Reebok Sponsorship

The James River Athletic Club (JRAC) is proud to announce their affiliation with Reebok, Team Connection and Hoops and Dreams beginning with the 2004 – 2005 season. These organizations agree to help sponsor JRAC teams - including contributing uniforms and apparel at a reduced costs as well as providing an opportunity for our teams to compete in exposure tournaments that these organizations sponsor. The James River Blaze organization is excited about the potential this relationship brings for both this year and future years.

Reebok entered into a sponsorship agreement with JRAC AAU basketball organization after an extensive review and evaluation process.   Reebok contacted JRAC about this partnership as a result of JRAC’s long and successful history. JRAC is the only organization in the Richmond area to have this affiliation.

This partnership is an acknowledgement of the commitment made by JRAC since the beginning over 21 years ago to offer an opportunity to girls in our community to participate in AAU level basketball competition, both locally and nationally.

With help from Reebok, the future looks bright for the James River Blaze.
