TeamSnap Commits $1 Million to Improve Access to Sport for Underserved Youth

BOULDER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- Today at The Aspen Institute Project Play Summit 2020, TeamSnap CEO and Founder Dave DuPont announced that TeamSnap will commit $1 million over the next three years to improve access to sport for underserved youth athletes.

As part of the commitment, TeamSnap will be supporting a series of new programs to drive access to sport. This includes being a partner on The Aspen Institute's Project Play 2024 initiative which mobilizes industry leaders to take actions around making sports accessible to all children, regardless of race, gender, zip code or ability. As well as a long-standing partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance, an organization that recently announced their Million Coaches Challenge, a commitment to train over 400,000 coaches, with a focus on underserved communities.

"Access to quality sports is a very personal initiative for me. Playing team sports had an incredibly positive impact on all aspects of my life; they taught me key life skills and laid the foundation for a healthy lifestyle," said DuPont. "I believe all children should have the same access to sport that I had growing up. I am immensely proud that TeamSnap is doing everything it can to support access to sport and our $1 Million commitment will go a long way towards helping ensure more young athletes get into the game."

Over the past six months, TeamSnap has been a key resource in helping sports organizations and teams navigate the pandemic and make a safe return to play. Its Return to Sports resource hub has been heavily accessed and its new Health Check COVID-19 screening tool, which it is providing free to all of TeamSnap's 24 million users, has already been used more than 4 million times.

TeamSnap Announces 10 Million Customers Now Use Its Sports Team Management Platform

Sports Team Management

BOULDER, Colo., April 19, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- TeamSnap, the leading tool for organizing and communicating every aspect of active sports life, today announced that a milestone 10 million coaches, administrators, organizers, parents and players now use its online and mobile apps to streamline group activities.

"With our team management market dominance, our rich database of player and parent information and our constant customer engagement, we are rapidly becoming the unifying sports team platform and marketplace for sports-related products and services," said TeamSnap CEO and Co-Founder Dave DuPont.

Coaches, administrators, players and parents use TeamSnap to make organizing sports as simple as click, tap and go. The company closed a B-series round of $10 million in 2015, following a period of staggering growth that nearly doubled its customer base over the past 18 months to 10 million users in 196 countries. Since the company was founded in 2009, TeamSnap has been used to schedule 7.2 million games for 800,000 teams across 83 types of sports and groups.

The company's goal of engaging customers before, during and after the game is making TeamSnap the must-have brand they turn to many times a day for every kind of sports team activity. TeamSnap interacts with active users an average of 40 times per month, and its native mobile apps have been a particular hit with almost 2 million downloads. The iOS app has a 4.7 out of 5 customer rating in the App Store and consistently appears in the Top 10 Free Sports Apps category, and the Android app has a 4.1 out of 5 rating, with more than 2,000 five-star ratings.

Here's what some of TeamSnap's 10 million customers have to say about the TeamSnap app:
* "Awesome, can't survive in soccer without it!"
* "Absolutely the best app that I have on my phone! I've shared with other coaches who now share my excitement over the ease and value of this tool. Two thumbs up!!!"
* "Can't get through the weekends without it!!!"
* "This app is great! We have been using it for two years now and don't think we could function without it."
* "As a busy mom with kids in multiple sports, this app is a lifesaver!!"
* "This app is an amazing tool for organizing our team and keeping everyone informed easily! I don't know what I would do without it!"

In addition to its industry-leading product, TeamSnap's commitment to supporting and fostering the youth sports community has been vital to their customer growth.

"One reason TeamSnap has reached the amazing milestone of 10 million members and leads the team management and communication market is that, like PCA, they are committed to ensuring that all young athletes have a positive, character-building youth sports experience," said Jason Sacks, Positive Coaching Alliance's national director of business development. "Their lead sponsorship of PCA's Double-Goal Coach Awards has accelerated growth of that program and, in turn, recognition of coaches who put life lessons right up there with wins in importance. Their support of our online courses for AAU serves as another example of our friends at TeamSnap working hard and smart to make sure coaches have the resources they need to make a positive impact in the lives of young players."
