Ballogy Inc., the leading skills development and assessment mobile app platform for youth and amateur athletes, announced today a strategic partnership with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), the governing body for high school athletics, serving 51 member state associations across the United States. NFHS has named Ballogy its Official Athletic Skills Development and Curriculum App, endorsing Ballogy’s already accredited player development and assessment curriculum.
Ballogy’s skill development curriculum, which is also endorsed by the National High School Basketball Coaches Association (NHSBCA), gives coaches an opportunity to deliver a vetted skills program to their players year-round, all from the palm of their hand.
“Ballogy is a powerful platform that serves the changing needs of our coaches and student-athletes,” said Dr. Karissa Niehoff, CEO of the NFHS. “Through sport and skill development, we can impart transferable life skills that will prepare student-athletes for their future beyond sports. We are excited to team up, as Ballogy aligns with our mission to provide guided sport development opportunities and promote the overall health and wellness development of our adolescent population across the 19,500 high schools nationwide.”
The NFHS is the national leader and advocate for high school athletics as well as fine and performing arts programs. They promote amateur sports participation and athletics programs at the high school level and their goal is to ensure that all students have an opportunity to enjoy healthy participation, achievement, and good sportsmanship in education-based activities.
“The NFHS serves millions of young athletes and coaches,” said Todd Young, founder and CEO of Ballogy. “With this exclusive partnership, Ballogy is positioned to expand into all sanctioned NFHS sports and into the hands of every coach and player in the country.”
