Website also helps parents and children find useful information on local recreational and club sports openings
CANYON COUNTRY, Calif., July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — For parents of young athletes, finding the ideal local sports league for their child to join can be an adventure. For leagues and teams, it's just as difficult to attract new players. With no formal system in place, many parents depend on word of mouth and community billboards to learn about leagues and teams in their area. "We were frustrated parents ourselves," said Ryan Taylor, co-founder of Allteamz. "Word of mouth takes too much time and leagues often lack the money to create any sort of advertising campaign. We think Allteamz is a user friendly and free solution for both parents and leagues." Allteamz is a new website designed to streamline the process of finding local youth sports teams.

When children and their parents click to Allteamz, the site automatically detects their location and shows local results. These results can be refined by selecting one or several options. Users can sort by age group, sport, gender, travel range, game and practice frequency, season, distance and cost. Allteamz is especially useful for families who are new to an area and lack the social contacts to "ask around" and learn about local sports teams.
The win for local sports organizations is the opportunity to create profiles on Allteamz. From there, profiles can be filled with as much information as the league feels it needs, including cost, age groups, contact information, team philosophy and coach biographies. "Put your league or team on Allteamz and more players will flat out find you," says Ryan Taylor. Leagues and teams can also create "listings," which are announcements of upcoming important events. Open tryouts? Create a listing. New Season? Create a listing. There are virtually no limits to how often leagues can reach out to their prospective player base. The best part? It's always free.
