From $29 a monthAbout Team Scout
Youth sports, run from one place.
Team Scout puts everything a program runs in one place: messages, the calendar, registration, payments, volunteers and your website. We started it in Kansas City because the tools out there were built for administrators, not families, so we built one that works for both.
Our Mission
Youth sports programs need tools that work as hard as their coaches, parents and players do.
We build software that makes the moments between the games (announcements, photos, schedules, check-ins) feel simple and joyful instead of chaotic.
We serve homeschool, private, club, and community youth sports organizations. We don't sell your data. We respect your privacy. We don't put ads in your feed. No pretending a spreadsheet is an experience. Just tools that work, built by people who have actually worked the concession stand.

Why Team Scout
“I could have stayed in corporate. By my early 30s, I was a VP at UnitedHealth Group, in the top 150 executives of a Fortune 25 company. The trajectory was clear: keep climbing, keep collecting titles, retire comfortably.”
“Instead, I built an agency. That turned into a social platform. That created a TV show. The Jump led to two more focused ventures: Creatorspace and Team Scout, a comprehensive platform for youth sports programs.”
“I can't stop seeing problems that should be solved. I watch coaches struggle with platforms that look like they were built in 2008 and I think: this should be better.”
Peter McClung, Why I Keep Building Platforms
Built for youth sports. Fits any program that runs like a team.
Groups, schedules, registration, payments, and the people who volunteer to make it all happen: that is a football program, and it is also a theater company, a homeschool co-op, and a church youth ministry. Your program uses its own words. An admin renames member roles and event types once, under Brand Identity then Vocabulary, and the new labels show up across the app, registration forms, and your public site.
| Team Scout default | Theater | School co-op | Faith community |
|---|---|---|---|
| Player | Actor | Student | Member |
| Practice | Rehearsal | Class | Service |
| Coach | Stage manager | Teacher | Small-group leader |
| Director | Director | Program director | Pastor |
| Tryout | Casting | Welcome day | Program kickoff |
Theater, school co-op, and faith community shown as examples. Your program writes its own labels.
Team Scout is independent
We're parents, players and coaches. We built Team Scout for the families who live on it and the coaches and volunteers who run it: the team feed, the photos between games, and the moments that make a program feel like a team.
SportsEngine has changed hands three times in a decade and now belongs to PlayMetrics. Team Scout answers to the coaches, parents and programs who use it, and the people who build the software are the people who pick up the phone.

“Peter is the rare combination of strategic thinker and hands-on executor. He sees the big picture while obsessing over the details that matter.”
