Overview
Global Reach Sports empowers National Governing Bodies with technology to reach, aggregate, engage
and grow their grassroots sports communities. The tool developed to accomplish this is
SportsPower.
SportsPower is an Internet-based array of tools that are designed to assist an NGB by increasing
member, coach, club and event organizer loyalty and affinity, increasing staff efficiency and
increasing the NGB’s assets for corporate sponsorship.
The SportsPower platform provides the foundation for a digital marketing strategy focused around each
individual member’s or team’s performance statistics and standings. The end result is a system that
empowers the NGB’s community to generate performance content that is of primary interest to members,
coaches and families. People like to view content about themselves, their friends, their competitors
and their heroes.
Fueled by the Human Ego, SportsPower provides the engine to grow and enhance an sport organization’s existing online
community by increasing benefits to members, sponsors, coaches, clubs and event organizers.
SportsPower is the technology that drives this digital marketing strategy.
