Overall Satisfaction with LeagueApps

As an assistant wrestling coach in a youth program, we found that LeagueApps were vital to our organization. We implemented everything from our registration, payments, messaging, scheduling, reporting, and website design. We used LeagueApps to create and manage all of our wrestling camps, dual meets, Family, parent, and player data management, schedule management, and tournaments.
  • Data management.
  • Registration management.
  • Schedule management.
  • The external app integrations can be a bit buggy.
  • The Youth Sports Websites are rather bland.
  • The provided integrated payment gateway wasn't very price competitive.
  • Data management.
  • Scheduling
  • Tournament registration.
  • We have a more efficient registration.
  • We have a more efficient scheduling.
  • Our tournaments have been able to operate at reduced costs.
My favorite was Jersey Watch among all customizable automated scheduling, online registration, roster management, platforms. Jersey
Watch included: built-in registration features,
custom forms with questions and pricing that met the needs of our club. The donation feature to encouraged parents to
donate at the time of registration. We had seamless communication with parents, players, and coaches. Also, the messaging tools allowed us to send emails and texts with a few clicks from
your computer or phone with important updates like cancellations,
registration announcements, and fundraiser info. We were able to ask candidates to complete background checks directly from our
account; My second favorite was the Bench App. It was an app platform that was like the Trello of event organizing. Just the right features, with everything you'd expect, but nothing more. We found it easy and fun to use. It was a 100% free and ad-free app, but we outgrew it.

Did implementation of LeagueApps go as expected?

No

Would you buy LeagueApps again?

No

We had an absolute breeze with the dashboard, notifications, privacy protection, reporting tools, the NextUp community's professional development opportunities, and network and tournament registration. However, we were less thrilled with the integration with our existing mobile coaching and parent's apps, eCommerce platforms, scheduling platforms, and web-based tools. Also, the marketing tools felt just a little cookie-cutter and didn't fit our needs as well as some other tools we've used.
