Joliet Catholic Academy Athletics Partners With Adidas

The Joliet Catholic Academy (JCA) Athletic Department has entered into a long-term agreement with Adidas and Lansing Sports. The two sports entities will serve as the sole provider of Angel and Hilltopper athletics apparel.

The exciting partnership was announced last week by Ryan Quigley, Director of Admissions and Communications at Joliet Catholic Academy.

"We are eager to enter into a partnership with Adidas and Lansing Sports because of their product innovation, global brand significance, and most importantly the depth of customer service that both provide their customers. We strive to give Angel and Hilltopper student-athletes an elevated experience here at JCA,” said Quigley. “Partnering with Adidas reinforces the fact that we have one of the strongest brands in high school sports. We are excited about the marketing and branding opportunities both in our community and on a national stage for our athletic programs.”

Adidas is one of the leading sportswear manufacturers in the world. With the new partnership, they will supply the athletic department with discounts on footwear, apparel and equipment for the JCA student-athletes. The entire JCA community, including students and families, can also wear the Adidas apparel, which will also be sold in the JCA Spirit Shop.

“We believe that sports have the power to change lives and we look forward to this new partnership with Joliet Catholic Academy,” said Jim Murphy, director of NCAA Sports Marketing at Adidas North America. “Our mission is to help athletes perform better, and as the creator sports brand we’ll bring our newest and most innovative high-performance products to Joliet Catholic Academy along with our innovation, creativity and collaborative efforts in order to help empower these athletes.”

Joliet Catholic Academy is one of the oldest Catholic high schools in the Chicagoland area with a 150-year history and an enrollment of nearly 650 students. JCA is a part of the East Suburban Catholic Conference, and their athletic programs have won more than 30 State and National Championships. Over 90% of the student body participates in extracurricular activities.
