Our Story
Sprocket Sports emerged from a couple of well-intentioned dads who volunteered as Board members for their kids’ soccer club. The two parents were attempting to update the club’s cumbersome website to attract new players, streamline the registration process, and improve profitability. As it happened, that task wasn’t so easy. The inflexibility and inefficiency of the club’s multiple outdated, fragmented and expensive systems brought them to their wit’s end. They knew that there had to be a better way. Thus, the idea for Sprocket Sports was born.
Fortuitously, soccer dad Rich Gallun’s experience as a tech entrepreneur in employee benefits administration made him perfectly suited for the undertaking. It turns out that signing your kid up for a soccer team is very similar to enrolling in health insurance – at first glance, it seems easy, but it is actually riddled with complexities. Rich teamed up with former colleague Brett Baker and the two founded the company in 2019. Together with a number of former teammates as well as some new faces, the team is hard at work building the most advanced youth sports platform on earth. And now, their pain is your gain.
