A Active Sports Case Study
Clifton Park Youth Hockey Association, a 400-player program in Albany, NY, was burdened by an archaic paper registration process—12–14 page packets that took parents 40–45 minutes per child, check-only payments, long registration tables and extra bank trips—creating heavy manual work for volunteers and limiting the league’s capacity to grow.
By implementing Active Network’s LeagueRegister and promoting online sign-up as “Going Green,” Clifton Park moved registrations and required documents online, enabled credit-card payments and integrated with the USA Hockey database. The change saved 40+ volunteer hours per season, increased revenue by about $1,000 (more than covering setup costs), achieved 100% online participation in its first year and supported a 14% growth in registrations, allowing the league to expand teams and events.
