Maize’s District Board of Education has unanimously approved the contract with Under Armour for athletic apparel. Under the contract, Under Armour will provide Maize with gear for all sports.

“The ten percent reward we get all goes into one pool,” district athletic director Marc Haught said. “We will use that money to disperse out to programs as they need.”

The coaching staff will have to be wearing Under Armour products when at a sporting events. As for athletes, any school given uniforms or warm ups will be Under Armour. If the student were to go out and buy shoes to wear at the sporting event they participate in, that would be acceptable though the school is suppose to encourage the use of Under Armour products.

“What we will probably do is set up a website in which one can order Under Armour products,” Haught said.

Along with the new contract, the district has also raised athletic fees from 35 dollars to 40 dollars in order to play sports.
