League Builder
League Builder helps recreational and amateur sports administrators create a league website and manage a season. Administrators can publish schedules, enter scores and scoresheet details, and have standings and player statistics update automatically. Players can register through a league site; administrators can approve registrations, assign teams, and manage rosters. The listed live sports are hockey, soccer, basketball, baseball, and softball. Sites adapt to mobile screens and can use themes, colors, logos, and custom pages, although some options depend on the plan. Communication tools include news, contact forms, polls, email, forums, and game comments, with availability varying by plan. Historical Import accepts spreadsheets of past seasons, teams, final tables, and player stats, and imports can be undone. The Free plan supports 8 teams and 200 players; Starter Pro supports 12 teams and 500 players. Paid plans start at $19 a month, and the listed Starter Pro plan is billed $199/yr. Paid plans include a 30-day free trial with no card required to start. There is no native app.
