December 15, 2024 5.0 Great experience, being a new Director to the league is has helped me be as efficient as I can be. Pros The ease of being able to get a league up in running. Cons Some of the filters on the reports do not fit my needs Review Source Response from Stack Sports December 16, 2024 Dan, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for Sports Connect.

Registrar Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "3 Youth Sport Registrar using 4 registration platforms- this one is by far the BEST!" July 9, 2025 5.0 This was our first year using this platform and I had to essentially learn as I went. The platform is strait forward and intuitive. I have been incredibly surprised at the ease of use during our first season. Pros The customer service is top-notch. The chat is concise and personal and answers my question in detail, saving me a ton of time. Cons PDF Uploads come in blacked out, which is frustrating for our users. If they had the ability to edit a PDF document (Little League Medical Release form) and upload without having to print/scan or take a picture, that would be ideal. Switched from [ActiveCollab](https://www.capterra.com/p/114491/Active-Collab/) Little League required all leagues to make the switch, starting in Fall 2024. Review Source Response from Stack Sports July 14, 2025 Hi Stephanie, Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad to hear our customer service and platform usability helped make your first season smoother. I will flag your PDF upload concern with our product team. -Your Stack Sports Team JR John R. commissioner Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AYSO region 8C205" January 13, 2023 3.0 It is ok. Better than blue sombrero Pros Works well for basic stuff. Allows me to use Excel for most of my documents Cons the advanced features are difficult to manage. The volunteer info is not up to date. Board members cannot access the information they need Reason for choosing Sports Connect Only National AYSO knows that Switched from [Google Docs](https://www.capterra.com/p/160756/Google-Docs/) National AYSO did that Review Source BY Blaine Y. Secretary Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Running 5 unique SportsConnect sites and very happy!" January 20, 2026 5.0 Wonderful! Initial setup and continuing support is helpful but support content is super educational. Pros I like the simplicity of using templated websites as a launching point to presenting youth sports web pages. Cons Small dislike for inability to edit many elements of the home pages for sites. Wish I could use some code in a content block on the home page. Switched from [iPages](https://www.capterra.com/p/174667/iPages/) Availability and functionality of product via Little League. Review Source Response from Stack Sports January 22, 2026 Thank you Blaine for your kind words! PW Patrick W. Treasurer Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Great League Tool" May 24, 2025 5.0 I have been using for years and am satisfied. I have been asked multiple times to switch , but it does the job for me. Pros It gives you everything you need to run a league. Communications, registration and scheduling are all included. Cons The scheduler could be more robust. It could be updated to be more flexible. It also needs a way to live draft teams. Switched from [BusyPaws](https://www.capterra.com/p/231681/BusyPaws/) Toolbox went out of business or was bought up. Review Source Response from Stack Sports May 27, 2025 Hi Patrick, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for being a long-time user of Sports Connect. We truly appreciate your loyalty!

It’s great to hear that despite offers to switch, the platform continues to deliver for you. Thanks again for your continued support! —The Stack Sports Team BP Blake P. IT director and Registrar Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome product for all sports organizations " March 2, 2025 5.0 Pros I have helped 3 different leagues (soccer, baseball, and m basketball) migrate to stacked sports. Prior the leagues either were paper registrations, or were other competitors. Stacked sports makes it easy to have consistent ways to communicate with parents, you don’t have to worry about data entry or reading people’s hand writing. It allows for verification of players DOB as well as coach background check approvals )or denials). Makes it super simple to do reports on players and teams as well as communicate to league. Cons Sometimes when using IOS safari browser parents have a difficult time seeing what they are missing to complete the registration. Alternatives considered [SportsEngine](https://www.capterra.com/p/134125/SportsEngine/) Reason for choosing Sports Connect Familiarity and ease of use with sports connected Switched from [SportsEngine](https://www.capterra.com/p/134125/SportsEngine/) Ease of use with stacked sports is why we switched. Review Source Response from Stack Sports March 3, 2025 Hi Blake, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that Stack Sports has made such a positive impact on your leagues, streamlining registration, communication, and compliance processes. It's great to know that our platforms have helped simplify data entry and improve overall efficiency for your teams. We appreciate your feedback regarding the iOS Safari browser experience.

