One of the best things about living in a big city like Chicago is that there are seemingly limitless sports leagues. I’ve only played volleyball so far, but I keep telling myself that I’ll do softball, dodgeball, and maybe even basketball. For a recent grad, sports leagues are a great way to meet new people and get in an exercise routine as you start your life in the real world. The one problem that I run into is that many of the leagues are disorganized and have terrible websites that are hard to navigate and use. LeagueApps is a New York, NY and Washington, DC based company that solves this problem through their “digital management and marketing solution for local sports leagues, tournaments and events.” It’s essentially a sports league in a box (a digital one at that).

You’re Not Out of Your League

While the most important thing for running a sports league is securing a field or gym, getting participants is a close second. LeagueApps’ software helps you to register teams, process payments, generate schedules, display standings, e-mail members, view analytics, and lots more. If you want to see how sports leagues are currently using the software, just take a look at LeagueApps’ Success Stories. The overarching message is that the software allows leagues to focus on the important stuff–the sports and the social–while leaving the administrative stuff to LeagueApps. If you don’t mind working on the administrative stuff (in a really fun, scalable way), then you should check out LeagueApps’s Jobs page. Their current openings include:

• Inbound Marketing Manager (New York, NY)
• Acquisition Manager (New York, NY)
• UI Designer – Part Time (Washington, DC / Remote)
• Product Manager (Washington, DC)
• Business Development Manager (New York, NY)

These look like really cool opportunities, and I’m sure if you land one you’ll also land a spot on one of LeagueApps’ sports teams.
