The beginning of the school year is a great time to set the tone for a successful season. It’s essential to engage your parents, athletes, students, and community in early-season activities and ensure everyone knows where to find important information about schedules, updates, venue information, fundraising, and more. For athletic directors, this involves fielding numerous emails, phone calls, and texts, which can be time-consuming and overwhelming. But there’s a solution that can save you time and streamline communication: centralizing information using a dedicated app for your school.
The power of centralizing information
Imagine having a single source of truth for all your athletic program’s information—a place where parents, students, athletes, and community members can easily access everything they need right from their phones. This is where the FanX app comes in. From news and schedules to venue maps and sponsorship info, FanX consolidates it all. Plus, you can quickly update users with push notifications for reminders, weather updates, and schedule changes. For more info, check out our blog post Positioning Your FanX App as the Source of Truth.
Here’s what one AD had to say about his experience with the FanX app:
“There’s always people when you’re hosting events and games and matches [who say] where can I find this information? Where can I find the roster? Where can I find the schedule? …now it’s…why don’t you search Plano Reapers and download the app.
– Steve Lucas, Athletic Director at Plano High School, IL
Supercharge your productivity with integrations
The FanX app doesn’t just centralize information. It also integrates seamlessly with other tools you already use. FanX has partnered with industry leaders such as Arbiter to offer a suite of tools from other vendors that cater to additional aspects of the fan experience. From ticketing and audio-visual experiences to schedules, stats, and scores, these integrations make your FanX app personal for your school, provide efficiencies for your department, and make it more attractive for your community and students to engage with.

Note: Don’t forget to promote the app during back-to-school events, in newsletters, and on social media. Encourage parents, students, and community members to download the app and familiarize themselves with its features.
App features that go above and beyond
Beyond creating efficiencies for your department, FanX also has over 20 sponsorship placements in the app that can generate revenue for your programs and engage businesses in your community. To increase student and community engagement even further, FanX offers rewards and trivia that get everyone excited to visit your app again and again.
Conclusion
Back-to-school time is the perfect opportunity to set the tone for a successful athletic season. By centralizing information and leveraging the power of the FanX app, you can engage your community, streamline communication, and enhance the overall fan experience. Make this season your best yet by embracing the efficiency and convenience that the FanX app provides.
