PHILADELPHIA, P.A. – Holy Family University Athletics is thrilled to announce its partnership with Spry, an athletic department management program. This partnership conveys HFU’s dedication to continuous improvement.

“With the growth of our athletic department, it was important that we looked into ways to restructure our reporting and communication,” said HFU Athletic Director Tim Hamill. “Spry was highly recommended by other institutions and we are excited about this partnership, as it will provide a more proficient experience for our student-athletes and staff.”

Spry’s product suite includes tools for paperwork, recruiting, calendars, NCAA compliance, facility management, department communication, and roster management. These comprehensive features will allow HFU to improve the efficiency of its athletics department.

 “We’re excited to announce our partnership with Holy Family University Athletics,” said Lyle Adams, CEO of Spry. “The dedication and commitment from Tim Hamill and the senior leadership team perfectly aligns with Spry’s mission. This partnership will enable all HFU coaches and administrators to increase their productivity, allowing them to work smarter, not harder.”
