England Lacrosse is delighted to announce VYPR SPORTS as our official grip sock partner, providing high quality performance sports socks to our England teams in 2022.
The new partnership covers our England women’s, box, and U21 men’s teams throughout the summer as they compete in the World Lacrosse Women’s World Championship, European Box Lacrosse Championship, and World Lacrosse Men’s U21 World Championship respectively.
VYPR SPORTS are a sports brand who specialise in high quality grip socks for performance athletes who are looking for marginal gains within their sport.
The doctrine of marginal gains states that in any area of a given sport – no matter how small or apparently insignificant – you should look to make all possible improvements.
VYPR SPORTS believe that footwear, in particular grip socks, is a specific area where significant marginal gains can be not only captured, but also felt.
Their trademarked foot stability technologies within each sock secures the wearer’s foot inside their boot/shoe reducing the chance of slippage resulting in maintained power when changing direction at pace.
VYPR SPORT technology also includes anatomical shaping, and targeted arch support to ensure the best fit of the sock to your foot. When combined with the technical grip, the chances of blisters are dramatically reduced. Structure compression aids support and helps to prevent swelling through increased blood circulation. This, in turn helps stimulate quicker recovery. The inclusion of premium yarns, and technologies applied to yarns such as Drirelease® in the Suregrip® Lite sock, gives 4 x faster wicking capabilities than the average sock which helps keep feet drier for longer. Strategically placed venting also help promote both breathability and wicking.
As our England teams look to perform to their best in each summer tournament, England Lacrosse Head of Commercial & Marketing, Caroline Royle, believes VYPR SPORTS can assist the teams in reaching that next level.
“Our England teams are always striving to be the best and we believe this new partnership with VYPR SPORTS can help us achieve that with their high quality, high performance, and elite athlete approved grip socks.
“We’re delighted to have VYPR SPORTS onboard as we enter an exciting period for lacrosse in England and on the international stage.
“Having worked with numerous top elite athletes in sports such as football, rugby, netball and numerous other sporting disciplines, VYPR SPORTS is a leader in their field and can help propel our England teams to the next level this summer.”
Roger Orr, Managing Director at VYPR SPORTS, commented:
“We are delighted and thrilled to be entering into this partnership with England Lacrosse. We see this as a fantastic opportunity to showcase our performance grip socks on such an exciting, exhilarating, and fast paced sport. We look forward to a long, ongoing partnership with England Lacrosse.”
