Athletics Webstite Gets a New Look

Standard

The Genesee Community College Athletics Department has teamed up with PrestoSports and will launch its new website – www.geneseeathletics.com – on Tuesday, April 1, 2014, revealing its new online home for all 11 National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) programs.

 The facelift features a new, modern design and a user-friendly interface that allows users to browse all facets of the Genesee Athletics Department.

 “The new website is a positive step forward for Genesee Athletics,” said GCC Athletics Director Kristen Schuth. “Not only will it keep our current athletes up to date, it will also be used as a community involvement and recruitment tool.”

 The new site has been designed to integrate social media, incorporate photo and video content and include easy-access statistics to enhance the experience for site visitors.

 “It’s a much needed updated look,” Schuth said. “It is just one more positive step for Genesee Athletics.”

 Started in 2003, PrestoSports helps sports teams communicate online with their fans, opponents and media outlets. The company develops technologies that facilitate the sharing of information on top of the PrestoSports Network, the digital mapping of teams’ real-world connections. Millions of fans follow their favorite teams on sites powered by PrestoSports.

Genesee Community College athletics program endeavors to provide a quality and competitive intercollegiate athletics program consistent with the National Junior Collegiate Athletics Association (NJCAA) philosophy and the overall educational mission of Genesee Community College. Participation in collegiate athletics should be an extension of the total educational experience for the student athlete. The inherent philosophy emphasizes the athletic setting as a classroom used to teach character, commitment, work ethic, respect for differences, and the importance of sacrifice, teamwork, and cooperation.
