For competitive academies & clubs · One platform, one player record

Turn your coaching into the reason
families never leave.

Every week, every family sees their kid getting better — from a report your coaches build in 30 seconds. That’s what makes families re-enroll. The whole club stack — scheduling, dues and payments, roster, your club website — comes with it, one login.

The shift

Be the academy families
leave the other one for.

One club sends a development report every family opens on Sunday. The other sends an end-of-season showcase and hopes. Families don’t switch to the one that hopes.

Built with the founding cohort of competitive academies and clubs

The status quo

Manual. End-of-season. Generic.

  • Coaches write reports the night before parent meetings — or never. Five hours per team, twice a season.
  • Directors stitch reports from group texts and Word docs — every cycle, from scratch.
  • Families get schedules and standings. Development is invisible until tryouts.
  • Renewal becomes defensive — “what did my kid actually get for $4,200?”

  • Every family gets a polished development report — every week, every player.
  • Renewal becomes celebratory. The reports do the talking before you pick up the phone.

Cancel the five apps
your families never open.

A chat tool, a form builder, a scheduler, a payment link, and a spreadsheet holding it together — you pay for all five, your families open none of them. Vimasu runs the whole club in one login, and becomes the one app your families actually open — because it’s the only one with their kid inside it.

Your website builds itself
from the season you’re already running.

Every club has a site a volunteer stopped updating two seasons ago — old roster, dead schedule, a registration link that goes nowhere. Vimasu renders your public site from the teams, staff, programs and schedule already in the system, so it can’t go stale. Registration and payment sit on the page, not in a form somewhere else.

3 dimensions to rate

This is one of three taps your coaches will do per player. Multiplied by every session.

How it works

Your coaches do thirty seconds.
The Sunday Report does the rest.

Three taps on the sideline — a rating, a strength, a focus. It drafts the report in your program’s voice, you approve it, families read it Sunday morning. No exporting, no second login, no coach ever asking “how do I use this.”

01 · Coach taps

Three ratings. Two notes.

On the sideline, in the locker room, or after dinner. Mobile-first. Under thirty seconds per player.

02 · Director reviews

Edit. Approve. Send.

Reports draft in your program’s voice — never auto-sent. Editorial control before anything reaches families.

03 · Family receives

Sunday morning, every week.

A polished development report — strength, focus, and what to encourage at home. The visibility families pay for.

Every week · Every player · Every family · Without an hour of coach admin

The product

The report a parent screenshots
and sends to grandma.

Not a stat dump — a short, specific story about their kid: what they did well this week, what they’re working on next. Parents forward it. That’s the product doing your marketing.

Strength this week

Strong first touch and calmness on the ball under pressure in 1v1 situations. Held possession through three consecutive defensive sequences in the second half.

Focus for next week

Improving receiving angles when checking back to the ball — particularly off the back line during build-up phases.

Coach's note

“Real composure tonight. Encourage at home to keep that body language — it lifts the whole back line.”

We import your team list from TeamSnap (or CSV), stand up your director and coach accounts, and run a 20-minute briefing call before the weekend’s sessions.

Saturday

Coaches rate from the sideline.

During or after Saturday matches and training, coaches log first ratings — three taps per player, under thirty seconds each, from any phone. AI drafts the reports in your program’s voice.

Sunday

First reports in family inboxes.

You review and approve Sunday morning. Director-signed development reports land in every family’s inbox before the next week starts. Renewal conversations change immediately.

Onboarding is white-glove and included in the price.
No setup fees. No professional services upsell. No second weekend before reports go out.

Founder, Vimasu

Founder's note

Why we built this — and why a generic vendor never will.

I've spent many years close to youth sports development — watching the same gap show up in club after club, academy after academy: families paying thousands per season and getting game schedules in return. Coaches know the players are growing. They just have no scalable way to make that growth visible.

Vimasu is what happens when you take the way coaches already think about players — sport by sport, framework by framework — and turn every session into something families can actually see. Then clubs asked us to run the rest — scheduling, payments, registration, chat — so that record would stop living in a sixth disconnected app, and Vimasu became the system the whole club runs on. We started in soccer, but the same engine now runs for hockey, basketball, baseball, volleyball, tennis, wrestling, swimming — 27 sports and counting. Each one in its own coaching language, not a soccer template with the words swapped. If you take development seriously, in any sport, you should be using it.

Every tool you’ve tried is a graveyard of logins your coaches abandoned by week three. This one speaks your sport — so a coach rates in the words they already think in, not a soccer template with the words swapped. Adoption isn’t a hope you’re paying for. It’s the design.

The compounding moat

Every season you use it,
leaving costs your families more.

By a kid’s third season it’s a full record — every rating, every report, the week the weak foot finally clicked. A family leaving means abandoning all of it. Nobody walks away from their child’s history.

A record no group text, end-of-season form, or rival vendor can reconstruct

Team apps stop at logistics. Vimasu runs the club — and owns the development layer they can’t.

Why it can’t be shortcut

Hard for a generic team-management vendor to catch up to.

01

Sport-native across 27 sports.

Built around the framework your coaches already think in — Technique · Game IQ · Mindset in soccer, Skating · Skills · Hockey Sense in hockey, Takedowns · Mat IQ · Conditioning in wrestling, each in its own language. Generic vendors face years of sport-specific R&D to reach parity in even one vertical — we have depth in dozens.

