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!"

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." 

Led by studies which indicate that kids who have a savings account are six times more likely to go to college and four times more likely to own stocks by the age of 25, Goalsetter empowers K-12 students and their families by helping them build confidence in their financial decisions. Its financial education offering uses relatable GIFs, memes, quizzes and gamification to teach kids and teens the language of money. 

In addition to offering effective and engaging financial education, Goalsetter is the only platform to also provide access to savings accounts, debit cards and investment accounts with groundbreaking and industry-leading features. 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.

>"TeamSnap's commitment to driving policy changes through TeamSnap Impact is strategically aligned with the PLAY Sports Coalition's mission to ensure youth sports programs in underserved communities thrive," said **Peter Frintzilas, CEO of TeamSnap.**

TeamSnap recently launched [TeamSnap Impact](https://www.teamsnap.com/blog/announcements/teamsnap-launches-teamsnap-impact?utm_source=PRNewswire&utm_medium=press-release&utm_term=&utm_campaign=22Q2-Jun-Teams-Community-Impact-Launch&utm_content=play-sports-coalition-bod-pr&utm_audience=Teams), a program dedicated to tackling the major problems facing youth sports, including affordability, gender equality, access to quality coaching and more.

Showcasing the power of PLAY Sports Coalition's leadership & grassroots members, in March 2021 they effectively advocated for an allocation of tax revenue from mobile sports betting in the state of New York to go to youth sports nonprofits. Through this effort, a grant program started this year from 1% of this tax revenue, and going forward $5 million per fiscal year will be allocated directly to the program.

"We are extremely proud to join forces with this group of leaders and game-changers in our industry and communities. I look forward to having a seat at this table and being able to engage in impactful conversation on how to bring the benefits of youth sports to children who are too often not able to join sports leagues due to socioeconomic status and other factors outside of their control."

This new community impact program is focused on enhancing the lives of kids by creating a world where youth sports programs are accessible and equitable for all.

>"We are committed to helping improve access to quality sports programs for all young athletes, regardless of race, gender, religion or socio-economic status. We have the privilege of providing funding, software, and services to the youth sports community, and I believe it is our responsibility to ensure we are leveling the playing field. TeamSnap Impact is a significant step in that direction," said **Peter Frintzilas, CEO of TeamSnap.**

With more than 15 years of experience leading non-profit sports organizations and a deep understanding of the youth sports landscape, Lance Lee, Director of TeamSnap Impact, has been fundamental in laying the groundwork for this new program. According to **Lance Lee**, "Our aim with TeamSnap Impact is to leverage our deep roots within youth sports to make a real and tangible impact on underserved youth.

To drive the conversation, Peter Frintzilas serves on the PLAY Sports Coalition Board of Directors and Lance Lee on the PCA National Leadership Council.

TeamSnap Impact is committed to helping teams and sports programs build stronger communities and increase participation with the aid of their world-class team management technology.

**Direct Funding**

Finally, to directly impact young athletes in their communities, TeamSnap Impact is committed to making significant investments toward building community programs, through scholarships and monetary grants to organizations that serve young athletes.

As a lead sponsor, TeamSnap Impact is aiding the growth of PYSC's Philly Girls Got Game program focusing on gender equality, including a Title IX celebration and Women in Sport Summit. TeamSnap Impact is also partnering with [Maryland State Youth Soccer Association (MSYSA)](https://www.msysa.org/) as a sponsor of their "Let's Play" initiative to increase the number of young athletes who have access to MSYSA's in-school soccer programs. Additionally in February of 2022, TeamSnap Impact was able to offer their first merit-based scholarships to two teams attending the NFL Flag Football Championship in Las Vegas.

>"The experience meant a lot to me. The exposure, getting a chance to travel on a plane to a new place, meeting new people. It was all something I'll never forget," said **Donell Phillips** (age 14, Memphis, Ten.), a player for Memphis Shelby PAL, one of the teams that received a scholarship from TeamSnap Impact for the 2022 NFL Flag Football Championships. His coach, **Sergeant Craig Littles** went on to say, "Without TeamSnap's support, I'm not sure how our team would have been able to afford to travel to Vegas. The financial support we received was a true blessing, and seeing a company the kids are familiar with actually care enough to support us at that level, meant the world to me and my kids."
