Switching from SportsEngine to TeamLinkt: Why CYBSA Made the Move - and Why You Should Too

The Centennial Youth Baseball-Softball Association (CYBSA) is committed to providing young athletes in Colorado with a positive sports experience. However, as their league grew to over 1,000 members, managing operations became increasingly complex. They needed a sports management platform that could simplify registration, streamline communication, and enhance the overall experience for administrators, coaches, and parents.

Overview

The Challenge: SportsEngine Wasn’t Working

Before switching to TeamLinkt, CYBSA used SportsEngine but encountered major issues that held them back:

Lack of Control – Inability to set up registration and make basic customizations.
Poor Customer Support – Long response times and lack of hands-on assistance made problem resolution frustrating.
Clunky User Experience – The interface was unintuitive, leading to confusion for both administrators and families.
Limited Functionality – The platform and team management app didn’t fully meet the needs of their growing league, forcing workarounds, vendor clutter, and manual processes.

In search of a better solution, CYBSA explored alternatives like TeamSnap, and other platforms, but nothing quite fit - until they were referred to TeamLinkt.
