CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Sprocket Sports, a leading provider of software and services for youth sports club management, announced today the close of a Series A investment round from Frontier Growth, a Charlotte-based growth equity firm specializing in vertical SaaS companies.

Launched in 2020, Sprocket Sports has quickly emerged as the leading newcomer in the crowded marketplace of youth sports club technology. The company couples its all-in-one management and marketing platform with an experienced and responsive support team to help youth sports clubs thrive – not just survive – in the increasingly competitive youth sports landscape. In addition to player registrations and payments, Sprocket Sports offers fully integrated websites, administrative and financial tools, communication modules, a modern mobile app, and more.

“I am thrilled that Frontier Growth has become Sprocket’s partner to provide minority growth capital and value-add services,” says Rich Gallun, Co-Founder & CEO of Sprocket Sports. “After five years of building a great foundation with leading technology and a strong client base, we are excited to welcome the Frontier team as a trusted partner to help us take Sprocket to the next level without compromising our original mission and values. Their unique approach of providing value as consultative investors, or ‘invited house guests,’ rather than as controlling financial owners was exactly what our experienced Sprocket team was seeking.”

With the recent consolidation and buyouts of numerous technology players, Sprocket Sports is the sole independent modern player in the club management software space to remain founder-led and founder-controlled. With additional capital to accelerate investment across its product suite and sales and service teams, Sprocket will continue to enhance its ability to help youth sports organizations drive growth and realize operational efficiencies while delivering a best-in-class experience for their member families.

“We are excited to partner with Sprocket Sports, a company whose deep industry expertise and technology leadership are redefining the category,” says Tim Bechtold, Partner at Frontier Growth. “We see a significant opportunity for Sprocket’s modern, all-in-one platform to replace many of the dated and fragmented tools that currently exist in the youth sports marketplace and enable their club customers to take their programming and day-to-day operations to the next level. After conducting extensive research with Sprocket’s customers and leadership team, we are impressed by Sprocket’s exemplary reputation for product innovation and world-class customer service and its position as the leading modern technology solution for youth sports clubs.”
