Bermuda lawn

Penguins
10 years ago

I have a Bermuda lawn that is worn bare in large areas mostly due to kids playing football, & rain runoff.
A few years ago I had a landscape company put down sand to encourage the Bermuda to spread and cover the bare spots. It worked a bit, but for the most part I still have large bare/thin spots, now just more sand than dirt. I've tried new seed but that hasn't made a big difference as the seed has never really germinated or filled in fully.
1) Any tips on seeding? Lay down a layer of topsoil first?
2) Can I lay new Bermuda sod over the current? Do I need to top-dress the lawn with sand or dirt before laying the sod.
We've had this lawn for about 13 years and its always been very thin and not a lush as others in the neighborhood, despite plenty of watering & fertilizing
