Sault Youth SC
Youth soccer club · Sault Ste. Marie, Northern Ontario
Dawn, your own welcome post said you're hoping to move SYSC 'towards a more user-friendly system when it comes to registration' - that's exactly what we build, and with 1,600 players I think we could show you a big time-saver.
Why they need it
Sault Youth Soccer Club serves roughly 1,600 players across house league, Junior United, and the competitive Soo City United program, coordinated through about ten separate role-based Gmail addresses (President, VP, Treasurer, Director of Grassroots, etc.) and a generic external Google Form for coach applications. The club's own website post introducing its new office manager states, in the manager's own words, a goal of moving 'towards a more user-friendly system when it comes to registration' - a rare case of a prospect publicly naming the exact pain point. Build a unified parent/coach portal that replaces the scattered Gmail-per-role setup with routed, tracked inquiries; folds coach applications into the same system as registration data instead of a disconnected Google Form; and gives the office manager one dashboard for a 1,600-player club instead of juggling ten inboxes and a fax line. This directly delivers the improvement the club has already told its community it wants.
Tech gaps
Roughly 10 different @gmail.com addresses, one per board role, instead of a unified system; coach applications run through a generic external Google Form disconnected from roster/registration data; office still lists a fax number; the club has publicly stated it wants a better registration experience but has no dedicated tool beyond SportsEngine's default flow.
Current tech
SportsEngine SRM-powered website; the entire board (President through Director of Media/Sponsorships) uses individually created @gmail.com role-based addresses; coaching applications are collected via an external Google Form (forms.gle); the office lists both a phone and a fax number; the club's own news post introducing its new office manager states a goal of moving 'towards a more user-friendly system when it comes to registration.'

- “Can't we just use a template?”
