This season, TeamSnap and Major League Baseball (MLB) joined forces to help young pitchers develop a game that is not only smart but sustainable.

Inspired by the findings of a year-long study from MLB on injuries among pitchers, which found that pitching injuries were on the rise even among the youngest players, the new Pitch Smart video series from TeamSnap and MLB gives baseball coaches, parents and players alike the latest thinking on long-term pitcher health. 

Hear from Dr. Christopher Camp, Head Team Physician and Director of High Performance for the Minnesota Twins, on how to reduce youth injuries so young baseball players can play the long game.

Hear from Jim Schlossnagle, Head Baseball Coach of the University of Texas, on how to recognize fatigue.

Or get perspective from Jason Maxwell, former MLB player and National Team Manager for USA Baseball, on the risks of chasing velocity.

The goal? To make sure young players don’t cut their baseball careers short by chasing short-term goals. 

“Major League Baseball partnered with TeamSnap to spread the word about pitcher health,” said John D’Angelo, Major League Baseball’s Senior Vice President of Amateur and Medical Baseball Operations. “We brought the best minds in sports medicine together with top baseball coaches to share their wisdom and give TeamSnap’s vast audience of baseball parents, coaches and young players themselves the tools and insight they need for a healthy and durable career in baseball.”

Milestone Underscores Scalable Model Delivering Real Community Impact While Connecting Brands with Communities Nationwide

Chicago, March 31, 2026 – TeamSnap, the #1 youth sports management platform, today announced it has surpassed $20 million given back to youth sports organizations nationwide through brand-sponsored programs on its platform. The milestone reflects the scale and durability of TeamSnap’s sponsorship infrastructure, delivering measurable value for national brands by connecting them with engaged families and supporting sustained participation across local sports communities.

Through these programs, TeamSnap has facilitated sponsorship funding for more than 45,000 youth sports organizations and 4 million teams, reaching 17.3 million households across the U.S. and Canada. In total, brand sponsorships activated through TeamSnap reach more than 100 million parents, players, coaches, and fans annually through on-field and in-community activations.

As youth sports participation costs have risen more than 40 percent since 2019, TeamSnap’s sponsorship model helps reduce operational friction for leagues and clubs by offsetting common expenses such as registration, equipment, travel, and tournament fees. The result is greater continuity for families invested in youth sports and more sustainable operations for the organizations that serve them.

“This milestone reflects the infrastructure we have built to operate at national scale while delivering tangible, local outcomes,” said Peter Frintzilas, CEO of TeamSnap. “TeamSnap enables brands to show up consistently in communities families trust, while ensuring youth sports organizations have the support they need to keep seasons running smoothly. It is a model designed for long-term participation, engagement, and value on both sides.”

Youth sports reaches nearly half of the U.S. population and represents one of the most trusted environments for engaging families. More than 570 national and regional brand partners across CPG, automotive, travel, finance, healthcare, retail, and telecommunications, including Spectrum, Fiber Home Internet, Kraft Heinz, Meiji America, Progressive, ScottsMiracle-Gro, BODYARMOR, and e.l.f. Beauty, currently leverage TeamSnap’s platform to activate sponsorships and advertising programs at scale with local relevance.

“Participation in youth sports brings neighbors together and strengthens communities,” said Sharon Peters, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Spectrum. “Partnering with TeamSnap allows us to support local leagues at scale while building lasting connections with families across the country. It’s an impactful way for us to invest in the communities we proudly serve.” 

For leagues and clubs, sponsorship funding delivered through TeamSnap helps ensure programs remain well-resourced and accessible season after season.

“The sponsorship funding our clubs have received through TeamSnap helped manage costs and focus on delivering a strong experience for our families,” said Justin Miller, CEO of Rush Soccer. “Support like this makes a real difference at the local level and helps keep participation steady across our programs.”

With unmatched reach across millions of teams and tens of millions of families, TeamSnap has become a central platform for youth sports sponsorships nationwide. The $20 million milestone marks a foundation for continued growth, reinforcing youth sports as a powerful, scalable channel for brand engagement and long-term community connection.

