Friction Gloves will return as a league partner of the Ultimate Frisbee Association (UFA) for the 2025 season. The “Official Glove” of the UFA, Friction has collaborated with the league since 2023, showcasing the original and most premium glove product within disc sports.

“We’re excited to continue our relationship with the first and the best,” said UFA CEO & Commissioner Tim DeByl. “Friction Gloves help many of our players maintain their elite play, even in the toughest of conditions.”

Established in 2012, Friction Gloves include features to provide greater accuracy in throws and catch completions. The gloves have reinforced palms, double stitching, and 4-way stretch in the thumb area for extra durability. Friction also provides custom gloves and color options for teams and tournaments, including screen printed and spot sublimation designs, as well as disc golf gloves. 

To celebrate another season of collaboration with the UFA, Friction is also offering an exclusive promotion of 25% off all gloves from November 19-24 using the code “UFAGLOVE”. For more information and to view all Friction products, visit frictiongloves.com. 

“The top ambassadors for Friction Gloves play in the UFA,” said Friction founder Chris “Hanky” Hancock. “And it’s great to see them share our brand with developing youth, new players and fans. Part of our mission is to help grow the sport, so It’s great to join the UFA again for another season!” Chris played for the Oregon Steel (formerly Portland Nitro) during the franchise’s inaugural season in 2022 and has returned to coach the team this year.

The UFA will feature Friction products throughout digital platforms and on-site at games throughout the 2025 season, beginning in late April. For more information,visit watchufa.com.
