You set the go-live date, and we pace everything around it. Most schools sign during the school year and use the spring to learn the software and build out their fall schedules — going fully live by July or August. Some move faster depending on how many tools they're adopting. Your onboarding lead uses your target date to map out training so nothing feels rushed and you're confident by the time you switch over.

It's a partnership. You fill out a few simple spreadsheets — your programs, venues, co-ops, and opponents — and our team enters everything into the system for you. We also check your opponent list against our database and create any missing schools in advance. Your first season of events can be imported too, or you can enter them yourself if you'd rather learn by doing. You handle the info, we handle the setup.

Your onboarding plan includes coach-specific videos and walkthroughs that you can share with your staff — either the full set or individual resources based on what each coach needs. Your onboarding lead trains you directly, and as your coaches start using the platform, they've got the same help docs and in-app support your whole school has access to. Support doesn't stop at go-live either — it carries over once people are using it day to day.

Absolutely. Most schools sign during the school year and learn Bound in the background while still running their current system. You can practice building schedules and entering events without anything going public — no one sees it until you're ready. When your go-live date hits, you've already been working in the platform for months, so the switch feels like flipping a light on, not starting over.
