Brandit, LLC, a leader in the development of tactical and scouting software for the global soccer industry, is a new Corporate Partner of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).
As part of a three-year agreement, Brandit will be the exclusive NFHS corporate partner for soccer, which will include coverage in the sport’s rules book, scorebook and rules PowerPoint, as well as sponsorship of the rules poster.
“We are pleased to enter this agreement with Brandit, a recognized leader in soccer-focused technology products,” said Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director. “Brandit understands the sport of soccer and the methods utilized by top practitioners to develop coaching success.

With Tactical Boards: Soccer, coaches can build, edit and share tactical information with their players, other coaches and parents. The product also provides an efficient online method to record and archive scorebook entries for match results. Tactical Boards: Soccer is available for PC, Mac or tablet and operates without the need for Internet connection. More details and online tutorials are available at www.tacticalsoccer.us.
“With almost 20,000 high school soccer coaches, we have a strong appreciation for the role and reach of the NFHS and are looking forward to our corporate partnership,” said Pedro Araujo, chief executive officer of Brandit. “With Tactical Boards: Soccer, we’ve been focused on tailoring an affordable product for U.S. high school and youth soccer that can improve a coach’s ability and effectiveness while saving valuable time. We are excited to launch our U.S.-focused product through this strategic partnership with the NFHS.”
