After each game, the coach or team manager uses a password-protected template to record individual and team results. Each participating school creates a page on the InstaSports web site, which can be linked to the school's own web site. A school's InstaSports page contains links to individual team pages, which in turn can be linked to pages containing individual players' statistics. Badger High School used the service to record the results of every varsity sport it offered this spring, Henning said. The school's home page contains a link to its InstaSports site.
Kids can go online and see the scores that night.
We're not a big enough community to have a local TV station covering the games, and our newspaper is a weekly. This gives us a way to communicate better with the community. It also saves Henning and his coaches valuable time. The school's coaches used to spend a great deal of time figuring out their players' batting averages, free throw percentages, and other statistics, Henning said. The coaches would post this information in the locker room for their players.
