Built for Travel Hockey Organizations
Travel hockey is one of the most expensive youth sports. A full season — including ice fees, league registration, tournament entry fees, equipment costs, and travel — can run $2,500–$5,000+ per player per year. When you demand the full amount upfront in September, families drop out. When you use informal payment methods like Venmo, you spend hours chasing money instead of coaching hockey.
RosterPay handles the collection problem for travel hockey organizations. Set your season fee, offer installment plans, and let the system handle billing and reminders. You keep focus on the sport.
What RosterPay is NOT
RosterPay is not a team management platform. It does not include scheduling, game communication, or stats tracking. It is a specialized payment collection tool for dues, fees, and installment billing. Use your existing tools for scheduling — use RosterPay for payment collection.
The Travel Hockey Payment Problem
Ice time is the biggest cost — and you're juggling fees constantly
Weekly ice time fees, tournament travel costs, equipment fees, league registration — each one is a separate payment. Managing 50+ players across multiple fee types without a system is chaos.
Upfront season fees eliminate families who can afford hockey
Families who can comfortably pay $300/month over 10 months can't swing $3,000 in September. So they don't sign up. Your roster is never full, and you're leaving money on the table.
Tracking payments across Venmo and check deposits is unsustainable
Some parents pay by check. Some by Venmo. Some promise to pay later. Reconciling all of this against a spreadsheet — then figuring out who is cleared to play game day — is exhausting.
No way to know who can play before the tournament
You're five minutes before the tournament bus leaves, and you still don't have a definitive list of who has paid. That's not acceptable. You need to know before players get on the bus.
How RosterPay Works for Travel Hockey
Create your season with all fees
Set your total season fee (ice time, league, travel, all-in). Offer 3–6 installment options. Generate a shareable enrollment link. All done in under 5 minutes.
Parents enroll and choose their payment plan
They click the link, select their installment option (e.g., 6 payments of $500 instead of $3,000 upfront), and provide their payment method. Automatic billing begins.
See who is cleared to play anytime
Your cleared-to-play dashboard shows green (paid), yellow (on plan), or red (overdue) for every player — updated in real time. Before tournament day, you have your final roster.
Travel Hockey Fee Example
U18 travel hockey · 18 players · $3,000 season fee per player · 6 installments of $500 each
Without RosterPay
- 6–10 hours per month managing payments across Venmo, checks, and cash
- 3–5 players lost per season due to lump-sum payment barrier
- Spreadsheet cross-referencing before every tournament
- No way to automate follow-ups — you chase payments manually
With RosterPay
- Under 30 minutes per month — platform handles all billing
- Full roster — installments remove upfront payment barrier
- Cleared-to-play dashboard: green/yellow/red before every tournament
- Automatic reminders — families remember to pay on schedule
Cost: RosterPay is $0 per month for your organization. For 18 players at $3,000/season, that's $54,000 in revenue collected with no platform fee. Families pay a small processing fee on their installment payments.
