Online Registration:
|
Participants (players, coaches, and referees) go to your web site,
fill in their information, pay on-line (if they have a balance due).
League Partner remembers the participant if
he or she has registered before. You get your money quickly, and
you don't have to do the data entry.
|
|
Integrated Website:
|
Your web site is controlled by you through the
League Partner Control Panel. Any updates you make through
your control panel are immediately available on the site. And you
don't need to know any computerese - the editor is as simple to use
as any word processing software you are used to. Simple - but
powerful, that is.
|
|
Game Scheduling:
|
League Partner will schedule your games
in round-robin fashion with a few clicks of the mouse. If you have
an odd number of teams, you can choose to have a bye, a double header,
or schedule a team to play against itself. Tournament scheduling is
available as well.
|
|
Security and Backups:
|
League Partner is accessible only by
secure login. Backups of your data are automated. The standard is
one backup each night, but we can accommodate your needs. You may
also create an instantaneous backup of your data at any time through the control panel.
|
|
Email and SMS:
|
Yes, you can email any participant in your
League Partner system. You can email an
entire team, an entire division, just your coaches, only your
referees, you name it. Oh, and you can text message the
participants who sign up to receive SMS texts. They'll get the last second
text message regarding moved practices. Oh, and you can create
professional looking emails without knowing any HTML. Our
email editor is full featured and easy to learn and use.
|
|
Credit Card:
|
League Partner works with PayPal. Setting
up your PayPal account takes only a few minutes. Depending on the
volume of charges and whether you qualify for PayPal non-profit
status, you pay between 2.2% and 2.9% plus $0.30 transaction fee.
League Partner does not mark up PayPal fees
at all. Want to work with a different payment gateway? Just ask,
there's an excellent chance League Partner
can do it.

|
Help:
|
Every page in the League Partner control
panel has a dedicated help page. In the business we call this
context sensitive help. For you, it means you don't have to dig
through the manual - just click the 
|
|
Sub Fields:
|
Do you have a large field that you use for adult or older youth games,
but then you split it up for smaller sided youth games?
League Partner handles the game scheduling for
this. It will block the big field if the smaller field is scheduled,
and vice-versa - automatically.
|
|
Web Hosting:
|
League Partner will host your web site,
using your domain name (yoursoccerorg.com). You'll have email
addresses like johnsmith@yoursoccerorg.com. And most
organizations can be hosted for just $10 per month.
|
|
Web Pages:
|
You have complete control over your web pages. League Partner
comes with a WYSIWYG editor (What you see is what you get). That
just means it works like other word processors you're already used to.
You can create tables, and colors, and insert pictures. You don't need
to know any HTML!
|
|
Anti-Spam:
|
League Partner implements a mail queue -
sending your email out in small batches. And our email system includes
features that will help spam blockers realize that your
messages are not spam.
|
|
Uniforms:
|
Whether you issue t-shirst or full uniforms, League Partner
helps you track them. League Partner
generates the order, keeping track of uniform size, whether a
player already has a uniform from the prior season, and where
each uniform is located (ordered, in the office, with the team
manager, with the player...) This feature saves you both money
and headaches.
|
|
Forum:
|
League Partner offers an online forum
for coaches, players, parents, and referees, to share ideas (skill drills)
discuss the latest league happenings, and to bring up
important league issues.
|
|
Length:
|
This feature list is long, and you're not even close to the end.
What's more, we haven't even included everything here.
|
|
Spanish:
|
The on-line registration web pages are already translated into
Spanish for you. Your spanish speaking particpant just clicks on
the  icon to translate.
Spanish translation is supported for your news and alerts as well.
|
|
Wait Lists:
|
Go ahead and assign a player to the team with space. Mark him or her
as waiting for up to two other teams that are currently full. One
more way that League Partner helps keep
your players happy.
|
|
Back-ups:
|
Your data is secure and gets backed up automatically. Even better,
you can make your own back-up copies directly from the
League Partner control panel with one
mouse click. Then you can copy your back-up to a flash drive and
carry it with you.
|
|
Reports:
|
Nineteen built-in reports are available now, and more are being added.
Reports on transactions, balances due, team rosters,
uniform orders, teams with space, teams needing a coach,
statistics, and more can be generated quickly and easily.
Every report has a print friendly version, or can be emailed
directly from League Partner. Need
a custom report? Just ask...
|
|
Referees:
|
Referees register on-line just like players (or you can register
the referees using the control panel). You can then assign
referees and assistants to upcoming games, and email assignments
to the coaches and referees.
|
|
Volunteers:
|
Track volunteers contact information. And if you use volunteers to
referee your games, you can assign them directly from the
League Partner control panel.
|
|
Sponsors:
|
League Partner helps you keep up with your
sponsors, and offers new ways to get your sponsors exposure. Link
up to two sponsors with each team, which coordinates with your
uniform order. Display sponsor logos and link to sponsor web sites
directly from your organization's web site. League Partner
also displays a rotating "featured" sponsor on your home page.
Do you have other ideas for improving your sponsorship return? We
can help!
|
|
Donations:
|
Your home page can have a PayPal Donation button, and there is a
prompt during registration to solicit donations from your
participants. Reports of transactions track your donations, too.
|
|
Coupons:
|
You can create coupons in the League Partner
control panel and issue them to scholarship players. Coupon
redemption features are all under your control.
|
|
Fee Structure:
|
Do you have simple fee structure for your players, or is it super
complicated? Either way, League Partner
is ready. Support for registration fees, discounts for returning
players, uniform fees, late fees, fees based on divisions, credits
for volunteers, and coupons is already built in. Have a fee system
you don't think we can handle? We're up for the challenge - give
League Partner a try.
|
|
ICal:
|
Your team web pages will display complete game and practice schedules.
Your participants can click on the  icon and easily download an
ical file into their on-line calendar. Bingo, they get notification
of their upcoming games and practices!
|
|
Family Scheduling:
|
League Partner lets you see when family
members have games that conflict. So if you have an adult league
and a youth league, you can see that Mom's game overlaps with
her son's game, and adjust your schedule accordingly. Please your
players' parents!
|
|
The End:
|
Just kidding. We were serious that we haven't listed all the features
here. And more are being added all the time. We don't think you'll
find any league management software that is better equipped, at any
price. And yes, we compete on price too! Remember, no sales force,
means we can keep our prices lower than the competition...
