The American Conference and Ecore Athletic announced a partnership naming Ecore Athletic the preferred athletic flooring provider of the American Conference.
“Ecore Athletic shares our commitment to investing in student-athletes, our member institutions and the communities where we compete,” said American Commissioner Tim Pernetti. “This partnership elevates every space where our student-athletes train, compete and recover, and it leaves a lasting mark in Tampa long after the final buzzer of our basketball championships. It is another example of American RISE Ventures building innovative partnerships that deliver true value in unique ways.”
As part of the agreement, Ecore Athletic will receive the designation of Preferred Athletic Flooring Provider of the American Conference. Ecore Athletic will also donate a court to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay during the 2027 American Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships, played March 9-14, 2027, at the Yuengling Center and hosted by the University of South Florida. The court will remain in the Tampa community after the championships.
“Partnering with the American Conference is a natural extension of Ecore’s mission to elevate athletic spaces with high-performance flooring that supports the evolving needs of sports facilities,” said David Sides, vice president of strategic partnerships at Ecore. “Student-athletes across the conference deserve surfaces built for performance and built to last, and we’re proud to engineer flooring solutions for the full athletic facility, from weight rooms and training areas to locker rooms and recovery spaces.”