This spring, TeamSnap and Major League Soccer joined forces to help young soccer players at all levels improve their game – at home.

TeamSnap’s latest at-home training videos feature skills training from MLS GO, Major League Soccer’s recreational youth program dedicated to providing an inclusive and high-quality soccer experience for all kids ages 4-14, as well as MLS NEXT, the most elite platform for youth player development in North America for U13-U19 players. Each video includes progressions, so players can start with the fundamentals, then level up until they are confident enough for the ultimate goal – to perform the skill under pressure, in a game.

With a steady focus on ball mastery, the MLS GO individual training helps young players dribble with rhythm and purpose, and develop the kind of skills – perception, awareness – that will serve them well as they grow and develop as soccer players.

MLS NEXT individual training takes those essential skills to the next level. Older, more advanced players learn to engage the whole body to escape and evade defenders, and develop the kind of ball manipulation skills, body feints and footwork that the world’s best players execute on the pitch.

How do I find at-home training from MLS GO and MLS NEXT in the TeamSnap app?

If you have an existing youth soccer team, simply switch to that team in the TeamSnap app, head to Discover and scroll right to see all the personalized, premium training that TeamSnap has for you. Or create a new soccer team.

TeamSnap has achieved SOC 2 Type I data security compliance, affirming our commitment to protecting youth sports data for all 30M+ of our users.

TeamSnap has achieved SOC 2 Type I compliance. This major milestone reinforces our commitment to protecting the data of more than 30 million coaches, parents, players, and administrators who rely on our platform every season.

This certification, conducted by an independent auditor under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) standards, validates the design of the internal security controls that safeguard information across the TeamSnap platform.

“Security should be a standard in youth sports technology, not an afterthought,” said Reed Shaffner, CTO TeamSnap. “Achieving SOC 2 Type I Compliance is evidence of the investment we’ve made to ensure TeamSnap delivers an unmatched level of protection that families, clubs, and governing bodies should expect from the platforms they rely on – not just marketing spin.” 

Security isn’t just a feature at TeamSnap: it’s foundational to how youth sports technology should operate.

Why Security Matters in Youth Sports

Youth sports organizations manage some of the most sensitive information families share online, including:

• Player identity and registration details
• Medical forms and emergency contacts
• Payment and billing information
• Photos, videos, and communications involving minors

Protecting that information requires strong systems, clear processes, and continuous oversight.

SOC 2 Type I compliance validates that the security controls behind the TeamSnap platform are designed to meet recognized industry standards for protecting that data.

What SOC 2 Type I Compliance Means

SOC 2 Type I compliance verifies that an organization has implemented appropriate security controls designed to protect customer data.

An independent auditor evaluates how systems are monitored, how risks are managed, and how access to sensitive information is controlled.

For the millions of families and thousands of organizations using TeamSnap, it provides additional assurance that the platform is built on strong security practices.

Security Supports the Growth of Youth Sports Organizations

As youth sports programs grow, expectations around data privacy are rising.

Clubs and leagues increasingly need to demonstrate how player and family information is stored and protected when working with:

• school districts
• governing bodies
• partner facilities
• boards and league administrators

Security certifications such as SOC 2 help organizations confidently answer those questions while continuing to grow their programs.

Building Trust Across Youth Sports

SOC 2 Type I compliance is an important step in TeamSnap’s continued investment in security, privacy, and platform reliability.

Because in youth sports, trust is everything, and protecting the families who rely on our platform will always be central to the TeamSnap mission.

Whether your team wins the game or not, your athletes need to know that you’ll be there waiting for them with a high five on the sidelines.

Incorporating positive techniques into coaching is a well-documented way of building self-esteem and self-confidence in athletes while also increasing their love of the sport. Yet, many coaches don’t realize the power that positive coaching techniques can have on an individual athlete or a team.

U.S. Center for SafeSport highlights a variety of strategies coaches can incorporate into their approach to help foster a positive sport environment. By integrating a few simple methods into your coaching toolkit, you can create an atmosphere that builds athletes up—helping them feel valued, respected, and more likely to enjoy and stay engaged in the game longer.

