About InSeasonHQ

Built by somebody who has run your registration.

InSeasonHQ was built by Scott Christenson — a youth baseball travel director and association board member who spent years running seasons on SportsEngine, the platform most associations end up on.

You probably know the shape of those years. Registration lived in one place, the schedule in another, volunteer hours in a spreadsheet somebody's spouse maintained, and the money in a fourth place that never quite matched the first three. The work landed where it always lands: Sunday nights, after the games, reconciling who had paid, who still owed volunteer hours, and which families had never answered the roster email. None of it was one big failure. It was fifty small ones, every week, for twelve weeks a year.

So he built the tool he needed: one place where the season actually happens — registration and payments, teams and roster offers, schedules, volunteers, and family communication — designed for the people who run youth sports in the margins of their actual jobs.

InSeasonHQ is a small company. Scott's business partner — a youth baseball academy owner whose own programs run on the platform — is the other half of it. That's the whole org chart, and it's deliberate: the people who build this answer for it.

Who runs it

  • Scott Christenson — founder. Travel director, board member, and the person who will walk your site before your demo, set up your organization with you, and answer your support email. He built InSeasonHQ after years of administering seasons on somebody else's software.
  • His business partner. Co-owner, and a customer before he was anything else here: his academy runs its programs on InSeasonHQ, which means the platform gets used hard by somebody with Scott's phone number.

What it is

Season management for youth sports organizations: registration and payments with one checkout per family, teams and roster offers, schedules that sync to family calendars with RSVP, email and text, volunteer shifts and buyouts through Volunteering, equipment inventory, a store, check-in and punch passes at the door, reports your treasurer can export to QuickBooks, and — for facilities — classes, lessons and rentals. One flat $750 a year, unlimited registrations and admins, priced in public on the pricing page.

What it isn't

Not a media company. The biggest names in youth sports software are owned by media companies; their platform is an audience and the season is inventory. We charge for software instead. No ads. No tracking. No selling family data — it's in the Privacy Policy and the Children's Privacy Notice, in writing, not just on this page.

Not a lock-in. Export your data and leave whenever you want. Your Stripe account is yours and stays with you.

Not everything. No live scoring, stats or game video — most clubs run a scoring app alongside, and we don't try to duplicate it. Tryout evaluation scoring and tournament brackets are coming, not live, and the features page and pricing page say so where they sit.

Not a call center. See below — that's the good news, not the bad.

How support works

You email a person who has run a season, not a ticket queue far away.

  • support@inseasonhq.com — product questions, problems, "how do I…" from admins, registrars, treasurers and coaches.
  • scott@inseasonhq.com — sales and switching questions, or anything you'd rather ask the founder directly. For most organizations, the demo, the setup and the support are the same conversation with the same person.
  • Setup is done with you, in an afternoon: we import your families, open a registration, and stay until your board has seen it work. The first 30 days are free, no card required.
  • If something is broken during your registration window or on a game day, say so in the subject line. We know what those days are; we've run them.
