School Sports Sites: Details

School Sports Sites is different from other sites offering web sites for sports teams. While other sites think a generic one-size-fits-all approach works, School Sports Sites believes different sports have different online needs. All of our School Sports Sites will have the basics such as a schedule and the ability to edit any part of the website, but our Web 2.0 sites include technology not seen on any other sports sites and our control panel makes it easy to update your site. In fact, our sites are also VERY EASY to update if you have no experience with web design as each page will have it's own control panel that tells you what you can change. If you can type you shouldn't have much trouble, although we have an extensive support site if you have trouble.

Benefit to Coaches

• The cost of a School Sports Site is comparable to the cost of a web host that doesn't create the website for you, and much less than competitors.
• A School Sports Site provides a number of ways to keep in touch with athletes and parents including emails blasts, news, and a built-in schedule.
• School Sports Sites allows coaches to keep track of uniforms, registration forms, and other items that need to be collected from athletes. One click of a button can send athletes an email specifying items they have not turned in.
• School Sports Sites can store contact information for each athlete, and an athlete can be sent an email from the control panel.
• Coaches can use their School Sports Site to keep attendance and view how often an athlete has been absent or tardy to practice.
• A Start New Season wizard is included that goes through all of the steps necessary at the start of the season such as setting the new schedule and importing athletes from the previous season.
• While the price of a School Sports Site is already low coaches can earn credits in a number of ways such as Liking us on Facebook, submitting bug reports, or referring other coaches.

Benefit to Athletes

• Runners can communicate with coaches and each other using the comment system.
• Team records can be kept on the results/records page to highlight top athletes.
• Each athlete shows up in the search results and their personal page contains all of their results.
• Runners can see their photos used throughout the website including on the slideshow, in the photo gallery, and on the results/records page.
• Cross country runners have access to a runner's diary that they can use to keep track of their mileage and performance.

Benefit to Parents

• Parents can sign up for a site's mailing list to receive email blasts from the coaches.
• Parents can receive emails from the coaches if their athlete has not turned in required forms or their uniform.
• Parents can view photos in the gallery of their athletes and easily download them.
• Parents can view the team schedule and calendar.

Stacking Up Against The Competition

We feel School Sports Sites stacks up pretty well against our competitors. Check out the table if you don't believe us, but we also encourage you to check out their web sites as we think we've got them beat in pretty much every category. You can click on links in the table to see explanations for certain categories. Most sites offer a crippled free version, but we do not because we want you to experience all our sites have to offer. If you want to know how a School Sports Site works you can check out our Demo Page and try one. We also don't have a confusing pricing structure. We have a single website package and you get everything with that package. If you know of a site that you believe we've missed or find a mistake in the list send an email to Derek and we will include the new site in the list or correct the mistake.
