We built RosterPay because we kept seeing the same thing happen: a talented kid sitting out an entire travel season because their family couldn't swing $1,000 all at once.
Travel sports are expensive. The average family spends $2,500–$20,000 per year on travel baseball, soccer, basketball, and other competitive programs. A single season can cost $500 to $2,000 — and most organizations require full payment upfront.
The result? Families who can't come up with a lump sum drop out. Coaches scramble to fill roster spots last-minute. Teams play shorthanded. And talented kids — who absolutely have the ability and drive — miss out simply because of cash flow.
It's a solvable problem. The technology to split payments into installments has existed for years. But no one had built it specifically for youth sports teams.
RosterPay gives coaches and team directors the tools to offer payment plans — 3, 4, or 5 automatic installments — without any extra administrative work. Families enroll, choose their plan, and payments collect automatically. Coaches see a real-time dashboard showing exactly who's cleared to play.
We made it free for organizations because we believe the incentive should be to get kids enrolled, not to extract fees from already-stretched sports budgets. Families pay a small processing fee when they make a payment — similar to what they'd pay on any other platform, just with far more flexibility.
Keep kids on the field by making payment friction a non-issue for travel sports families.
We measure success by roster completion rates. When coaches using RosterPay go from 70% collection to 95%+, that means more kids are playing. That's the whole point.
Payment plans aren't charity — they're good business. Families who can spread payments are more likely to stay enrolled and more likely to come back next season.
The best coaches we've met hate chasing payments. They signed up to develop athletes, not manage accounts receivable. We take that off their plate.
No hidden fees. No bait-and-switch. Organizations pay nothing. Families see exactly what they'll pay before they confirm. That's it.
