Next Play is the media department for programs that never had one or need more help — schools, club teams, athletes, tournaments, and colleges. SID-level writing, game-day graphics, recruiting visibility, and monthly reporting.
Below the pros, almost nobody has an Athletic Communications department. Not schools, not club teams, not tournaments, not small colleges, not the athletes inside them. That's the whole gap — the writing, the graphics, the recruiting visibility, the scores, the brand. Next Play is that department, for every level that never had one.
The same production engine runs behind every division — SID-level writing, game-day graphics, recruiting visibility, and reporting. Only the buyer and the packaging change.

A regional media brand built and operated by Next Play — scores, recaps, rankings, and athlete features across the Midwest: Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas. Coverage is live in Kansas and expands state by state as our divisions grow. Independent of any single client.
Scores, recaps, and standout performances from across the Midwest — not one school, not one state. Kansas today, seven states as we build.
Player of the Week, statistical leaders, and long-form athlete stories that travel beyond a single community.
Advertising that reaches every market we cover — sponsorship that doesn't depend on any one client relationship.
Coverage that surfaces athletes who'd otherwise go unseen — and a direct path into an Athlete+ profile.
Schools, athletes, clubs, tournaments, colleges, and local partners all come in through different doors. These are the questions we get from all of them.
An outsourced sports media department. Everything a college athletic program gets from its communications staff — written coverage, game-day graphics, social management, recruiting visibility, branding, and reporting — delivered as a service to programs that don't have that staff. It's built and run by a former NCAA Division I Sports Information Director.
Six groups, each with their own version of the service:
No. We take the work off them. Coaches shouldn't be writing recaps at midnight and no athletic director has time to run six social accounts. You keep every approval — nothing publishes outside the workflow you set. We handle production; you keep control.
Final score graphic within 10 minutes of the final whistle. Written recap within 2 hours. Those are commitments, not goals — and they're in writing. Everything else runs on a published monthly calendar so you always know what's coming and when.
Every division is priced plainly — no tiers to decode and no quote-only pages:
Four specialized add-ons stack onto any program engagement.
Terms match how each buyer actually operates. Schools run annually because a season is the unit that matters and a sponsor commits for the year. Teams and Colleges are a three-month minimum, so a club can cover one season or a college department can bridge a vacancy without signing away a year. Athlete profiles are month to month, cancel any time. Events are priced per event — there's nothing ongoing at all.
Most programs don't pay for this out of the athletic budget. A local business becomes the Official Media Partner of your program — their name goes on the graphics, recaps, and posts we produce all season, and their sponsorship covers the cost. We build the sponsor materials and handle the ROI reporting. You get the department; they get season-long visibility.
Kansas today, with the Midwest next — Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, Iowa, and Arkansas. The work is produced remotely, so distance isn't a constraint on coverage. On-site needs like photography and event work are staffed through a local contractor network.
