The BigTeams website solution was specifically designed to be user-friendly for everyone involved! Here's how it works: The Athletic Director is issued a username and password. Each coach is also issued a username and password. BigTeams helps you find a domain name of your choice (yourschoolsports.org) and once the site design is complete, you're ready to go! Training for athletic administrators typically takes about twenty minutes and we are always here for support. There are 3 types of "users" who have different levels of access to the website control panel. Here is a breakdown of abilities, by user:
 |
Athletic Director (Superuser)
Game Cancellations: With a couple clicks of the mouse you can let the coaches, referees, other ADs, students and parents know about the day's cancellations immediately. The website is automatically updated in "real-time" to publish the cancellations where everyone can see the information quickly and easily. If you already have a sports calendar, in most cases we can integrate what you currently use with our system.
