Our take
Youth sports teams need successful administration and management to thrive, requiring funding and payroll management, networking and scaling, and revenue generation programs. However, such organizations are commonly associated with an absence of technology, resulting in a lack of options for software platforms that help with such administrative tasks.
LeagueApps provides a customizable youth sports management platform to provide an all-in-one solution to aid any sports team's operations and growth. The software provides automation tools for payroll and financing, marketing and growth features, communication dashboards for player and parent retention, and bottom-line tools for revenue generation.
Whilst there are already generalized organization management platforms that youth sports teams can benefit from, LeagueApps has smartly recognized the need for customizable management tools designed to help sports teams. This approach hasn't gone unnoticed by investors, with the company recently receiving substantial funding which will propel its offerings even further.
