Grip Spritz Traction Mat heads to the NADC, AVCA, and More!

Grip Spritz at the National Athletic Director Conference, NCAA Volleyball Final 4, Sports Inc. and more!

Since we last updated our travels in September, we've been all over the place!

Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association

Starting in October, we made our annual trip to the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Clinic. This is our third year working with the state of Wisconsin and it's one of our favorite events. We actually got our first 'Elite' Traction Mat out in world here!

Grip Spritz at the WBCA Clinic
It was our final prototype that was fully ready to go and a coach just had to have it!
We left the WBCA (Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association) and traveled to San Francisco for BABCA (Bay Area Basketball Coaches Association).

Bay Area Basketball Coaches Association

This was our first year attending the BABCA clinic! We've done tons of events in California but usually in Southern California so we got to meet a ton of new coaches!

But, old habits aren't easy to break so we headed down I-5 to Los Angeles to SCIBCA!

Southern California Basketball Coaches Association

We work with tons of high schools and colleges throughout Southern California. This was a great opportunity to catch up with schools we already work with and meet their coaching friends who haven't heard of Grip Spritz yet.

The SCIBA clinic was at the brand new Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers! 
After wrapping up in LA, we headed back to Ohio for the Ohio Athletic Directors Conference!

Ohio High School Athletic Directors Conference

The OIAAA is one of our longest standing events! This is our 5th year making the trip and it's one of our best. It's the reason we have such deep ties with so many coaches and schools in our home state of Ohio!

After leaving Columbus, we had to prep for our three biggest events of 2024!

Sports Inc.

Our next trip was a long drive from Cleveland to Phoenix. Sports Inc.'s fall dealer show gives Grip Spritz the opportunity to showcase all of our products to sporting good store owners from all across the United States.

Sports Inc. is such a great opportunity for Grip Spritz because it gets our traction mat in front of new coaches and athletic directors without us having to travel (more than we already do!) to new states and new events.
Great show and back on the road!

National Athletic Directors Conference

After a quick drive to Austin, we were greeted by over 3,000 athletic directors from all of the US and Canada.

We've attended this show three times! Nashville, Orlando, and now Austin. It's one of the best ways to get our Grip Spritz traction mats to as many teams, schools, and gyms as possible!

Normally, this is where we wrap up our year! But, in 2024, we added a stop!

American Volleyball Coaches Association

On the way home from Austin, we stopped in Louisville for the NCAA Volleyball Final 4!

This was our first time doing a volleyball coaching clinic and it didn't disappoint. We want to continue to expand into new sports and volleyball is one of sports making the most sense. Same court, same shoes, same slips!

The last few months of 2024 were a whirlwind of growth and opportunities and we have even bigger news in 2025!
