Technology Veteran to Lead Marketing

I'm excited to help Sprocket Sports become the technology leader in youth sports, as we did previously in employee benefits at bswift."

"My first priority at Sprocket is to help clubs better market themselves to increase revenue," adds Frutkin. "At Sprocket Sports, our marketing offerings are modern, bold and easy for customers to deploy. And as a 'soccer mom' myself, I can attest to the relevant messaging and simplicity of the platform. I love how easy it is to not only sign my kids up at the beginning of the season, but also to stay informed of club events, news, schedule changes and team communications. With Sprocket Sports, everything is right at my fingertips."
