Travel ball, select teams and club organizations

Travel ball, from tryouts to the last tournament.

A travel team is a small business run by a coach and one very organized parent: tryouts, a team fee that covers tournaments and uniforms, fundraising to bring that fee down, and a summer of weekends away. Team Scout runs all of it from one account.

Sound familiar?

The team fee comes in by Venmo in pieces, and the team mom keeps the ledger on her phone.

Tournament schedules come out Thursday night and change Saturday morning.

Fundraising sites take a cut of every dollar raised for the kids.

What Team Scout does about it

Team fees in installments

A registration form with a payment plan on dates you choose, cards charged on schedule, and a balance for every family. The money goes straight to the team's bank account, and the financial dashboard lists who is past due.

A calendar families subscribe to

Tournaments, practices and pool play on one calendar that lands on every family's own phone. Move a game and it moves everywhere, with a notification. Free.

Fundraising at 0%

Fundraisers cost the team nothing, and donors can add an optional tip. Money a player raises can become credit on that family's fee, applied at checkout.

When to start: Most travel programs hold tryouts in late summer or fall for the next spring and summer, so the team fee and its payment plan should be ready on tryout day.

Questions travel baseball and softball teams ask

Can an organization run several age-group teams?

Yes. One organization, a group per team. The free plan allows 50 groups and 2,500 people per organization.

Does Team Scout keep stats or run tournament brackets?

No. Stats and brackets stay where they are today. Team Scout runs the team around them: fees, calendar, groups, volunteers and fundraising.

How to run registration and collect fees without chasing parents

Chasing is a design problem, not a people problem. Put the payment plan, the reminders and the policy on the form, and most of the follow-up happens without you. This guide covers installments, autopay, reminders, failed payments, cash and checks, refunds and family credits.
