— Coexist with GotSport
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.

— Why your registrar is unhappy
Every quote below is from a real customer review on Capterra, G2, Trustpilot, BBB, or App Store. Sourced and dated.
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.
“Eleven days of partial outage during the most important week of our registration calendar. We had to extend deadlines and explain to 1,200 families why their payment wouldn't go through.”
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.
“I can't get notifications to work, the schedule shows the wrong time zone, and half the time the app just won't load my kid's team. We use email instead.”
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.
“Every refund means three logins — the platform, the processor, and our accounting. The platform fee is gone forever even though we refunded the family in full.”
— How EZ Event Registration is different
These aren't features GotSport could add next sprint. They require schema-level, processor-level, and ownership-level choices baked in from day one.
/ 01
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.
/ 02
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.
/ 03
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.
/ 04
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.
— Switch from GotSport
Move registration, payments, parent comms, and the mobile experience to EZ Event Registration. Cut your GotSport surface area down to only what your state association actually requires. Coexist, don't fight.
