TeamSnap Continues Expansion of Youth Soccer Footprint & Impact Through Key Partnerships

_"2023 Parents as Consumers Report" Provides a Look Inside the Purchase Decisions of Today's Parents & How Brands Can Capture the Attention of This Audience with More than $2T in Spending Power_

Chicago, May 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - **[TeamSnap](https://www.teamsnap.com/?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=press_release&utm_campaign=waudpressrelease&utm_contentType=press_release&utm_contentName=waudpressrelease&utm_audience=all)**, the leading provider of sports management software and online community for everything youth sports, announced that it has published The 2023 Parents as Consumers Report, which offers insights into why parents of youth athletes choose to spend in key industries, including big box stores, restaurants, sporting goods stores, and hotels. The report also offers tips for each type of retailer on best practices for connecting with these chief household decision makers. 

_To download a copy of the 15-page report, The 2023 Parents as Consumers Report, please visit:_[https://teamsnap.leagueside.com/2023-parents-as-consumers-report](https://teamsnap.leagueside.com/2023-parents-as-consumers-report).

**Key Findings on Buying Power of Youth Sports Parents**

* 43% of parents adjust their meals based on youth sports events and 36% make their vacation plans around youth sports. 
* 46% of athlete households spend $1,000 or more annually on youth sports alone and the athletes in these families have tremendous influence over purchase decisions.
* Passionate youth athletes with affluent parents means more spending on travel, food, equipment, and all other goods necessary to make the life of a youth sports family happen. 

>"Parents are engaged consumers who are responsible for much more beyond their own needs and interests – they shop, travel, and spend on behalf of entire households," said **Nicole McCormack, SVP & GM of Brand Solutions at TeamSnap.** "Sports parents, specifically, have an added layer of complexity and necessity to their spending, however youth sports is an extremely fragmented industry that many brands have yet to take advantage of." 

The research comes from a study commissioned by TeamSnap, and led by market research firm SSRS, that aimed to uncover what drives household purchase decisions amongst parents. Parents of youth athletes are a desirable demographic for B2C brands. The Chief Household Officer (CHO) must take into account multiple interests with each purchase they make. The brand that can make those decisions easier and create a positive experience as a whole is often the one that wins.

**A Snapshot of Parents' Buying Habits:**

* 38% of parents choose big box stores because they need specific items and will go to great lengths to get their kids' favorite snacks. Additionally, parents say they shop at a big box store because it has the best price.  
* 52% of parents choose quick service restaurants (QSR) because it is fast. Not surprising, as busy parents are more often looking for something fast to fuel up while on-the-go. 
    * Parents with a higher income are more driven to go to a QSR if they see an advertisement. 
* For parents with active kids, sporting goods stores are one of their most frequent retail locations. Higher income parents typically choose to shop at a sporting goods store because they trust the brand, it's their favorite, or they have a store card.
    * 43% of parents shop at sporting goods stores because they need specific items.
    * 33% purchase items at a sporting goods store because of quality. 
* 42% of parents select a hotel based on amenities
    * When choosing a hotel, parents consider if it has a pool for the kids, laundry machines, and parking. The decision in choosing a hotel is more driven by the overall experience than retail or restaurant purchases. 
* 45% of parents select a hotel because it is close to their destination. 

>"We published the 2023 Parents As Consumers Report to offer a look into what drives the purchase decisions of today's parents and inform brands on the opportunities to reach this active and engaged consumer," said **McCormack**." The report also provides helpful guidance on how to make their consumer experiences easier and more efficient to build and sustain brand loyalty." 

The data in this report was collected using an online opt-in sample of 1,035 parents between November 15 and November 26, 2022, using a nationally representative sample of the U.S. population.

 >"Cal North is excited about partnering with TeamSnap as our ODP communication platform. The ODP program has a lot of moving pieces and being able to communicate easily and timely is critical," said **Kevin Crow, Cal North Director of Player Development & Competitions.** "This will provide our ODP coaches, players and parents an improved overall ODP experience!"

