## SportsEngine HQ Reviews
  ### 1. Keeps Our Volleyball Team Organized and Informed

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Briana L. | Customer Success and also Concierge, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2025

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

I enjoy that they have put together a place for my daughters volleyball.  This helps us keep all of our stuff organized

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

Nothing really.  I feel like it keeps up updated and that is all we need

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeping us parents in the loop and informed.  That is all we need.  Nothing more nothing less

  ### 2. USA Skateboarding applauds Sports Engine

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Zippy . | Administration Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2024

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

Coming from a FileMaker software background, I found that having an entity, like Sports Engine, provide USA Skateboarding with much needed membership quidance, as the times have been changing, was instrumental in our continued growth as a sports organization for our membership.  Compliance of ALL memberships is essential and working with Sports Engine made it professional and helful.  The staff at Sports Engine are knowledgible and take the time to understand if a question is asked.  They make it easy to utilize the Sports Engine website, making implementation areas of HQ easy to use, especially if you use the platform often, and it seemed to integrate well with our Compliance procedures.  
I am grateful to be a part of the membership HQ for USA Skateboarding and Sports Engine.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

I can't think of a downside to Sports Engine as it has proved to be essential for the membeship of not only USA Skateboarding but all athletes in a sports environment.

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The typical questions arise when a background check is still pending (no fault of Sports Engine) or when they don't understand what and/or why Safesport is required.
Especially with the just turned 18 members, Sports Engine is kind and takes the time to explain thoroughly or refer to me if needed  :)

  ### 3. User-friendly, intuitive, and comprehensive solution for our sports teams management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Heather F. | Director of Strategic Communications & Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2024

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

As a member of our Admin Leadership Team that works primarily in the backend of SportsEngine, I have found it to be incredibly intuitive and user-friendly. I was the member of our team to build the public-facing website, and found it to be very easy and efficient to do. 

I was able to work with our SportsEngine representative for a short training session ahead of building the site, and I had very few questions during my build process due to the comprehensive training and access to support if needed.

Our SportsEngine representive (Mickey) was also very helpful in helping set up some custom questions and registration notifications that gave us the ability to gain further donations for our non-profit and subsequently, recognize these registrants/donors in a timely fashion.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

I have not found anything that I dislike as of yet. I did have a question about building a specific export I needed because the "exact" filter I was looking for was not available, but we figured out a way to run a report that suited my needs.

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SportsEngine has eased the registration process for our families, and has significantly decreased the number of questions our administrative staff receives during the height of registration periods. I think we can attribute this to the user interface, the intuitive function of SportsEngine, and the ability for our coaches and staff to easily access and utilize the functionality and capabilities of SportsEngine (rostering, etc.). 

We have upwards of 30 teams and nearly 900 athletes in a given season, and SportsEngine has provided a way for us to streamline our processes greatly for registration, training camps, etc.

  ### 4. Sports Engine is the way to go for Youth Sports!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Heather S. | Youth League Secretary, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 12, 2024

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

The Customer Service is Top Notch!!!I am our youth football league Secretary and I know a little about computers but nothing about building a whole website with registrations and lots of extras! They help us to keep our league looking very professional and easy to add photos, schedules, announcements! Setting up the background screen and registrations that are completely entered online were easy to do. If I needed anything changed -  I simply chatted or sent an email and was met with thorough, easy to navigate directions. They are so friendly and changes to set-ups are done super fast, even if you make a lot!!  I recommend anyone who needs help getting their league brought up to date to use Sports Engine!

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

Only thing I wish was better is the mobile user process. I had some parents who had troubles when accessing the site through their phones.

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Totally revamped our league and had every to break every sign up level down to a per grade level with multiple options, it was a breeze!

  ### 5. Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation reaches new heights with SportsEngine

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mimi C. | Director of Business and Administration, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2024

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

When SVSEF outgrew the registration platform that we had been using, we went straight to SportsEngine. The customer support before, during, and after implemenation has been amazing.  The SportsEngine Team took all the time we needed to make sure we were setting up our registration platform in a way that would serve the needs of our families, coaches, and business department. Once we learned our way around SportsEngine HQ, we found that it was really easy to use.  The reporting is excellent too.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

There are few limitations with SportsEngine. One of the upgrades that we would like to see in the future is an interactive Wait List whereby an HQ Admin can automatically invite a Wait Listed athlete to register for team.

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SVSEF experienced a 55% increase in opening day registration once we impletmented SportsEngine.  We attribut this to the easy of use for families and our ability to provide families with unique discounts.  We are a big youth sports organization with over 900 athletes registered for over 32 different teams and SportsEngine HQ has been a huge efficiency gain for us!

