People are spending an average of 4.8 hours a day on their mobile phones, according to a recent study done by data.ai. That’s almost half the hours that most people are awake! More specifically, data.ai reports that average mobile app usage is up 30% since 2019.

The good news is, the parents and players that you want to engage season after season are included in that statistic, as well as the people you want to join your organization. So, you know where and how to engage with them—on a youth sports mobile app.

The hardest part is choosing a mobile app because there are so many out there that do a lot of similar things. But, there’s only one choice that will make your coaches’ lives easier with the functionality you’ve been missing—like messaging, event management, rostering and scheduling, and more.

So you don’t have to do the digging and reading and researching about the best youth sports mobile apps out there, we’ve laid out a competitive analysis illustrating how LeagueApps Play stacks up against some of the other top youth sports mobile apps.
