COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Field Hockey is pleased to announce that YOLO Sportswear will continue their sponsorship for the 2024 iteration of Summer Bash at the Beach (SBB). In addition, a partnership with Busch Gardens Williamsburg will allow athletes and their family to explore their parks, including Water Country USA at a discounted rate.

“Summer Bash has become one of our favorite events of the year,” commented Chris Fechter, owner at YOLO Sportswear. “We love seeing the little ones’ joy and enthusiasm for the game and we’re thrilled to be able to support field hockey at the younger levels. SBB helps us help USA Field Hockey’s mission to Grow the Game!”

YOLO Sportwear’s sponsorship means great quality souvenir merchandise and apparel with the Summer Bash at the Beach brand to help athletes and their families create memories for a lifetime.

This summer tournament, managed by Hometown Sports and sanctioned by USA Field Hockey, will take place on Friday, July 19 through Sunday, July 21, 2024, at the Virginia Beach Regional Training Center in Virginia Beach, Va. The event will feature 7v7 play on both water-based and dry field turf surfaces and is open to Co-Ed divisions of U-10, U-12, and U14, and a division of U-14 Girls.

In addition to the fun of field hockey and the excitement of shopping for YOLO Sportswear SBB merchandise, athletes and their families can extend their stay in the area to take advantage of special discounts offered by Busch Gardens Williamsburg theme park and Water Country USA water park before or after the tournament. Discounts include up to 20% off standard ticket prices and the option to purchase a sports pass, that allows athletes to visit three times within a 14-day period. Additional discounts apply for team purchases. Registered SBB athletes will receive the offer via email upon their registration to attend an event at the Virginia Beach venue.

“The Summer Bash at the Beach event at Virginia Beach Regional Training Center is a fantastic way for the younger athletes to compete, work on their skills and have a great time in the process,” said Ginger Wheeler, Commercial Partnership and Marketing Manager for USA Field Hockey. “YOLO Sportswear’s sponsorship and support is greatly appreciated and USA Field Hockey is thrilled to work with this proven vendor and friend to field hockey. Our families have come to know and love YOLO.
