I've been using TeamSnap for a variety of teams for more than five years. I've used CountMeIn, ngin, Korrio, League Athletics, Sports Affinity, Bonzi plus a few more. Those which register easily, don't always schedule or communicate well. The functions most important once teams have been formed.
TeamSnap constantly works to add new features and improve existing ones. I am about to test their league/association site that will allow multiple teams/sports under the same umbrella. This software is excellent for a coach or a manager to use for single team management. It simplifies communicating with players and families.
Email or group chats are easy for using amongst players or coaches. You can easily see who is on a team you are a member of. Player availability can be easily tracked for practices and games to help coaches plan. Volunteers or snacks/drink assignments can be created for each game or event. As a parent and a team manager I have very positive experiences using it over multiple years and sports. Both the free and paid team plans are great for a single team.
When running an organization an administrator needs the ability to talk to a support person to avoid problems and help with issues that are not covered in how-to's and help videos. The chat feature on the website is a bot responding with generic help topics that I have already read. Emailing support means waiting days up to a week of back and forth to get an answer that isn't just linking to helpless how-to's. Most youth sports are run by volunteers with fulltime jobs outside of team sports management and the time and brain power to implement a paid product like Teamsnap needs better support. Every registration I set up I think "It will be simple now that I've done it,".
But different variables have made the need for support an issue every season. I have noticed that my issues have been addressed in future how to articles which seems like I am a beta tester for Teamsnap that should be compensated for my time testing their product. If organization level plans could include customer support access it would solve this very large issue. About TeamSnap TeamSnap is dedicated to taking the hassle out of managing, coaching and participating in team sports. Eight million coaches, parents, team managers and players use TeamSnap's web and mobile apps to save their sanity and stay in the know through email, text and instant alerts.
Very easy to use and lots of features that are helpful. I am a parent of a teen-aged athlete and have a hard time keeping up with her practice, game, and travel schedule. With TeamSnap all that can be put in one central place that's easy to use. There are other features too, like contact info of other parents, who's assigned to bring what at tournament, etc. Anyone can send messages or alerts to coaches, parents, players and it keeps a nice tidy record of it all if you have to go back to review a message. I cannot think of a single bug in the software after 3+ years of using TeamSnap.
Also, they have great customer service who helped me when I was having a problem subscribing to TeamSnap calendar from Apple calendar. This year, NPSC is debuting a new format to finalize team formation for the U12 and younger teams, in an effort to place players together in a team that is more cohesive in skill and experience.

Now, I can do all that through TeamSnap, and it automates a lot of those functions. I no longer have to worry if a player's demail address dropped off the email chain.
