Shelton High School (CT) - Sideline Insights
The SkyCoach Sideline Insights Series
Sideline Insights is a blog series that explores our high school football customers across the United States. In the first post of the series, we focus on Shelton High School, which has been a SkyCoach customer since 2018.
Shelton High School has been a dominant force in the Connecticut rankings for several years and has a long-standing reputation for excellence in football. The program has been the most successful team in their league since it began in 1994. Their impressive record of 217-69-1 translates to a winning percentage of .758, a remarkable achievement that speaks volumes about the quality of the team and its coaching staff. Coach Marcucio highlights the team's aspirations for the upcoming season.
“Our goal at Shelton High School is to win a State Championship.”
During a recent interview, Coach Marcucio revealed the team's reliance on our cutting-edge technology during their matches. The team uses the SkyCoach system that provides video and live reports to both players and coaches via iPads. Additionally, the team uses a TV with a connected computer, and an end zone camera system that integrates seamlessly with the SkyCoach app. According to Marcucio, the use of SkyCoach has been instrumental in facilitating regular and seamless improvements to the team's performance.
“Our staff relies on SkyCoach both during and between series to make adjustments and better communicate with each other and our players.”
The Shelton Gaels used another replay product with which they had not had a good experience. According to the Gaels coach, this system was unreliable and most of the time it did not work properly. In 2018, the program decided to change the system to SkyCoach and is consistently satisfied with the SkyCoach service.
