Run a better season.

Running your club
Practical playbooks for the operations of a youth-sports club: setting up registration, building rosters, scheduling, and communicating with families.
Club money & the treasurer
How youth-sports clubs handle money: ACH vs card fees, dues and installments, refunds, per-family caps, and treasurer-friendly bookkeeping.
Team stores & uniforms
How to run a youth-sports team store, set a fair markup that funds the club, design custom uniforms, and collect sizes without ending up with dead inventory.
Safety & compliance
Plain-English guides to youth-sports safety and compliance: COPPA, SafeSport-style communication, background checks, and waivers and parental consent.
Switching platforms
How to switch youth-sports management platforms without losing a season: what to migrate, timing the move, and evaluating an all-in-one vs point tools.
SeasonStand vs the field
Honest, sourced head-to-heads against the platforms clubs use today — features, fees, and where the lines actually are.
The online registration setup checklist
A step-by-step checklist for opening youth-sports registration online — programs, pricing, forms, waivers and the dry run that saves your inbox.
How to cut registration to under two minutes
The specific form, autofill and checkout choices that decide whether a parent finishes registration on a phone or gives up — with the sibling-cart fix.
Building rosters without five spreadsheets
How to keep rosters, jersey numbers and team assignments in one place that everyone trusts — instead of a tangle of spreadsheets and group texts.
A season communication plan that won't break child-safety rules
How to communicate with players and parents across a season — announcements, reminders, schedule changes — without creating private adult-to-minor channels.
ACH vs card fees: the math for a youth-sports club
A plain-English breakdown of ACH (0.8%, cap $5) vs card (2.9% + 30¢) processing fees for youth-sports clubs — with a worked example on a $300 registration.
Per-family spending caps, explained
What a per-family spending cap is, why multi-kid families need one, and how a cap that applies across every child and program beats issuing refunds by hand.
Collecting dues with installments and autopay
How to split a youth-sports registration into installments, run ACH autopay, and handle a failed payment — without the treasurer chasing balances by hand.
Handling refunds and credits without the drama
How a youth-sports club should handle refunds and credits: a clear policy, full vs partial refunds, family credits, the treasurer role, and reversing the platform fee.
