Three Parents.
One Mission.
We are three parents with young kids who play youth sports. We see the struggle. We feel the pressure. And we are building the solution.
Who We Are
We are parents. Our kids play baseball, soccer, and softball. And we have seen the same scene play out over and over again.
But we are not just parents, we are also working professionals in the youth sports space. We know the industry from the inside: how organizations operate, how teams manage budgets, how coaches juggle logistics, and how the whole system can break down when families are stretched thin.
That combination — personal experience as parents and professional expertise in youth sports — is what drives everything we build at NextPlay. We understand the problem from every angle.
Why We Are Building NextPlay
A parent who wants their kid to play, but is quietly worried about the dues. A coach who wants every kid on the roster, but has to chase payments instead of running practice. A team that feels the tension when money gets tight.
The cost of everything keeps rising. Uniforms, equipment, league fees, travel costs. Youth sports used to be simple. Now it is a financial strain for too many families.
We wanted to change that. So we're building NextPlay, a platform that takes the financial burden off families so their kids can play sports without any worries.
The Problem We Saw
We are not just founders. We are in the stands every weekend. We see what is really happening.
Rising Costs
Registration fees, uniforms, equipment, travel — it all adds up. Many families are forced to choose between sports and essentials.
Endless Admin
Coaches and team managers spend hours every week chasing payments, tracking spreadsheets, and handling cash.
Kids Left Out
Financial stress leads to kids sitting out. The child who loves the game is the one who pays the price.
What We Are Building
We are building NextPlay because we are parents who know the stress of registration season. We know what it feels like to see a child light up on the field, and to quietly worry about how to pay for it. Every feature we create starts with one question: does this make it easier for a parent to say yes to their kid?
For organizations, it means less admin work, faster collections, and a dashboard that shows everything at a glance. For families, it means rewards on everyday spending that add up to real savings for their kids sports.
No hidden fees. No catch. Just a tool that helps communities thrive.
What We Stand For
These are the principles that guide every decision we make.
Family First
We're building this because we are parents. Our own kids play sports. We know what it feels like when a season starts and the budget gets tight.
Trust & Transparency
No hidden fees, no fine print. We believe families deserve to know exactly what they are getting — and exactly what they are not paying for.
Community Strong
Youth sports are about more than the game. They are about connection, growth, and belonging. We are here to keep communities together.
Built for Impact
Every feature we ship has one goal: make it easier for a kid to step onto the field. If it does not serve that goal, it does not ship.
