Online Registration Testimonials

"I can't tell you enough how great my experience has been with Active.com. Your team has made the process very easy, and have you taken care of every detail. Your team has also responded incredibly well to all of my requests, payments have been made very timely and my participants have had nothing but great things to say about your online registration process. I will certainly continue to use the great service that you and your company provide for many years to come."

"Active.com and their online registration process have been great! We run Fall and Winter Lacrosse leagues in Mason, Ohio each year with over 900 participants. Switching from mail-in forms to on-line registrations has improved our administrative organization tremendously. Using Active.com has saved us time and allowed us to expand our league with ease. Not only have we been happy with the registration process, but our participants appreciate the level of customer service we are able to provide by using Active.com. We are also very pleased with Scott, our contact at Active.com. Scott has always found answers to all of my questions and always responds quickly."

"Prior to the 2006 season Cypress Park Little League decided to offer online registration to their membership. After a lengthy review and due diligence process, CPLL decided to use ACTIVE.com. Our League's executive then determined that in order to save time and to streamline our registration we would switch over to only online registration, and not offer registrants a choice. While we initially anticipated that up to 90% of our registrations would be completed online and not require offline entry from paper forms, the actual number that were processed online exceeded 97% in the first year! Despite a few initial glitches, I can not tell you how happy we have been with the service provided by ACTIVE.com and our account representative. He gave us prompt assistance with the interaction of our League's website and the registration interface, as well as custom design of our data entry page.

"We are incredibly pleased with the changeover from paper registration and manual data entry, to this online procedure. The time savings for our registrar has been at least 75% (in other words, well over 100 hours), and our League treasurer now deals with one cheque for registration fees every two weeks, instead of dozens.

"We have also enjoyed a few other benefits from the changeover. The total number of registrations has increased by 5%, and because the fee increase was automatic after a certain date, more players registered earlier this season than in prior years. Most importantly, because each applicant must answer a detailed question about volunteering (or, if they didn't wish to volunteer, make a donation to our League), we are enjoying a significantly higher number of new volunteers, as well as a much higher level of donations.

"Cypress Park LL is considering using ACTIVE.com for more than just general registration, and we have recommended to other associations in our district to call Scott and set up with online registration. There is no question in my mind that CPLL with continue to use ACTIVE.com's online registration, with Scott Robinson's assistance, for many years to come."

"My name is Diane Latham and I am the Vice President of the Rockville Football League. We are a non-profit football league in Rockville, Maryland that registers approximately 1200 boys and girls to play football and cheer each Fall. I just wanted to send a note to let you know about the experience I have had working with Active and Ryan Henning.

"Last year was our first attempt at using an on-line registration service. We used Snap Registration and all in all, it turned out pretty well. There were a lot of little issues to work out and things to change the following year, but we never got the chance because Snap went under. Needless to say, after all the work we had put into it, I was a little skeptical about on-line registration services. I was put in touch with Active. I contacted Active by phone and was connected to Ryan. He immediately answered all of my questions and calmed all of my fears, and let me walk through the system to see how it worked. Without the help and support that Ryan gave me, I'm afraid that we might have been back to paper registration.

"Since my introduction to Active and Ryan (some 5 months ago), I have come to develop a great working relationship with Ryan. He is always prompt with the answers that you need and ready to immediately solve any problems that you may have. He has gone above and beyond being creative for the special needs that we have. He is a pleasure to work with and a joy to talk to. I just wanted to let you know that if Ryan is a reflection on your company and their values, I'm sure you will do well and be in business for a long time. I hope that everyone has the experience that I have had working with Active."

Rockville Football League

"This year it was decided that Jericho would enter the 21st century and give on-line registration a try. With considerable misgivings about the entire process, ACTIVE.COM was our choice. Though we had a few small problems, all to do with my inexperience with the system, I cannot tell you how truly happy we have been with the service provided. Scott Robinson has done an excellent job at providing us with the answers, solutions to our problems and fixes when I screwed things up. He went out of his way to keep everything flowing smoothly. This year we had hoped for a 50 per cent on-line registration rate...we ended up with slightly over 80 per cent...Next season we will try for 100%. I have recommended to our Board that Jericho use ACTIVE.COM again next season, Scott and I have already talked about setting up changes and improvements for our slightly different situation. I hope to kick things off in mid July or early August."

Rick Martin, President
Jericho Baseball Association in Vancouver, BC

"We chose ACTIVE.COM for our website registration based on feedback from other youth programs in our area. We have been working with their customer service representative, Scott, who is assisting us with our pilot online registration programs. Both pilot programs have been extremely successful and we look forward to fully automating our entire program prior to our tryouts in the spring. As program registrar, I no longer have to chase parents for payments and paperwork which leaves more time for me to concentrate on player development. Generating reports is a breeze and I can download to my local computer, gene`1rate a spreadsheet for the entire program in a few simple clicks. Calculating program cost is pretty straight forward since active provides all the financial history that you need. The registration process is tailored to our needs and if I run into any problems, Scott is just an email or phone call away. We are currently working with USA Hockey to integrate their registration process with our program's online active registration site. Scott is working with us to make sure that there are no issues and the correct solution is implemented.

