USA Field Hockey Extends Landmark Partnership with YOLO Sportswear Through 2029
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Field Hockey is pleased to announce a multi-year agreement with YOLO Sportswear, extending one of the sport’s most enduring and influential partnerships, through 2029. Under the renewed agreement, YOLO Sportswear will continue as the presenting sponsor of the National Indoor Tournament (NIT) and National Indoor Tournament Qualifier (NITQ) from 2027 through 2029.
The extension reinforces a decades-long collaboration that has helped shape the growth, visibility, and competitive experience of indoor field hockey across the United States.
For generations of athletes, coaches, and families, the National Indoor Tournament has become more than a championship event, it is the cornerstone of the indoor season. With YOLO Sportswear’s continued leadership and investment, the event is poised to build on its remarkable momentum and deliver an even stronger experience for the sport’s expanding community.
“YOLO Sportswear has been more than a sponsor; they have been a true partner in advancing our sport,” said Simon Hoskins, USA Field Hockey’s Executive Director. “Chris and YOLO’s 30-year long-standing commitment has helped transform the National Indoor Tournament into one of the most anticipated and professionally delivered events in the hockey calendar.”
Over the years, the National Indoor Tournament has evolved into a premier, multi-weekend national event series featuring multiple age divisions and venues — a growth trajectory fueled in part by YOLO Sportswear’s sustained support and deep understanding of outfitting the field hockey community.
As YOLO Sportswear celebrates a milestone anniversary, the renewal reflects both legacy and forward momentum.
“As we enter our 30th year in business, we couldn’t be prouder to continue our commitment and long-time support of USA Field Hockey and the National Indoor Tournament,” said Chris Fechter, YOLO Sportswear Owner and founder.
“Over our 30 years it has truly been an honor to serve and be a part of this wonderful field hockey community. We are humbled and blessed to have made a significant impact on the organization, the event, the sport, and all who enjoy playing it. The National Indoor Tournament, which has seen incredible growth over our many years sponsoring it, holds a special place for us. What was once a single weekend event has expanded into a multi-week phenomenon comprising four national tournaments, spanning three weeks and two venues. We understand it, we understand what the members expect from us, and we work hard to execute that. It’s been extremely rewarding to be part of the success and growth of this unique and popular event.”
“As we continue this journey, we will always prioritize a ‘members first’ approach and work tirelessly to ensure an exceptional event experience.”
The renewed partnership underscores a shared vision between USA Field Hockey and YOLO Sportswear: delivering best-in-class national events while strengthening connections across athletes, coaches, clubs, and generations of participants.
With participation in indoor field hockey continuing to rise nationwide, the agreement ensures stability, consistency, and continued investment in one of the sport’s most celebrated competitive pathways.
The National Indoor Tournament and National Indoor Tournament Qualifier annually welcome thousands of athletes and spectators, serving as a premier competitive platform and a defining experience for teams across the country.
Together, USA Field Hockey and YOLO Sportswear will continue building an event environment centered on performance, community, and excellence — ensuring the National Indoor Tournament remains a hallmark of the indoor season experience through 2029 and beyond.
