What We Do
SIDEARM Sports is the perfect blend of sports junkies and technology geeks.
Most offices are filled with employees that excitedly talk about the big play in the game from the night before, and ours is no different. While we discuss the game, however, we also write the software that distributes that same news across the internet, calculates the statistics for the game, and archives the video clips so that fans that missed it can watch it later. SIDEARM Sports is the company that makes it possible for collegiate sports fans to follow their favorite teams no matter if they are across town, across the country, or across the world. If you ask us, we have the best job in the world!
Athletic Communications has two distinct pieces: distribution and consumption. Since its inception in 1996, SIDEARM Sports has focused its efforts on both sides of the equation. Our goal is to help the athletic communications professional get their job done quicker and more efficiently, while also ensuring that fans will be able to watch their favorite team score a winning goal from halfway across the country. We strive daily to ensure that each of these processes is the best they can be for all those involved.
The SIDEARM Staff is comprised of nearly eighty designers, developers, project managers, and customer support members, many of whom worked in college athletics before coming to SIDEARM. Our collective experience working with athletics is what drives us to innovate and improve the processes that currently exist, by using the latest advancements in web-based technology.
