WOODSTOCK —  Woodstock  Academy announces a three-year sponsorship deal to become an Under Armour Athletics Apparel School.
Under the agreement, Woodstock Academy will become a Premier Account, purchasing sports uniforms, shoes, equipment, and headwear  from Under Armour and Keith’s II Sports/The Graphic Edge at considerably cheaper prices.
“We are very excited to partner with and gain the support of such a reputable corporation,” Headmaster Sandford said. “This agreement will save our Athletic Department and sports teams a significant amount of money each year and allow us to use that money for other important tools and opportunities for our student athletes.”
Woodstock Academy will display on-field and on-court banners from Under Armour and Keith II Sports/The Graphic Edge and replace sports uniforms when new uniforms are needed by select teams. A brand new online store will also be developed as part of the agreement for parents and families.
“Woodstock Academy  and Under Armour share the same missions, to make athletes better by providing them with the best tools available,”  said Athletic Director Aaron Patterson. “It’s a privilege to work with Under Armour and Keith II Sports/The Graphic Edge to offer our athletes with new, top-of-the-line, and innovative uniforms that provide numerous athletic benefits.”
