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.

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 management all in one place

Sport Connect has helped us spend less time managing our program so that we can devote more time to providing sports opportunities to the youth in our area.

PROS

The ability to easily build teams and assign coaches to those teams. The ability to export information to Excel to ease budget preparation.

CONS

Building new custom reports has become slightly more difficult with recent changes to the software

Reason for choosing Sports Connect

Ease of use and abundance of features that our program needed

Reasons for switching to Sports Connect

Sports Connect (then Blue Sombrero) was a better value and easier to use.
