BigTeams, a McLean, VA-based provider of a comprehensive website and software system for high school athletics programs, closed on a $5m Series B funding round.
The round was led by SWaN & Legend Venture Partners and Capital Sports Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate business growth in 2015.
In addition to the funding, the company purchased one of the largest high school scheduling software providers, Schedule Star, from Gannett.