Secretary and Player Agent Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Efficiency Is The Name of the Game" February 21, 2025 5.0 Positive. The season has not begun yet but as of now, everything has been working smoothly and Sports Connect is certainly one of the contributing factors. Pros The best part about Sports Connect is that it's fully integrated. From payment processing to team management, to scheduling and website management - everything works together all in one place. It doesn't get easier! Even GameChanger is integrated!! That is a huge bonus!!! Cons I would say, as a brand new user, I wouldn't mind a direct line to talk to someone or live chat with someone when troubleshooting an issue. I'd like to be able to walk it through with an expert because some of what I am trying to do seems very specific to our league and may be unique. Is it even possible? Hard to know unless we can hash it out one-to-one. Switched from [SportsEngine](https://www.capterra.com/p/134125/SportsEngine/) We are affiliated with Little League International which required us to switch. Review Source Response from Stack Sports February 25, 2025 Alonso, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the fully integrated experience with Sports Connect and that features like GameChanger integration are adding value to your league management. We understand how important it is to have direct support, especially when navigating unique league needs. We do offer phone support, and I sent you that phone number! We're excited for your upcoming season and are here to help if you need anything along the way. Thanks again for choosing Sports Connect—we’re honored to be a part of your league’s journey! -Your Sports Connect Team RG Robin G. President, HB Rebels Pop Warner Cheer Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Updates make association breeze through registrations" March 8, 2025 5.0 This will be our third year using sports connect and it is getting easier to use Pros The ability to make it a one stop shop for all the info for our teams. The ability to submit help tickets and the classes or topics are easy to read and guide you through the processes. Cons All the items I had issues with are now easy to use. Reason for choosing Sports Connect Nationals - Pop warner using and systems work together Review Source Response from Stack Sports March 10, 2025 Hi Robin, Thank you for your thoughtful review!

The process was easy and painless. We worked with \[sensitive content hidden\] who was extremely professional and helpful. Pros We love the fact that Sports Connect allows us to offer payment plans and does all of the work for tracking payments. Cons So far, we haven’t found anything that we do not like. How many sponsors, social media platforms, and news entries on the website. Alternatives considered [TeamSnap](https://www.capterra.com/p/123208/TeamSnap/) Reason for choosing Sports Connect Pricing and functionality ultimately decided for us. Review Source Response from Stack Sports May 13, 2025 Hi Chelley, Thank you so much for the kind words and for choosing Sports Connect!

President Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "From FCO Thumbs Up" December 3, 2024 4.0 I like Sports Connect a lot. Works well for our club. Pros Ease of use when setting up different functions. Cons Difficulty in getting tech support on the phone c Alternatives considered [LeagueApps](https://www.capterra.com/p/127065/LeagueApps/) Reason for choosing Sports Connect Once Sports Connect made the change back to the BS platform most everything has been very food for our club. Switched from [GoDaddy Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/182500/GoDaddy-Website-Builder/) Changed to Blue Sombrero after learning about their sites. Stayed with Sports Connect after the change over. Review Source Response from Stack Sports December 9, 2024 George, Thank you for the kind words. We are thankful for your partnership. -your Stack Sports team RB Renzo B. Technical Director Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sports Connect - Best Customer Service!!" September 3, 2024 5.0 Very satisfied. It beats every other software out there in functionality. They all have their challenges. Pros Their customer service is second to none. I work with many software companies and used to work for one. SC does a terrific job at providing timely support to their customers. At least that has been my experience in the last 5 years I have used them. Cons I dislike their newest update which causes the system to kick you out every so often even if you are in the middle of your work. It is frustrating when doing accounting because you are deep in transactions and the system kicks you out...even when you are actively working. It is possible another window may be open, but we use multiple windows. it should acknowledge we are currently working in the system in any window. Alternatives considered [TeamSnap](https://www.capterra.com/p/123208/TeamSnap/)[LeagueApps](https://www.capterra.com/p/127065/LeagueApps/) Reason for choosing Sports Connect I chose Sports Connect due to functionality and price. Review Source Response from Stack Sports September 10, 2024 Renzo, Thank you so much for leaving a review of Sports Connect. We are so thankful for your partnership and for your feedback. We want to look into the update you are referencing and your account manager will be reaching out! -Your Stack Sports team MP Mandy P. Assistant Director Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Superior Service in Product and Customer Service" March 7, 2024 5.0 Overall, this has been the BEST decision my league has made with regard to sports software management. I have shared our experience with other leagues in my network and encouraged them to sign up with Sports Connect as well! I'd do it again and again! Pros Customer service is an actual person who answers the phone after the prompt and assists you fully until your issue or concern is satisfied and a solution is found. You are not limited to a time frame like other sports management services we used in the past. The website is user friendly to set up, manage and browse. Registration has so many options for several different situations. Sports Connect is integrated with GameChanger too! Cons I have two separate organizations that I need to interact with on a daily basis and the system allows me to log in to only one platform at a time. I wish I could simply toggle between the two without being kicked out of one when I log in to the other. Alternatives considered [TeamSnap](https://www.capterra.com/p/123208/TeamSnap/) Reason for choosing Sports Connect Cost, efficiency and incomparable level of customer service. Switched from [SportsEngine](https://www.capterra.com/p/134125/SportsEngine/) Their costs were significantly higher and their lack of customer service was incredibly difficult to work with. Review Source Response from Stack Sports March 11, 2024 Hi Mandy, Your review of Sports Connect made us smile so big. Thank you for being a valued partner. -Your Sports Connect Team JD John D. Commissioner Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good site for Youth Leagues" March 11, 2024 4.0 Overall we are pleased with Sports Connect. I can get information posted and share information as needed. Pros It allows us a website location to post all information pertaining to our program and is easily accessible. Cons The site is very cumbersome to a novice user. More freeform templates would help improve the ability to create space to post our sponsors and pictures from the season. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) We switched when Dick's Sporting Goods was offering the website. Since then it has changed hands from Blue Sombrero and others to Sports Connect. Review Source Response from Stack Sports March 12, 2024 Hi John, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of Sports Connect and for the valuable feedback you shared around ways to improve the product. Partner Feedback plays a large roll in the development of our tools. -Your Sports Connect Team RD Ryan D. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy and efficient" February 6, 2025 5.0 Very good. It’s efficient and easy to use. Built in Reports are useful. Pros Ease of website maintenance. The program design structure is simple too. Cons There could be more freedom with designing color templates. Review Source Response from Stack Sports February 7, 2025 Hi Ryan, Thank you for sharing your experience with Sports Connect! We're thrilled to hear that you find the platform efficient and easy to use, especially for website maintenance and reporting. We appreciate your feedback on design flexibility with color templates. Our team is always looking for ways to enhance customization options, and your input is valuable as we continue improving the platform. We have added a color picker to our websites. Some themes now offer the ability to change the theme color to your organization's exact colors. Once you have selected the theme, on the very right hand side of the home page toolbar you will see Theme Color option. From here you can adjust the theme color and text color using the RGB color code. -Your Sports Connect Team NV Nate V. Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perseverance" September 14, 2024 5.0 It has been great. Every time I need something solved the team is there to help. Pros East to use and great customer service. I am able to have multiple programs and be able to create a custom website with my branding. Cons I wish they would have some membership models and be able to use multiple locations under one username. Review Source Response from Stack Sports September 24, 2024 Nate, Thank you so much for your review.