"I can not say enough about how easy Scott has been to deal with. He is professional and courteous at all times and understands youth sports registration needs."

"Active.com is the right choice for a small business owner without credit card processing capabilities who reaches the majority of Clients via email. Combine that convenience with an easy-to-use flexible tool and a very friendly Customer Service Staff and you can't go wrong. In fact, I use it for both of my businesses!"

"North Farmington West Bloomfield (NFWB) Baseball and Softball for Youth has been a client of Active.com since 2003. We will now head into our third season of success with the ease of online registration. With over 1,000 players in our league, Active has been a real plus for our organization. Even though NFWB has traditionally had two open nights for in-person registration, it seems that everyone's lives are getting busier by the minute. Those two nights never seemed to be enough and, of course, Michigan weather NEVER cooperates on cold January nights. Our parents love to be able to sit at their computers at their convenience and spend 10 quick minutes registering their child to play and they are done! For us as administrators, the ease of organizing lists, logs and data is a breeze through Active. The technical support Active provides is terrific. Matt has been a real pleasure to work with. His quick responses to our never ending questions goes above and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend Active to anyone."

"Switching to Active.com, from a paper registration, saved TexasLacrosse.com over 80 hours of doing paper work for our Summer Lacrosse programs. Doing an online registration is something I've wanted to do for years and Active.com was able to deliver a solution that was easy to set up and convenient for the participants to use. Furthermore, the level of support and communication from Active.com staff is amazing and extremely helpful. All lacrosse programs should use Active.com for their registrations."

"Online registration with Active was invaluable for my basketball clinic. Every person who registered and paid online did in fact participate in the clinic allowing me to plan properly for the number of clinic attendees. Having online registration meant people had to commit and provide the knowledge as to the amount of money I had to work with in conducting the clinic. I will do this again next year when I expect to at least double the number of people that will attend. I will definitely push online registration again at that time...thanks!"

"We chose ACTIVE.COM for our website registration based on the full range of features they offered. From the onset, dealing with their customer service representative, Scott Yeske, has been a breeze. He worked diligently to custom fit their process to our needs. I can not think of any aspect of the site which we were not able to tweak the way we wanted. We are extremely pleased with the way the website performed. It is very comforting for our organization to not have to chase our members for the money. We have over 400 players and this task has always been a real challenge. The instant availability of reports regarding players, registration summaries, cash flow etc. is very helpful. At a moments glance, we could go on line and monitor the influx of registrations and cash flow during our registration period. We also managed to interface the report with our current league management system and eventually look forward to interfacing with USA Hockey.

"I can not say enough about how pleasant Scott has been to deal with. He knows his system and our sport well and was always accommodating to our ideas. "

"The Houma-Terrebonne Soccer Association has always had the problems associated with entering registrant data at registration time. Each paper registration form requires 10 to 15 minutes of review and data entry time. With over 700 kids in our association, this is a very labor intensive task for our volunteers to go through twice a year. The combination of Active.com's online registration and the League Organizer link has greatly simplified our tasks. Even though only 50 registrants participated during the first year, the time savings was noticeable. Active.com's technical support also went above and beyond what was anticipated. The decision to use Active.com's online registration was made one week before the registration process began. Active.com's support person had the online registration form customized to our needs and up and running in time for our membership to use. We look forward to a continuing relationship with Active.com and League Organizer."

"Can't say enough good things about Active.com. This was the first year we tried anything other than registering in person and boy did it go well !! We had very few problems with the online registration and more than 50% of our 850 players were registered online. The fact that data can be imported into Excel was worth its weight in gold compared to the countless hours our volunteers have spent in the past entering all the registration data.

"We are considering having only online registration for our next season... it went that well!!!!

"Thanks for everything!"

"In our first year, we had a 40% response rate for online registration - we are DELIGHTED with Active.com. The support we received was outstanding, and there were no problems encountered.

"We register approximately 1200 players in our league - online registration makes that process MUCH simpler. Active.com has made this process painless.

"The support we received was fantastic - there was one person assigned to our league. He was available when we had questions, and very responsive. I highly recommend Active.com for leagues considering online registration."

"This summer, West Raleigh Baseball Association decided to try online registration for the first time. We decided to use Active.com because we already use eteamz as our baseball league web hosting service, and because when we shopped around, we found the cost of using Active.com was lower than other sources we evaluated.

