Cellcom launches Varsity by Cellcom app

Submitted by Cellcom

Cellcom has launched an application to track Wisconsin high school

sports’ teams. The Varsity by Cellcom app allows users to track

their favorite varsity teams and get scores, statistics, schedules,

standings, roster information and news.

“High school sports are a big part of the communities that we serve

in northeast and central Wisconsin,” said Dan Fabry, COO of Cell-

com. “This app was made for the students, coaches and fans that

live and breathe prep sports. We know our customers are dedi-

cated to their hometown teams and hopefully Varsity by Cellcom

helps them follow their favorite teams even more closely.”

High school sports that can currently be followed with the app are

baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, track, volleyball and

softball.

The Varsity by Cellcom app is available for free for Cellcom cus-

tomers from the Google Play store. Visit www.cellcom.com for addi-

tional availability.
