In August, we began rolling out some changes to both the layout and menu of the SIDEARM Admin for sites on the school platform. Here we will break down these changes and what to expect when the update hits your site. Layout The base layout of the admin area remains the same in terms of the menu being on the left and chosen sections on the right. However, the first noticeable change is the removal…
A very useful page that has existed in the SIDEARM platform for many years has recently received a much needed upgrade, providing a better user experience on both desktop and mobile. Year-by-Year results, which used to be found under the “all-time” section, displays the results for every schedule that has been entered into the SIDEARM platform for a specific sport. Broken down by season, it shows the overall record along with the conference, home, away…
We are in the process of rolling out some upgrades to how social media accounts are displayed and added for players and staff members.

The next game area is now prominently featured at the top of the right column, followed by your game leaders, team stats, related videos…
Starting off the new year with a new feature. In 2020, when college athletics took a pause, we had suggested everyone work on building out their archives on the site. We then released the opponent history pages to showcase all the schedule and results you had entered (https://bit.ly/3qjRG1D).
