NJCAA partners with Force3 Pro Gear
Charlotte, NC – The NJCAA has announced a partnership with Force3 Pro Gear to become the Official Baseball and Softball Protective Equipment and Catcher's Mask of the NJCAA. As a partner, Force3 Pro Gear will present NJCAA baseball and softball programs with the most protective and quality products to ensure the safety and well-being of student-athletes.
Force3 Pro Gear values its involvement with two-year colleges as Tyler Flowers, catcher for the Atlanta Braves and former baseball student-athlete at Chipola (FL), was the first catcher in MLB history to wear the Defender Mask. Flowers has been instrumental in the growth of Force3 Pro Gear and its products.
"This partnership is especially meaningful for me," stated Flowers. "When I played for Chipola, nothing like this was available. This mask is a game-changer with its patented Shock Suspension System technology. I have seen firsthand where a catcher or umpire should have been knocked out of a game, injured, and sidelined for a month, but were not because they were wearing a Force3 mask. There's no reason not to have this for every catcher at every level."
Force3 Pro Gear is revolutionizing the way that masks, gear, and gloves play a role in the success of student-athletes' playing career, but more importantly their health.
"We're extremely excited and proud to partner with the NJCAA for both baseball and softball," stated Jason Klein, Force3 Pro Gear President. "We're even more excited for the student-athletes who will benefit from a health and safety standpoint with our patented technologies. Our Defender Mask has an unmatched proven safety track record through the highest levels of baseball. It is no wonder more catchers, teams, and leagues are turning to Force3 to keep their players safe and on the field. The NJCAA should be commended for recognizing this, putting their student-athletes' health and well-being first."
With the agreement, Force3 Pro Gear's team will work closely with NJCAA athletic programs to issue precautionary measures through advanced equipment with proven comfort. For concussions and other prevalent traumas, Force3 Pro Gear is working ahead to significantly reduce injuries alike.
"The NJCAA is always looking for innovative ways to increase safety and minimize injury across its sports," said Dr. Christopher Parker, NJCAA President & CEO. "There's a reason why Force3 Pro Gear has been featured and used by so many. Their products will protect our student-athletes and keep them on the field."
