The technology behind Under Armour's diverse product assortment for men, women and youth is complex, but the program for reaping the benefits is simple: wear HeatGear® when it's hot, ColdGear® when it's cold, and AllSeasonGear® between the extremes.
Under Armour's mission is to provide the world with technically advanced products engineered with our superior fabric construction, exclusive moisture management, and proven innovation. Every Under Armour product is doing something for you; it's making you better. Visit us at www.underarmour.com |

RIDDELL
Riddell has been a leading innovator in high performance athletic equipment for 80 years. Today, Riddell football helmets, shoulder pads, protective equipment & apparel can be seen on nearly every football field spanning all levels of play. The Riddell Revolution® helmet is the standard against which all football helmets are measured. An extensive long-term study by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center was published in the February 2006 issue of Neurosurgery. The results were impressive: Players wearing the Riddell Revolution football helmet were 31% less likely to suffer a concussion than athletes who wore traditional or standard football helmets. Riddell continues to innovate – last year launching a unique fitting system for the Revolution termed Ideal Fit and a groundbreaking protective feature -- a push-button Quick ReleaseTM Face Mask Attachment System that certified athletic trainers are demanding. Riddell recently launched its latest breakthrough innovation -- the Revolution Speed football helmet – a combination of protection, comfort, and style that is taking the football world by storm. Riddell’s proud history has been built on their passionate quest for the next improvement in athlete protection and their drive to advance the state-of-the-art in athletic equipment, please visit www.riddell.com |

UNIVERSAL CHEERLEADERS ASSOCIATION
Universal Cheerleaders Association was founded in 1974 by Jeff Webb to provide high quality educational training for college and high school cheerleaders through summer camps and clinics on college campuses.
During its first couple of years, the company literally operated out of Jeff’s apartment in Memphis, Tennessee. Instructors were hired from college squads and 4000 students attended Varsity’s 24 camps in the Midwest and the South during the summer of 1975.
During the next several years, UCA began to rapidly expand as their reputation for outstanding instructional programs, and in particular the emphasis on cheerleading gymnastics, quickly spread.
UCA’s goal is to inspire leadership on and off the field. All of UCA’s material and programs are centrally focused on the traditional role of cheerleading. UCA believes that the primary purpose of a cheerleader is to support athletic programs and lead the crowd before and during games. Cheerleaders play an instrumental role in raising, leading and maintaining school spirit in and around their communities. In short, they are leaders in building general morale at their school!
