Information in Their Hands: How Cedar Falls Uses the Bound Mobile App to Power Engagement
"The mobile app has been very good to us, and to our families. When something needs to get sent out, it goes directly to their phone and they get the information."
Justin Urbanek | Cedar Falls Activities Director
Total integration.
When Cedar Falls first adopted Bound, Justin Urbanek immediately saw how many processes the platform could simplify.
“[When] we came into Bound, it was like ‘Man, there’s so many different things that we can utilize and make more efficient for us’—now we’re in a spot where Bound is all we use for everything we do.” What used to be scattered across spreadsheets, Google Drive folders, and various documents is now housed in one unified system.
That central hub becomes even more powerful in the mobile app. “Bound is really the driver of how we do things around here… We now have everything in there. It makes it much easier.” Schedules, rosters, physicals, code of conduct forms, and real-time updates all live inside the same app parents, students, and coaches use every day.

For Justin, the biggest improvement has been the speed and reach of communication. Messages, updates, and reminders no longer get lost—everything goes straight to families through the mobile app they already rely on.
“When something needs to get sent out, it goes directly to their phone and they get the information. Being able to buy tickets on their phone and scan QR codes has made it so much easier for everybody, as we move to a more cashless system.”
That mobile-first experience has reshaped how Cedar Falls runs events and keeps families informed, making day-to-day operations smoother and more connected across the entire district.