_New Initiative to Break Down Barriers to Sport Participation and Financial Literacy in Underserved Communities_

Chicago (Aug. 11, 2022) - **[TeamSnap](https://www.teamsnap.com/?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=press_release&utm_campaign=waudpressrelease&utm_contentType=press_release&utm_contentName=waudpressrelease&utm_audience=all)**, the leading provider of team management software and online community for everything youth sports, today announced its partnership with Goalsetter, an award-winning and groundbreaking fintech platform dedicated to providing families and K-12 youth with access to banking, savings, investing, and financial education tools. 

This strategic alliance between TeamSnap and Goalsetter will help drive the TeamSnap Impact mission, making it possible for youth in underserved communities to have equal access to quality sports programs, so all kids can reap the benefits that sports participation and physical activity bring. To maximize the power of this partnership, TeamSnap and Goalsetter will jointly use the revenue generated from family sign-ups toward TeamSnap Impact efforts, supporting community partners nationwide.

TeamSnap Impact and Goalsetter are committed to working together to help youth teams and sports programs build stronger communities and brighter futures through an increased participation in sports and focus on both physical and financial well-being. To download the Goalsetter app and support TeamSnap Impact efforts, visit the [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/goalsetter-invest-bank/id1440624866) or [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goalsetter&hl=en_US&gl=US&pli=1) and use referral code: TEAMSNAP.

>"Our mission with TeamSnap Impact is to increase access to quality sports programs, which we know is strongly tied to improved goal-setting among youth. Together with Goalsetter, we're committed to driving the connection between improved goal-setting from youth sports participation and setting goals for financial success. I'm confident that together we'll be able to positively impact the trajectory of the next generation. That's how we all win," said **Greg Ludke, VP of Corporate Strategy & Development for TeamSnap.**

To make the most impact in leveling the playing field, TeamSnap Impact has centered its initiatives around policy formulation, direct funding and technology grants. They are focused on improving access to quality sports programs—regardless of race, gender, religion or socio-economic status—so all young athletes can experience sport at all stages of life. TeamSnap and Goalsetter are aligned on addressing the number of challenges facing today's youth, especially in underserved communities.

>"The work we are doing with TeamSnap is a critical part of achieving our mission at Goalsetter because we understand that to effectively address disparities and change the economic trajectory of our communities requires taking a holistic approach that ensures their physical, mental, emotional and financial well-being," said **Tanya Van Court, founder and CEO of Goalsetter.** "Together, TeamSnap and Goalsetter are working to help our youth establish the healthy behaviors we know will serve them and their own children for generations to come by putting them on the path to wellness, both physically and financially."

Its financial education offering uses relatable GIFs, memes, quizzes and gamification to teach kids and teens the language of money.

For example, "Learn to Earn" lets kids earn money for every financial quiz question they get right, and "Learn Before You Burn" lets parents automatically freeze their child's debit cards if they haven't taken their financial literacy quizzes for the week. Additionally, the Goalsetter Invest feature teaches kids how to invest on a dollar equivalent basis while learning the terminology of the stock market. 

>"Waud Capital Partners is excited about the TeamSnap and Goalsetter partnership and its potential to change the lives of youth in underrepresented communities. At WCP, we strongly believe in educating young, underrepresented populations on financial literacy and responsibility, and we are thrilled that our portfolio is making an impact in this space as well, hopefully improving the lives of families for generations to come," said **Justin DuPere, partner at Waud Capital Partners, private equity partner of TeamSnap.**

Participation in youth sports aids children in the development and improvement of cognitive skills, according to a study that tracked kids from kindergarten through fourth grade (Piche, 2014). Additionally, physical activity in general is associated with improved academic achievement, and can have a positive impact on attitudes and academic behavior, including improved concentration, attention, and improved classroom behavior (GAO, 2012). Other positive effects include increased mental health, decreased risk of obesity and improvements in goal setting skills.
