Case Study: Indy Premier Soccer Club achieves 50% tournament growth and reduces admin time with Bloomerang

Using InitLive, Indy Premier Soccer Club scaled up their annual tournament by 50%

Indy Premier Soccer Club (IPSC) is a full-service youth soccer organization that runs the annual Halloween Classic across eight venues and hundreds of teams. IPSC struggled with manual volunteer scheduling and tracking via spreadsheets and SignUpGenius, which created poor visibility, slow communications, inaccurate hours tracking, and frustrated volunteers. To address this, IPSC implemented Bloomerang’s event volunteer scheduling and communication tool.

Bloomerang helped IPSC centralize registration, mobile check‑in, real‑time scheduling, and event‑wide broadcasts, eliminating spreadsheets and phone chains. The result: IPSC scaled the tournament up 50% (growing from about 250 to 350 teams), managed 665+ volunteers and 4K+ hours, achieved a 95% shift attendance rate and ~80% event retention, saved thousands in labor costs, and reduced issue‑resolution time by roughly 88%—handling volunteer issues in under five minutes. Bloomerang also delivered real‑time visibility across eight venues and secure, GDPR‑compliant data storage.