"I wanted to let you know that we really had a positive experience with Active.com's online registration. For our Fall Baseball program, we anticipated having about 400 total registrants, and hoped that 30% of these would be online. In fact, we had 419 total registrants, of which 265 or 63% were online! We had a much easier time preparing the coaches' tryout evaluation sheets than usual because we already had most of the players' information downloaded from Active.com. Our positive experience with this will allow us to keep our online registration open longer for Spring Baseball next season and still be ready for spring tryouts and player drafts.

"Online registration was easy to set up and very easy monitor, and Active.com support was extremely helpful when I had questions. Using Active.com online registration allowed us to focus on running our baseball program, instead of dealing with registration forms and checks, and typing information into spreadsheets.

"Thanks for making this such a positive experience for West Raleigh Baseball!"

"Mattawan Little League's first Online Registration was successful beyond our expectations! Nearly half of our early registrations were received online, thanks to the league charging the same price for registration whether online, in person, or by mail. Also, the online registrations were easy to reconcile with the checks we received from active.com. Most importantly, our active.com representative, was extremely helpful in getting our registration up and running, complete with customized questions."

"Thanks so much. Sharon Springs Youth Football Association really had a great experience with eteamz. The registration was so easy and saved so much time. We were able to upload the information into our database and track all the payments without any problems. Any questions that we had were answered in less than 24 hours. I would recommend any organization interested in not only web site design but registration to consider eteamz.com."

"Nothing but positive results. We've had over 1,000 online registrations so far, and it's our first year using Internet technology. In the past we would have had 6 evenings of sign-ups. The Hillsborough Little League in 2002 had over 1,600 players divided into our 2 leagues, Hillsborough National and Hillsborough American. With so many players to register, lines would be long and frustrating to wait in. With the online program, we had only 2 in-person sign-ups, and both of those dates coincided with 2003 tryouts, so there was little additional effort required to 'man the table'.

"It (Registration Center) is easy to navigate through, deposits of funds are made and received in a timely fashion, the Board of Directors do not have to set aside numerous hours of time to sit at a table and manually register players. Since the registration was on the HLL website we had our new web site receive much activity and publicity and won a tremendous epointz award."

"We were very pleased with Active.com's online registration services. It made it easier for customers registering at the last minute or customers who wanted to register quickly, get a confirmation, and be done with it. Online registration also helped us collect balance payments from people who forgot they had a balance. Once we sent out reminders, these people were happy to take care of the payment quickly online. We hope to do even more with Active.com this year and appreciate all the ideas the company has given us to increase registrations."

"For the first time in its 20+ year history, Amherst Youth Basketball (Amherst, NY) made a decision to go on-line as we prepared for the 2001-2002 season. Typically, AYB receives 300 registration forms (and checks) in the mail during pre-registration and another 50 or so forms (with check/cash) at walk-in registration. This year, using eteamz and active.com, we successfully registered nearly 400 players by web (we had another 80 register in person). The combination of eteamz and active.com created a situation where the board saved significant time and effort during the registration process. We also saved a significant amount of money by sending out only postcards pointing to the web site, rather than complete newsletters and registration forms. Further, the number of data entry errors is significantly fewer than in past years. In addition, the parents in the community loved the service. I typically check e-mail for the last time each day at about 10:30pm and for the first time each day at about 6:00am. Amazingly, we had 5-10 people register each day during that interval. The ability of parents to register at *their* convenience was a real hit. Finally, I simply cannot say enough about how wonderful the active.com staff was to work with."

Dr. Russ Miller

"In our first year using the on-line registration format, we far exceeded our expectations in terms of both sheer numbers and the positive feedback from families that took advantage of it and its convenience. More importantly...it went off without a single problem! From the buzz we're hearing, we already anticipate at least tripling that volume for 2003.

"This vital new feature, along with the information contained in our general web area, has become an invaluable tool in promoting our league and getting information to kids and their families in a timely and professional manner that, most importantly, everyone can have fun with. (We do an annual 'Halloween Edition' that's become a 'can't miss' item.)

"Finally, through all the transitions over the past year, the Active.com staff has been nothing short of phenomenal in giving their assistance whenever we've called on them (a lot). Our website has now become a part of the fabric of our league."

"While 20 percent of summer basketball players signed up via the web, the number jumped to 60 percent for winter basketball. I believe the payoff will come when 1,200 softball teams register to play this summer. In the past, aside from inputting the information from more than a thousand sheets to create leagues, the organization also penned plenty of receipts. Writing a receipt takes five minutes, but writing 1,200 takes a lot of time."

Active.com's league tools and online registration capabilities have not only improved the quality of service our division has been able to provide, but has also helped us operate more efficiently. As a result, we have been able to offer new leagues and events for citizens in our community."
