Behind every line item in the table is a real Saturday-morning problem. The legacy platforms were built before modern AI — OSN was built on top of it. Here's what changes when you switch.
OSN was designed mobile-first from day one. Most legacy platforms are desktop apps with a phone wrapper bolted on top.
Reg, gear, gift cards, and donations all hit the same checkout, the same payout, and the same reconciliation report.
Birth certificates verified by AI in under three seconds. Save admins six hours per division per season.
The only solver that respects friend requests, coach picks, sibling pairings, and carpool constraints together.
Per-team jerseys with names, numbers, and colorways — not a Google Form linked to a CafePress page.
No subscription. Per-registration fees only. Free programs are free. Run a one-off camp and pay only for sign-ups.
Built by a team that ran rec leagues themselves. Every feature comes from a real Saturday-morning workflow.
White-glove import from any of the legacy platforms. Bring your players and parents — we’ll handle the rest from there.
One inbox, one team, real humans. Not "support@subbrand.parentcompany.helpscout.zendesk.io".
Profit-sharing on merch and premium upcharges. Real-time dashboard, monthly ACH, volume-tiered. The only program of its kind in youth sports.
“We saved twelve hours a season on registration alone. One cart for regs, gear, and gift cards changed how parents pay us — and how we close the books.”
