BAND Partners With KickMetrics, Player Evaluation and Analysis Tool for Coaches and Teams
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- There has been little progress in ways for coaches to evaluate and provide actionable feedback to individual athletes and their parents. Solving the problem of lack of meaningful communication between coaches, athletes and parents, BAND, the group communication app serving over 50,000+ sports teams, has joined forces with KickMetrics, the leading player evaluation and analysis tool for coaches. Through this strategic partnership kicking-off today, BAND will help facilitate timely and meaningful communication among coaches, athletes and parents, including custom player evaluations. Coaches can build a stronger team by improving morale and performance of players through individualized and timely evaluations on KickMetrics that are then easily accessible to parents and athletes on BAND.
KickMetrics is the first BAND API Program partner to date. Through the API integration, coaches can easily share player evaluations with the athletes and their parents on the BAND app with one click of a button. Beginning with KickMetrics, BAND will continue to seek API partners who will benefit from the ever-expanding BAND community.
Every team who signs up on BAND and logs into KickMetrics using their BAND account will be able to use the $14.99/month Pro Team Plan for free through March 15, 2018 ($60 value). The Pro Team Plan allows coaches to use KickMetrics' evaluation template to create individualized player evaluations for their teams and gain insights through detailed graphs and charts. After creating evaluations, coaches can publish a URL to their KickMetrics evaluations onto their BAND groups to notify the parents and athletes when evaluations become available and to have further discussions.