User friendly for sure: any issues I had I was Easley able to find the answer. Cons Some of the tutoruals.

Board President Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love Sports Connect" July 2, 2024 4.0 Been using since way back in 2015 when it was still Blue Sombrero. Really love the software and the ease of taking registration fees and even donations. Ability to use text and email have been good additions. The actual Teams pages can take time but we just do not do that. Pros Relatively easy to use for the parent to register their players and the continuity from year to year is good. Really like the ability to update/copy divisions from year to year with auto date change. Also like the ability to schedule league games automatically. Cons more difficult to setup beginning of year Divisions. Really disappointed in the tryouts option. Would be nice to have way players listed on tryouts list and not have to be registered and then go back and reallocate to a team and possible ask for more registration fee. Review Source Response from Stack Sports July 9, 2024 John, Thank you so much for taking the time to review Sports Connect. If you have additional feedback on how to improve tryout registration, please email partnerexperience@stacksports.com. Thank you for your almost 10 years of partnership! -Your Sports Connect Team JS Jesse S.

Anything that makes us more effective and efficient is welcome. Pros I like the fact that i can set up my registrations, and just let them work for me. No more in person signup debacles or bounced checks. So much easier Cons They do not reset the amount of fees collected after we end our season, nor can we split monies coming in from different sports. Review Source Response from Stack Sports June 20, 2024 Hi Glen, Thank you for taking the time to share about your experience with Sports Connect. We enjoy hearing from you. -Your Sports Connect team KG Ken G.

Registrar Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to Use" May 7, 2024 5.0 Great program. I need to learn more about how to use it. Need to find an overall video that walks you through all aspects of Sports Connect. Pros Creating Teams. Player Ratings. Registration is easy to open/close. Finding families/users is easy to do. Cons Lots of features that need instruction on how to do them. Need easier access to “how to” section. Review Source DT Dwaine T. CEO Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "What a great product" May 13, 2024 5.0 Great product that has made communication easier. Pros Easy to set up and operate. Adding other admins and team communication has improved. Cons Ads no one can show me how to to shut them off for the entire organization Alternatives considered [SportsEngine](https://www.capterra.com/p/134125/SportsEngine/) Switched from [SportsEngine](https://www.capterra.com/p/134125/SportsEngine/) Like the product better than the others Review Source Response from Stack Sports May 17, 2024 Dwaine, Thank you so much for your review of Sports Connect.

President Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product that just keeps getting better year-over-year" February 3, 2023 5.0 Sports Connect is fantastic, making managing our League funds, registrations and communication a breeze. Pros The ability to create teams and schedules that populate automagically in GameChanger is a game changer, but that's not all. Sports Connect is a proper CRM made easy. Cons Payment processing could use a revamp, removing check options for parents and separating out sponsor payments (so they don't get saddled with a max family cap), and adding venmo or paypal would be perfect. Review Source RH Robert H. President Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sports Connect gives GREAT SERVICE. GREAT company to deal with" June 5, 2023 5.0 FABULOUS company to deal with, and I am a very demanding customer in all things!

Little league president Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Big fan of sports connect" June 1, 2023 5.0 Pros Sports connect is great to have for any sports league. It has so many functions and features that help make administrators jobs easier. Cons Sports connect is a little hard to figure out how to use. It is t very self explanatory. But customer service is always great. They walked me through so many features and helped me figure out how to use all of the features. Review Source Response from Stack Sports June 23, 2023 Hi Jasmine, We're a big fan of YOU! Thank you so much for taking the time to share feedback. Hearing from our partners is so important to us.
