# Youth sports registration for clubs, leagues and teams

Source: https://backpr.com/use-cases/youth-sports-registration. Last updated: 2026-11-12.

A season starts with hundreds of sign-ups in a few weeks. BackPR sorts players by age, grade or gender, collects fees and waivers, and keeps every family's details for next season.

Made for: Youth sports clubs, recreational leagues, travel teams and tournaments.

## How it works
1. **Open the season.** Copy last season's programs with season rollover, set age, grade and gender rules, and capacity per division.
2. **Register players and teams.** Individual players register in a few taps. Group and team registration and access codes cover teams that sign up together or private divisions.
3. **Collect fees your way.** Full payment or installments, sibling discounts, scholarships and financial aid, and donations at checkout.
4. **Collect forms once.** Waivers, medical information and emergency contacts are saved in the family account and re-confirmed each season.
5. **Keep families informed.** Email and push messages to a team, a division or the whole club, with message templates and scheduled messages.

## Questions
**Can a coach register a whole team?**
Yes. Group and team registration lets a team sign up together, and access codes keep a division private.

**Can we offer scholarships?**
Yes. Scholarships and financial aid, sliding-scale pricing and family credits are included. See [subsidized programs](/use-cases/subsidized-programs).

Nothing if your organization joins BackPR by 31 January 2027: it is free forever, with every feature. Verified nonprofits are always free. Card payments are processed by Stripe at its standard rates, and BackPR adds no fee to what families pay. See [pricing](/pricing).
