Your varsity football team isn't the only program that deserves data-driven coaching — and with MaxPreps Advantage, it doesn't have to be the only one that gets it. Rising costs and shrinking budgets are forcing programs to cut costs at the JV and freshman level. MaxPreps Advantage is built to elevate an entire athletic program from the Athletic Director to the varsity coaches to the JV and freshmen levels. When schools are evaluating a coaching tool, it’s understandable why many only have room to think about select varsity programs.
With the realities high school programs face, we’ve put together five ways that MaxPreps Advantage is a program-wide solution for schools rather than just a varsity football solution.
MaxPreps Advantage offers a wide array of solutions for coaches. When a game is over, coaches don’t have to spend hours going through the raw game film and manually chart certain moments within a game.
MaxPreps Advantage logs every stat that was compiled during a game, organizes the film into a searchable format, and allows coaches to jump to key moments with clickable box scores. If a basketball coach got out-rebounded by a large margin, they can click on the rebound link, and every rebound is there to see what went wrong. This all happens within 12 hours, so the film will be ready by the time a coach wakes up the next day.
Coaches still have the power to make the strategic inferences based on the film, but MaxPreps Advantage gets them closer to making those key decisions that shape a team. MaxPreps Advantage offers unlimited storage, so there’s no need to delete old footage or purchase extra storage.
The stats that are recorded in a team’s MaxPreps Advantage account are automatically sent to their public MaxPreps page. There’s no need for a coach or volunteer to log in and manually type in stats from an Excel sheet.
With the millions of monthly visits on MaxPreps, that audience now has access to the sophomore running back who is becoming a rising star or the senior point guard who has gone under the radar in recruiting. Coaches have data to power their decisions, an athletic director can promote their athletes without manual work, and the student-athletes get the recognition they deserve.

When evaluating a coach film tool, the main dealbreaker for doing more is typically the price. Other options cost thousands, and schools don’t have the budget to give multiple teams access to analytics. Price shouldn’t hinder programs from reaching their full potential.
The MaxPreps Advantage All-Access tier is free for NFHS Network schools. The Advanced Breakdown package is $600 per team per season. This price point allows schools to give multiple teams and levels benefits that varsity teams have only gotten in the past. This scalability can make a program more cohesive from the top down and make player development more detailed.
An athletic director and coach being on the same page is crucial for a program’s success. A constant battle between who owns team promotion, what tools will be available, and other hurdles are just a few of the issues ADs deal with throughout a given year. Program visibility is taken up a notch with MaxPreps. Stats and highlights populate automatically as soon as a game ends, so a program's reach doesn't depend on whether someone remembered to update a spreadsheet or post a recap.
The same is true on the coaching side. There's no manual stat entry, no separate software to learn, and no extra hours after every game spent organizing footage. Coaches get the breakdown they need without adding a task to their plate, and ADs get program visibility without adding a line item or needing to hire another employee.
See how much time MaxPreps Advantage saves an athletic director.
Every stat in MaxPreps Advantage is clickable. That screamer a soccer player buried in the top corner to win the game, the kill a volleyball player put away to seal the match. Those moments aren't buried somewhere in an hour of raw footage waiting to be found. They're attached directly to the stat that created them, so an athlete can click the line that says "goal" or "kill" and pull up that exact clip in seconds.
Athletes have the power to curate their highlights with a platform that makes it easy find those moments. Highlights can be published to the player’s MaxPreps page and give them even more visibility to millions of visitors and college coaches.
The All-Access tier is free for NFHS Network schools. The Advanced Breakdown package is $600 per team per season — priced so multiple teams and levels can be covered, not just varsity.
Yes. It's built to scale across an entire program, so JV and freshman teams get the same automated stat tracking and film organization varsity teams do.
None of these five reasons work in isolation; they all work together to make a program more cohesive. When film is broken down for coaches, promotion is automated for Athletic Directors, and visibility is boosted for athletes all by the same tool for an affordable price, that’s when a school can reach it's full potential.
