GotSport alternative
Looking for a GotSport alternative?
Your state association mandates GotSport for sanctioning, rostering, and player passes through 2030. We won't pretend that's leaving any time soon. What we WILL do is take everything parents and coaches actually hate — registration UX, payments, comms, mobile — off GotSport's surface area.If you've decided it's time to move, here's why clubs land on EZ Event Registration — and how a switch actually goes.
Why clubs leave GotSport
11-day outage during peak registration in February 2023
GotSport experienced a multi-day platform outage during peak spring registration in February 2023 — verifiable across multiple state association communications and forum threads. Clubs missed registration deadlines and absorbed the parent frustration.
Mobile app rated 1.71 / 5 on Google Play
GotSport's mobile app averages 1.71 stars on Google Play. Parents and coaches consistently report that communication features fail, requiring fallback to email — which the club has to set up itself.
Refund architecture offloads emotional labor onto clubs
GotSport's terms make the software fee non-refundable, parents are routed to clubs for any refund, and clubs reconcile across multiple processors when families pay through different channels. The platform does not absorb refund disputes.
What you get with EZ Event Registration instead
Mobile parent experience rated 1.71 on Google Play — parents fall back to email
Modern PWA-grade mobile parent experience. Push notifications that work. Schedule that respects time zones.
Software fee non-refundable; refunds are a multi-system reconciliation chore
Stripe Connect v2 marketplace lets you refund the family AND the platform fee in one click. No three-system reconciliation.
Registration UX hasn't been seriously updated in a decade
Drag-build any form. Conditional logic, COPPA-safe minor handling, parent-side fields that don't fight families.
Communication tools so weak clubs send their own email blasts anyway
Built-in segmented broadcasts. Per-event funnels. Parent comms that don't need a Mailchimp on the side.
