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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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 BS Bill S. League Coordinator Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sports management all in one place" February 19, 2024 5.0 Sport Connect has helped us spend less time managing our program so that we can devote more time to providing sports opportunities to the youth in our area. Pros The ability to easily build teams and assign coaches to those teams. The ability to export information to Excel to ease budget preparation. Cons Building new custom reports has become slightly more difficult with recent changes to the software Reason for choosing Sports Connect Ease of use and abundance of features that our program needed Switched from [SportsPilot](https://www.capterra.com/p/231159/SportsPilot/) Sports Connect (then Blue Sombrero) was a better value and easier to use. Review Source Response from Stack Sports February 21, 2024 Hi Bill, Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so thankful for you and our partnership with your organization. It is our mission here at Stack Sports to increase participation and transform the sports experience, so we're so thankful to hear that we have been a small part of your organization's success in doing just that! -Your Sports Connect 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 MW Michael W. Vice President, Kings United FC Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All inclusive Sports Management System" March 6, 2024 5.0 From setup, to development, and deployment all processes were easy and straightforward. At times, when shriner support was needed the call/emails were answered in a timely manner and the resources provided answered the questions the first time. Pros Sports connect ease of use from building program website to team management, payments, and registration are very user friendly and give the end user an engaging but simple process. Cons I would like to see development of adding the ability to assign the same registrant to multiple teams in a division. This has been the only pain point within the application. Alternatives considered [OTTO SPORT AI](https://www.capterra.com/p/118871/WebWriter/) Reason for choosing Sports Connect User interface and setup ease where the main points. Review Source Response from Stack Sports March 8, 2024 Hi Michael, Thank you so much for taking the time to review Sports Connect. We are so thankful for your partnership. Thank you also for the enhancement idea. -Your Sports Connect Team JJ Jas J. President of ACE Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best site to use for sports!" May 10, 2025 4.0 It's wonderful, thank you so much! Before, we were trying to do everything on our own, but with Sports Connect, it makes life so much easier! Pros I love how easy is to keep track of all the important things - registration, uniforms, payments, discounts, etc. Great to have everything all in one! Even have a merchant store! That's amazing! Cons I don't like how you can't make the registration page or other pages cute. It's just very basic. It still does the job though. I basically design things, take a screen shot, and then upload the cuter versions unto the site to make it cute :) Review Source Response from Stack Sports May 12, 2025 Hi Jas, Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Sports Connect is helping streamline everything from registration to payments. Thanks again for being part of the Sports Connect community—we're so glad to be making your life a little easier! -Your Stack Sports Team JC JP C. Webmaster Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Succeeds On The Basics But Leaves Me Wanting More" September 18, 2024 4.0 Overall Sports Connect gets the job done. It feels like I'm using a dated platform that gets small, infrequent updates, but it does a good job with its core competencies. Pros Registration is probably the strongest aspect of this platform. Setting up new seasons and managing registrations as they come in works very well. There are some opportunities for improvement, but there are not any 'soft lock' glitches that cannot be worked around. Cons I have shared a lot of feedback with the team. Wait list activations cause a problem since they allow a child to be placed on a team without payment, which is different than the typical registration process and results in missed payments (or increased collections efforts at best). Sharing reports works, but you cannot share by security role, and the users don't have a way to access their shared reports unless they save the link. The front end is VERY dated and has a way of sanitizing the HTML that results in very weird results, sometimes that seem impossible to work around. Uploading pictures has a different size limit for each upload input box, and I constantly have to use 3rd party software to compress images just to get them to go onto the site. That's just to name a few. Review Source Response from Stack Sports September 30, 2024 JP, Thank you so much for taking the time to review Sports Connect; and thank your for sharing your feedback with our team and providing us areas for improvement.

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.

League Administrator Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product for recreational league" May 29, 2023 5.0 Once we were able to get our system up and going it has been great. We use Sports Connect for 3 different sports organizations and the parents are becoming very familiar with how the system works. Pros Sports Connect has been a huge asset to our league. Making the roles of league administrator, coaches and parents much easier. Has so many great features. Cons At times, we have found it hard to correct mistakes. Would like to see where a visiting team could enter a score and not have just the home team. Review Source Response from Stack Sports June 23, 2023 Hi Peggi, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of Sports Connect. We appreciate the opportunity partner with your organizations. Thank you for sharing about how easy it was for you to get started on a new website with us. - Your Sports Connect Team RB Rocky B. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A lot of potential, but sometimes quirky" August 10, 2023 4.0 An improvement from what we had. However, I (we) had to spend a lot of time answering questions for the parents and making sure they registered properly. In many cases we had to walk them through the registration process. Pros Having knowledgeable people to help navigate the software and explain what needs to be done. We had one person.with Sports Connect who was quite helpful. She answered emails in a straightforward and timely fashion. Cons Did not like the docket or ticket procedure for solving problems or answering questions. I did Like having ONe or Two people who are familiar with us - a LL Challenger BB program. The boundaries set up for Tri- County Challenger LL were not correct. When parents registered their child they oftentimes received message telling them they were outside of the boundaries when, in fact, they were inside the boundaries. Our boundaries include all of Lee, all of Hendry, and a portion of Collier County . While I understand the need for specific boundaries for regular LL, it should not be an issue for Challenger Baseball athletes.