  ### 6. Easy to use & great customer help!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Timothy B. | League President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2024

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

The upside of Sports Engine is the integration of the webste to the app.  All families use the app.  Coaches and famliies communicate and schedule events through the app.  While the website and app integrate, most families just use the app on a daily basis.  Thie app makes everything easier for familes.   To ensure this is all working easily, customer support through Sports Enngine is easy to use and responsive.  Calls and chat features make it easy for all to use.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

The one thing we dislike is uploading games from an Excel or CSV file.  It takes longer but it is much eaier to type in ll games, one by one.

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Communicating with families.

  ### 7. Good app that's getting even better

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeff B. | Senior Principal, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2024

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

Everything in one place. I can see my team roster, chat with them, and schedule practices and games.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

The app was a bit buggy this season with a key function missing (messages to the team) removed without notice. It seems to be back with the latest version. But very frustrating to have that feature missing.

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ability to manage my team.

  ### 8. Excellent customer service

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sara M. | Board Treasurer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2024

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

We are an all volunteer ski program in the midwest and needed an effecient way to register and communicate with our volunteers and atheles.  SportsEngine was easy to implement and what we could not figure out, customer service was quick to jump in. We were able to combine background checks so our volunteers just need one account.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

Sometimes the app and internet version differ

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Registering and communicating with atheles and volunteers.  Creating  a database for people's information.

  ### 9. A must have for teams!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eva B. | Publicity and Marketing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2024

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

I think SportsEngine is a wonderful platform to keep everyone updated - from scheduling games and practices, having the RSVP function and being able to include locations is a real game changer. The chat function is nice also to keep everyone informed, ask questions etc.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

I'm not a fan of the newer update where you can't see a monthly layout. Everything is by the day and with multiple kids in sports it's nice to see a calendar layout listing everything on any given day. I find it less appealing and not as user friendly.

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I haven't experienced any issues

  ### 10. Made the transition from LeagueAthletics and totally worth it

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David B. | Fractional CPO / Advisor / Consultant / Investor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2024

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

How easy it is to manage our website and database once set up.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

We need a comprehensive platform and we're just not there yet.

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We need a central location to host our youth baseball club's website and registration database.

  ### 11. Good but not flawless

**Reviewed by:** Betsy D. | Social Work, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

Managing all teams and sports on 1 website is nice

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Doug M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2024

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

As a volleyball club, the integration with USAV sports programs makes SportsEngine a great product for handling  volleyball teams.

The ability to quickly create registrations for recurring volleyball programs is awesome.

I use SportsEngine daily to monitor payments, registrations, etc.

Whenever I've had technical challenges that I couldn't solve, the tech support team has been fairly quick to help me resolve the problems that will invariably pop up.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

As a volleyball club, we play in AAU tournaments (as well as USAV) and SportsEngine is not as nicely wrapped with AAU as it is with USAV.  It would be nice to show AAU memberships along with USAV memberships.

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

SportsEngine helps me prepare and monitor registrations for my monthly volleyball courses.  Also, SportsEngine helps me monitor payments for my longer-running programs like club teams.

Super fast customer support online and very responsive.

**Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2024

We love the functionality of the registration process for our club members to use on our website. We are able to make various options for members to sign up and track their payments as well as memberships all in one place.

There are a lot of functions we do not use, but so far all of the options we use have been helpful for us.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2024

Sports Engine has been in the game a long time, which means they've learned as the years have gone on and consistently updated their product to me the current needs of youth sports teams.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

Sports Engine can take some learning on the back end.  Once you've been in it a while, it seems to really make sense!

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Registration, volunteering, tracking members.

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

It is reasonably easy to use.  Customer service support is readily available.

Sometimes when you roll out new ideas and processes it takes to learn them.  As a very part time web administrator we don't have time to learn new ways of accomplishing the same thing

No real problems from my perspective.  I have had questions and suggestions in the past that have been resolved

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

Our club went from paper to SportsEngine and it was simple.  The exporting and filtering makes it easy for any executives to get required information.

I prefer the legacy financial reports but we are getting used to the new ones

**Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2024

Just the unknown, however, the support team has been great.

none at this time

  ### 23. Has some minor benefits, but not recommend for larger leagues.

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports

**Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2023

**What do you like best about SportsEngine HQ?**

Some of the options when creating a team page.

**What do you dislike about SportsEngine HQ?**

The UX isn't intuitive, the reporting is limited, and rostering takes a long time. I wouldn't recommend this system if you are running a league with more than 2 teams. It seems built for smaller programs.

**What problems is SportsEngine HQ solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Unfortunately, it causes more problems than it solves. Eventually, we will need to pass this software on to a new administrator. It will take them a good season or two to understand its nuances.
