Netball Victoria’s Business Development Manager, Aaron Bosse, said it is exciting for his organisation to work with an innovative brand that has a very a unique product range like Supacore.
“They’re doing some revolutionary things in this space, especially with what we have seen from their Coretech range,” Bosse said. “Plus, Supacore’s commitment to investing in netball is clear, so the alignment with the Melbourne Vixens was an obvious choice for us. We look forward to working with Supacore on developing a whole new range of netball specific compression apparel, including custom designed dress shorts that will aid the performance of our athletes and the wider Victorian netball community.”
“Over the course of the partnership we hope to see many boys and girls on netball courts across the state wearing and enjoying their Supacore garments; really transcending the partnership from grassroots to the elite level.”
Supacore’s CEO, Lesley Abeysekera, said her organisation was looking forward to working collaboratively with both the Melbourne Vixens and Netball Victoria.
“We are excited by the emphasis both the Melbourne Vixens and Netball Victoria place on ‘out of the box’ thinking. We feel that our innovation will add value in enhancing on-court performance and assist with injury prevention and recovery in netball players globally.”
