Sports Imports Named Title Sponsor of Blueprint Volleyball

COLUMBUS, OH – Sports Imports has signed on as the title sponsor for Blueprint Volleyball, an elite coaching group founded by 2x National Championship Coach Kevin Hambly, former US Women’s and Men’s Olympic National Coach Hugh McCutcheon, and former Penn State Assistant Coach and current ESPN/BIG10 TV Analyst + Assistant Director of Austin Junior Volleyball, Salima Rockwell.

The sponsorship contract begins in January 2021. Sports Imports will be the exclusive net system provider for Blueprint Volleyball clinics and demonstrations and the official title sponsor of all Blueprint Volleyball clinics. 

“The whole team at Sports Imports is excited about this partnership. We had the privilege of being part of the first Blueprint Clinic in 2019 (Austin, Texas), and it was clear to see the vision of Blueprint. We admire who these three coaches are as people, and as coaches. We are thrilled to be part of such a great investment in the coaching community.” – Cyndie Dunlap, CEO, Sports Imports

Blueprint will be hosting its second annual coaching clinic this May in Frisco, Texas. Providing attendees with a personal and meaningful experience is at the forefront. The clinic will focus on coaching philosophy, team strategy, and practice planning – with on-court and off-court demonstrations and instruction. In order to provide a more intimate experience and ensure one-on-one time with each attending coach, the upcoming clinic will have limited attendee registrations.

“Since Blueprint’s inception, Sports Imports has supported us, and to partner with them in a more official capacity over the next few years is exciting.   Sports Imports is the leader in volleyball equipment in this country.   That certainly caught our attention, but what stood out to us and why we find this partnership so valuable is who they are as an organization.  As we talked about the potential collaboration and vision, it became apparent that both organizations were in line from a values and principles standpoint. The partnership seemed natural from there.“ – Kevin Hambly, Blueprint Volleyball
