Having trouble coming up with things to post to your athletic site now that school is out? Here are some ideas we recommend to get people to your site and stay awhile.
-Create a Hall of Fame.
Northmont High School decided it was time for their alumni to keep their recognition by creating a Hall of Fame. They created a tab that directs users to any year, where they can browse those who were inducted. This is a great way to add a sentimental piece to your site where alumni can go and look back at their feats. Check it out here.
-Upload photo albums regularly with clear pictures.
Photos are everything. Assigning someone to regularly attend games and take photos will be a huge benefit to your website. You can upload these photos to individual photo galleries on your athletic site. Parents, fans, and athletes love to look through and see their team in action. It gives them the opportunity to re-live those great moments.
-Post updates on new facilities or equipment.
Students are always excited when a new gym, turf, uniforms, or weights are on their way. Keep your community in the loop by posting regular photos of the upgrades being worked on and completed to pump up students for the upcoming season.
-Bios of new coaches or ADs.
Have a coach or athletic director tapping out this
year? Welcome the incoming one with an article including pictures and a short bio. This will give insight to athletes and parents as to whom they will be working with, and create a connection between an athlete and their new coach.
There is always a student or coach to be honored, event to document, or photo opportunities through clubs and camps. Keep cranking out that content this summer!
