Great product for our special needs little league

PROS

It allows us to collect information for both players and volunteers in one area. The ease of use to update players information from an admin standpoint is super easy as well. Exporting of spreadsheets is simple and thorough. Best is it's free to us.

CONS

Designing the website site is very clunky and not as user friendly as it should be. You can also only attach one file to a bulk email which is annoying.

AYSO administration

Its ok to handle a smaller organization but with a National organziation that is ever evolving and numerous new users daily, there is too much that needs adjusting based on needs of individual regions.

PROS

The aspect and options for the registration process is great. Easy to manage and create. Visually appealing and we love that information is stored as needed and other information is deleted for privacy purposes.

CONS

Website is hard to manage when creating bulk emails. The edit function needs tremendous attention on functionality when trying to fromat simple templates. Also when creating teams and submitting to our sister peogram affinity sports. There is a huge disconnect with certifications not transferring or other missing information.

Blue sombrero is counter-intuitive, hard to use, very inconvenient

painful experience

PROS

Its free. You can manage your registration and payment through the site, but so does everyone else. Nothing else stands out about this software vs anything else.

CONS

You cannot login from the www.bluesombrero.com home page...why not? Once you find a login screen (literally have to google it or search your email), there is not one login screen for all users - you literally have to find the EXACT URL for each team or organization you want to login to...seriously? Not only that, but you can't login and see all of the different teams your kids play on. Each team is a completely different URL to login! This is so inconvenient and bad design, its crazy. You cannot use the same username across the different logins/teams. So now I have to have 3 different usernames for 3 different teams...all using the same application (blue sombrero?). Isn't this is what SaaS applications were supposed to solve? The mobile app does NOT integrate to your iPhone calendar...very inconvenient! And feels like they are always trying to sell you on "the next program". These sites are meant for parents to help manage their kids sports - stop selling me anything! I will pay you not to sell me anything. My complaints here are very reasonable because almost all other sports applications have these features. Sites like TeamSnap are built to make your life easy. Blue Sombrero makes your life much harder. Every parent dreads if they get a team invite from blue sombrero. I do not recommend it.

Sports Connect is Superb

From beginning to now, Sports Connect has continued to grow with us. Helps each step of the way through our registration process and beyond. In particular, [sensitive content hidden] has treated our company like it matters and that she is personally invested in our success.

PROS

They take our ideas, our needs and our problems and address each one. They give us a product that functions smoothly and give us the support that creates a seamless flow between our company and Sports Connect.

CONS

Honestly, I have nothing to put here. Absolutely nothing.
