Build a Winning Sports Program on BAND
Connect everyone in your program in one place.
Trent Dilfer, former Super Bowl Champion oversees the Lipscomb Academy football program as the Head Coach with BAND. Coach Dilfer uses BAND to streamline communication & get his entire community on the same page.
"BAND keeps everyone on the same page. Everything is transparent among Coach, Player, and Parent."
When Trent took over a struggling high school football program, he adopted BAND to instill a champion's mindset in his athletes on and off the field.
BAND helps hold his team accountable and connects his entire program to strengthen their sense of community.
Parents, Athletes, & Coaches Love BAND
As soon as I see a notification, I check it. We rely on BAND for any information about the football program and you know your kid got the same message you did.
BAND takes a lot of pressure off to remember and keep track of everything. Just pull it up, and it’s all saved there.
Keeping everyone in one spot and being able to separate the program into different Bands is huge for us. It takes a lot of the headache away when you're trying to communicate with a full program.
