Bulls/Sox training academy re-launches official Web site

The Chicago Bulls/White Sox Training Academy in Lisle has revamped the organization's official Webs site with more interactive content.

Training center officials say the site offers a more user-friendly and vibrant design and rich media.

With the improved functionality and ease of navigation, customers will be able to find the correct programming that fits their athlete's training needs, according to academy officials.

BullsSoxAcademy.com is expected to generate an even greater number of visits from parents and athletes looking to take their game to the next level. Features include rotating top stories with in-depth articles about the Academy, drop-down items from the main navigation page to assist user inquiries, and a monthly "register to win" online sweepstakes for various Bulls and White Sox autographed memorabilia.

"The new layout provides incredible graphics and will interact well with the viewer," said Bulls/Sox Academy Vice President of Sports, Michael Huff. "The rich media aspect of the site will bring to life how we can help each and every athlete that comes to one of our academies for training."

Other items of interest to expect at BullsSoxAcademy.com include regular blogs from key professional instructors, an extensive photo gallery and a "Coaches Corner", a library of constantly updated tips from Academy professional instructors focusing on Academy programs, skill development and mental approach to the sport.

The Bulls/Sox Training Academy opened in 2001 in Lisle and and runs extensive training programs for boys and girls from beginner to professional. There are additional satellite White Sox Academies in Glen Ellyn, LaGrange, Tinley Park and Schererville, Ind.
