TeamSnap marks a significant leap forward in its mission to democratize sports with the launch of cutting-edge training resources, post the strategic integration of MOJO Sports in 2023. Crafted in partnership with industry titans such as MLS, MLB, and FC Barcelona, this state-of-the-art asset seamlessly merges into the TeamSnap app. Offering a treasure trove of how-to videos, skill explainers, premium practice plans, 1-on-1 and team drills, and more, TeamSnap’s training content revolutionizes the playbook for youth sports coaches and parents alike.
By facilitating professional leagues to engage millions of families entrenched in youth sports, enhancing grassroots coaching, and igniting a fervent love for the game among young athletes, this groundbreaking launch underscores TeamSnap’s steadfast dedication to uniting the youth sports community.
“TeamSnap’s latest training content, crafted in conjunction with world-renowned sporting entities, sets a new benchmark for youth sports. We’re proud to offer it to the millions of coaches and parents already utilizing the TeamSnap app,” stated Peter Frintzilas, CEO of TeamSnap. “From inception, TeamSnap has been committed to equipping coaches and parents with the tools they need to empower athletes to reach their fullest potential during every practice and game.”
In tandem with elite training resources, TeamSnap’s enriched content library will feature insights from experts like Positive Coaching Alliance, aiding coaches and parents in navigating crucial topics such as mental well-being, team bonding, resilience, and other life skills. The collaboration will see the continual expansion of the MOJO Sports library with fresh, expert-curated content from esteemed partners, including the impending launch of MLS GO PLAYBOOK, a coaching curriculum designed to bolster grassroots soccer, in collaboration with MLS.
“As Major League Soccer prioritizes game expansion, grassroots initiatives play a pivotal role in broadening reach and impact,” affirmed Kyle Albrecht, Vice President, MLS GO. “Partnering with TeamSnap, we’re thrilled to introduce top-tier training content to millions of youth sports families, including the upcoming MLS GO PLAYBOOK, a dynamic coaching curriculum aimed at enhancing the coaching and playing experience across all levels, nurturing skill development, and fostering a love for soccer.”
Tony Reagins, Chief Baseball Development Officer at MLB, echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the value of quality coaches in nurturing young athletes. “This content provided by TeamSnap will not only support youth coaches but also guide parents as they navigate their child’s development on and off the field,” said Reagins, highlighting the potential for increased youth participation in the game due to enhanced coaching and resources.
Empowering youth sports coaches with premium resources not only enhances their confidence but also elevates the athlete and family experience. According to the National Alliance for Youth Sports, only 5-10% of youth sports coaches have received relevant training, while the University of Maine reports that athletes under untrained coaches drop out at a rate five times higher than those under qualified coaches.
“The impact of a skilled coach on a young athlete transcends mere athletic performance; it molds character, mindset, and future success both on and off the field,” noted Reed Shaffner, Chief Technology Officer at TeamSnap. “By placing these resources directly into the hands of our TeamSnap community, we reaffirm our commitment to their success and underscore our renewed emphasis on rapid innovation.”
Coaching content, tailored for youth soccer, baseball, and softball, emerges through partnerships with MLS, MLB, and FC Barcelona. TeamSnap remains steadfast in expanding its roster of professional sports league partners, leveraging MOJO Sports’ established affiliations with esteemed leagues such as NFL FLAG and the Jr. NBA. Users can anticipate a constant influx of fresh training materials and educational content spanning sports, health, and well-being in an already extensive educational hub.
