Our story
College programs have sports information offices. Most high school, NAIA, JUCO and club programs have a coach posting from the sideline. Next Play exists to close that gap.
- The gap
- Programs doing remarkable things with little or no media support, and athletes and communities left without a way to follow them.
- The answer
- The systems, standards and support college programs rely on, delivered as a company: coverage, a platform and a media team.
- The levels
- High school, NAIA, JUCO and club sports.

How we work
Independent coverage
Network coverage is produced independently of every commercial relationship.No sponsorship or service buys rankings, scores, editorial decisions or favorable coverage.
College standards
We hold school, team and athlete media to the standard of a college athletic department.Planned, branded, written and reviewed before it is published.
People and technology
A structured platform carries the data. People tell the stories.Scores, schedules, rosters and rankings from one source; media produced by our team.
Accuracy and privacy
We publish what is true and approved.No invented results or statistics. Student information is handled with the required authorization.
