LeagueApps has raised $35.0M in total across 3 funding rounds.
LeagueApps provides an integrated technology and community platform for youth and local sports organizers. Its core product functions as an operating system, streamlining tasks like registration, scheduling, and communication. This solution empowers organizers to manage programs, fostering a connected ecosystem that enhances the sports experience.
Co-founded in 2010 by Brian Litvack and Evan Brandoff, the company emerged from a deep understanding of youth sports. CEO Brian Litvack leveraged prior experience at Sportsvite, gaining insights into the sector's unique challenges and community needs. This background directly inspired the co-founders to build their management solution.
LeagueApps serves youth and local sports organizations, offering tools for administration and growth. Its vision is to democratize youth sports, ensuring broader access to quality experiences. By empowering program leaders, the company strives to cultivate vibrant, accessible, and inclusive communities.
LeagueApps is a comprehensive youth sports management platform that provides software tools for registration, payments, scheduling, communications, and reporting to clubs, camps, tournaments, and leagues.[1][2][6] It serves youth sports organizations, reaching millions of participants, coaches, and families across sports like baseball, basketball, soccer, and more, solving operational inefficiencies to make sports more accessible and impactful.[1][2][3] With strong growth momentum—having raised $24.2M, powered thousands of organizations, processed billions in payments, and earned recognitions like Deloitte's Fast 500—LeagueApps combines tech with social impact via programs like FundPlay, which supports underserved communities.[2][3][4]
LeagueApps was founded in 2010 by CEO Brian Litvack and CTO Steve Parker, both with prior experience at Sportsvite, where they identified key needs in youth sports communities.[1][5] Litvack started his career at College Sports Television and CBS College Sports, while Parker, holding a BS in Computer Science from the University of Virginia, brought expertise in product strategy and software engineering from OpenEvolve Inc.[5] Early traction came from investments in 2014-2015 by Major League Baseball, Elysian Park Ventures, and athletes like Dhani Jones, David Robinson, and Shane Battier, fueling expansion.[3][4] Pivotal moments include launching FundPlay in 2016 for equity in sports access, recognition as a Project Play Champion in 2019, and leading the PLAY Sports Coalition in 2020 amid COVID-19 challenges.[1][4]
LeagueApps rides the digitization wave in youth sports, a $19B+ U.S. industry fragmented by manual processes, enabling scalable operations amid rising participation post-COVID.[2][4] Timing aligns with increased focus on equity and access, amplified by pandemic disruptions that highlighted tech needs; their advocacy unlocked millions in funding via PLAY Coalition.[1][4] Market forces like parental demands for seamless experiences and pro leagues' youth outreach favor them, powering programs for MLB and others while influencing the ecosystem through leader development and accessibility initiatives.[2][3]
LeagueApps is poised to expand its platform with more data-driven tools and AI enhancements, targeting further revenue growth for users and scaling FundPlay's impact beyond 500,000 experiences.[2][6] Trends like personalized sports tech, hybrid virtual/in-person events, and federal youth sports funding will shape its path, potentially deepening integrations with pro leagues.[1][4] Its influence may evolve from operator to industry standard-setter, blending tech obsession with mission-driven equity to unite more communities through sports.[3][5]
