LeagueLineup vs sportsYou

LeagueLineup provides websites and team or league management tools for youth and amateur sports organizations. Each site includes free online registration forms, while teams can publish game and practice schedules, calendars, and special events. The service offers unlimited photo albums and team and player statistics for baseball, basketball, football, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, and volleyball. Online registration can use optional payment processing. Free websites are supported by sponsors; the Go Pro upgrade adds text alerts, email blasts, additional disk space, ad removal, and a custom site header. My LeagueLineup lets users bookmark sites and receive schedule reminders, and parents can combine schedules from multiple LeagueLineup sites. Schedule pages can be subscribed to through calendar programs such as Google Calendar or Outlook. LeagueLineup supports Android, iOS, and web, and the product page states there are no setup or activation fees and no contracts. It was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Plano, Texas.
