Bethel Athletics Announces Move to SIDEARM Sports Platform

MCKENZIE, Tenn. (September 2026) – Bethel University Athletics announces that its official athletics website, BethelAthletics.com, will transition from the PrestoSports platform to SIDEARM Sports.

The move will provide Wildcat fans with an enhanced digital experience featuring a modern design, improved mobile accessibility and easier navigation. Visitors will continue to find the latest Bethel Athletics news, schedules, rosters, results, statistics, live coverage links, and other department information at the same familiar address.

“We are excited about this next step for Bethel Athletics,” said Bethel Vice President of Athletics Derek Horne. “Our website is often the first place our fans, student-athletes, families, alumni, and prospective students go for information about our programs. This move will allow us to better showcase the accomplishments of our teams and student-athletes while providing our visitors with an improved online experience.”

SIDEARM Sports serves colleges and universities throughout North America and provides digital platforms designed specifically for athletic departments. Its technology will give Bethel additional opportunities to expand its coverage, strengthen its brand, and connect with Wildcat fans across multiple devices.

“We appreciate the service PrestoSports has provided Bethel Athletics through the years,” said Bethel Sports Information Director Dave McCulley. “As our department continues to grow, the move to SIDEARM will give us new tools and greater flexibility in telling the stories of our student-athletes, coaches, and teams. We look forward to providing Wildcat fans with a fresh, engaging, and user-friendly website.”

The transition is scheduled to be completed September 3. During the conversion process, fans may notice temporary changes as information is transferred to the new platform.

The website address will remain BethelAthletics.com, and no action will be required by visitors.

Additional information regarding the official launch of the redesigned website will be announced as it becomes available.