CHICAGO, February 4, 2026 –TeamSnap, the #1 youth sports management platform, closed out 2025 with major milestones that reinforced its position as the industry’s leading platform and set a new standard for how youth sports organizations operate, coach, and engage families at scale. Through platform innovation, pro-level partnerships, and continued community investment, TeamSnap advanced its mission to make youth sports more accessible, equitable, and impactful for the more than 19,000 organizations and 30 million users it serves.

Key highlights included:

Company Momentum

In 2025, TeamSnap reached new levels of scale and engagement, reinforcing its role as the platform families, coaches, and organizations rely on to keep youth sports running smoothly.

• Surpassed 30 million families, coaches, and organizers served, marking a major lifetime platform milestone
• Supported over 2 million daily active users, reflecting always-on, in-season reliance
• Delivered category-leading reach and engagement, with 1.6 billion user sessions, 2.7 million weekly chats, and 20.2 million scheduled events across the platform highlighting TeamSnap’s role in the daily rhythm of youth sports.

“These numbers reflect something much bigger than growth alone, they show how deeply TeamSnap is embedded in the daily rhythm of youth sports, powering the routines families and coaches depend on to run their seasons,” said Peter Frintzilas, CEO of TeamSnap. “When millions of families and coaches rely on you every week to run their season, it reinforces our responsibility to keep raising the bar, and to keep building what’s next for the future of youth sports.”

Launch of TeamSnap ONE: A New Standard for Youth Sports Management

This past November, TeamSnap introduced TeamSnap ONE, a unified platform designed to simplify and elevate the entire youth sports ecosystem. By bringing registration, scheduling, communication, coaching content and video streaming into a single, integrated experience, TeamSnap ONE marked a major evolution in the company’s platform strategy, setting a new standard for what youth sport operators should expect from a technology partner.

This platform evolution establishes the foundation for deeper engagement, accelerated innovation, and expanded impact across the youth sports ecosystem.

“When millions of families and organizations rely on your platform every day, reliability matters as much as innovation,” said Reed Shaffner, CTO of TeamSnap. “TeamSnap ONE gives us a stronger foundation to deliver both, at scale and with consistency, across the entire youth sports ecosystem.”

Leveling the Playing Field: Pro-Grade Training for Every Coach and Athlete

TeamSnap expanded its impact through pro-level content partnerships designed to remove barriers to high-quality coaching and player development. By pairing elite training expertise with a platform used by millions of families, TeamSnap is helping make youth sports more accessible, more equitable, and more impactful for coaches and athletes at every level.

Through these partnerships, TeamSnap delivers professional-grade instruction and development resources directly to the people who need them most, coaches, parents, and players, who are helping close long-standing gaps in access to high-quality training and education.

• Nike – Providing youth sports coaches with access to high-quality training resources that promote inclusive, athlete-first development
• Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) – Launched a landmark partnership to bring professional-level lacrosse training, coaching insight, and development content directly to youth players, families, and coaches nationwide
• AYSO – Deepening a long-standing partnership to modernize and expand access to coach education nationwide

Together with existing partnerships including NFL FLAG, MLS GO, Jr. NBA, and MLB, TeamSnap reinforces its role as the bridge between professional expertise and everyday youth sports communities.

A Trusted Platform for Authentic Brand Engagement

TeamSnap solidified its role as the leading platform for national brands seeking meaningful, brand-safe engagement with families and youth sports communities. By connecting brands to the moments that matter most, TeamSnap enables partnerships rooted in trust, education, and long-term impact.

Brand partners in 2025 included T-Mobile Fiber Home Internet, Kraft Heinz, Meiji America, Progressive, Scotts Miracle-Gro, BODYARMOR and e.l.f. Beauty—reflecting growing demand from brands looking to engage families authentically, at scale, and within trusted community environments.

Last year, TeamSnap and its on-field sponsorship partners directed more than $3.6 million back into local youth sports organizations, supporting clubs, leagues, and community programs nationwide. Together, these milestones reflect TeamSnap’s continued evolution from category leader to category standard-setter in youth sports.
