BigTeams develops athletic websites for high schools in both the United States and Canada. These websites allow coaches and athletic directors to update sports related information for the public such as rosters, news, photos, and schedules. Each BigTeams website is branded for the particular school including their color schemes and mascots. These websites also allow the schools to generate income through advertising sales.[1] BigTeams has developed these websites for some of the nations most well known high schools including T. C. Williams High School and Columbine High School. Since its inception most of BigTeams competitors have gone out of business including LeagueMinder while those remaining have been purchased by larger corporations such as the ScheduleStar sale to Gannett Company.[2]. BigTeams on the other hand remains privately held and has reduced its pricing to $50 per month.[3]
Early in its development BigTeams received an endorsement from former West Virginia University head football coach Don Nehlen saying, "I wish I had had one of these back when I was coaching high school football." [4]