02

Editorial workflow, not auto-send firehose.

Every report passes a director before it reaches a family. Competitors building auto-AI lose trust on the first hallucinated note. We don’t.

03

One system, not another tool in the stack.

Chat, registration, waivers, scheduling, payments and 1:1 booking — clubs cancel the patchwork one tool at a time. Vendors selling a single point feature can’t answer a platform that already holds the development record.

04

Voice-matched AI, not generic LLM output.

Reports sound like your program — terminology, tone, framework. A copy-paste generic AI competitor produces output families immediately recognise as filler.

Host the tournament.
Keep every player’s record.

Run brackets and group stages with live standings and public pages — no GotSport, no TourneyMachine, no bracket spreadsheet. And because visiting clubs enter through Vimasu, every box score lands in a player record. Your event becomes a doorway into the platform for clubs that haven’t joined yet.

Communication and progress visibility — top unmet expectation in youth sports

Source · Aspen Institute · Project Play

The market exists. The competitive academies and clubs exist. The families willing to pay for visibility already pay for everything else. The layer is missing.

Who it's built for

Built for academies serious
about development.

If all you need is a schedule and a group chat, you don’t need us — and we’ll tell you so. Vimasu is for programs that compete on how well their players develop, and want families to see it.

Regional academy

80–250 players · 6–14 teams

Scaling family communication beyond what TeamSnap and group texts can carry. Differentiating against the competing program two zip codes over.

Why now

Renewal pressure mounting · Parents asking for more visibility

Training club

1–3 sites · skills-development focus

Premium pricing requires premium visibility. Families paying $300/month for skills training need to see why every week — not just at the end-of-season showcase.

Why now

Premium positioning · Differentiation is the wedge

Elite pathway program

Showcase · academy · college-recruiting tier

Pathway-track families — ECNL and MLS NEXT, AAU and prep, AAA and junior, showcase ball — compare your reporting to what college recruiters expect. Structured weekly development is table stakes at this tier, not a bonus.

Why now

Recruiter-aware families · Structured pathway expectations

Multi-sport academy

2+ sports · Cross-pathway program

One development OS across hockey, basketball, soccer, lacrosse — whatever your program runs. Unified family-communication standard, sport-specific frameworks underneath.

Why now

Multiple sports · One brand standard · Unified ops

Not sure if you're a fit? — we'll tell you honestly if Vimasu makes sense for your program.

Pricing

It costs less than one family’s dues.
It keeps more than one.

Priced by active players — never a seat you’re not using. Start free; the player record is free forever. Do the math a director does: it pays for itself the first season it saves a single family.

Procurement

The questions your board
is going to ask anyway.

Which sports does Vimasu support?

27 and counting — soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, football, hockey, volleyball, lacrosse, tennis, golf, swimming, track & field, wrestling, martial arts, gymnastics, cheer and more, spanning team, racquet, individual, combat and aquatic sports. Each ships with its own development framework in that sport’s coaching language (Technique · Game IQ · Mindset in soccer, Skating · Skills · Hockey Sense in hockey, Takedowns · Mat IQ · Conditioning in wrestling) — not a soccer template with the words swapped. Custom rubrics let you define your own dimensions entirely. Don’t see your sport on the list? We ship new ones with a custom framework, white-glove.

Does this replace TeamSnap or our existing club software?

Yes — that’s the point. Scheduling, RSVPs, roster & family CRM, payments, game recaps, chat, registration and waivers all live in Vimasu, so clubs cancel the patchwork one tool at a time (10 categories live today, 8 more in beta). To make switching painless we import from TeamSnap, so coaches never enter data twice during the move. The reason clubs make the switch isn’t the consolidation, though — it’s the one thing no point tool has underneath: a permanent development record for every player.

Will our coaches actually use it?

Three taps per player — under thirty seconds each. Most coaches finish a full roster in under ten minutes from their phone. The format matches how coaches already think in their sport’s dimensions — so adoption isn’t a behaviour-change project.

What about COPPA and family data privacy?

Player photos are opt-in, never used for ML training, never shared cross-organization, never used in marketing without explicit per-parent consent. Hard-coded into the upload pipeline and database row-level security. We treat it like medical data.

What if our program uses a different development framework?

Custom rubrics are first-class. Every sport ships with a sport-specific default you can use as-is or fork — or define your own dimensions, weights, and rating scale entirely. The AI drafting adapts to whatever framework you set, so the reports always sound like your program in your sport.

How long does onboarding take?

Roster import + coach briefing + first reports sent inside one week. White-glove onboarding is included on every tier — not a separate professional-services upsell.

I’m a coach without a club or academy yet — can I still use Vimasu?

Yes — Coach Free is open. Solo coaches get one team and up to twenty players for free, forever. Use it for your team, build a track record of structured weekly reports parents love, then bring it to your director when you’re ready. The whole program upgrades together — you keep your data and your players seamlessly. Create your free coach account any time.

What happens if we cancel?

Export everything in CSV + PDF. No data hostage situations. 30-day money-back guarantee on the first month if Vimasu isn’t a fit.

Still on the fence? with your roster on screen.

Start now

First report sent

The families deciding whether to come back are deciding right now — send them a reason this Sunday. We import your roster and brief your first coach, the record’s free, your whole club is $1. If your coaches aren’t using it in 14 days, you don’t pay.
