Meet Mark, his car had a flat tire. “Fortunately,” he had a bicycle pump in his trunk. He grabbed it and started pumping his tire. He quickly realized he was working hard but hardly working. At this point, Mark was sweating, angry and wondering what he did to deserve this. This is what using the right tool for the wrong task can feel like. It's stressful, overwhelming, time-consuming and a giant bowl of many negative emotions. If you organize adult sports, DON’T be like Mark! Save your sweat for the field, not your league software. Ditch software built for kids and use a platform actually built for you. Join Bantr and experience no more frustrations – just smooth operations, happy players and good vibes. ✨⚽ #Bantr #AdultSports #SportsManagement #SportsTech #SportsInnovation

Today we’re shouting out Gotham Soccer - one of the adult soccer leagues using Bantr. Gotham Soccer is the amateur soccer league with pro experience with multiple locations across the US. ⚽ Gotham Soccer gets a shout as an early adopter of Bantr. They caught the Bantr vision, jumped in early and helped shape the platform. Now they use Bantr Connect for their league management and their players and teams use the Bantr web app (mobile app coming soon 🥳). Their website also runs on the Bantr platform. Talk about going all in! 🙌 Before Bantr, Gotham Soccer used no league management tool; they didn't like the available options. “They’re make-shift dinosaurs” - their words, not ours. So, why Bantr? “Because of the thoughtful UI and UX design, the adult league-specific feature set, the rapid response from Bantr's development team, and most of all, for the shared passion they have for building something the right way and for the right reasons.” 🏆 Special thanks to Andrew Shroll for his invaluable insights and feedback which have been pivotal in shaping the Bantr platform. His love for Bantr is so strong he became an ambassador - the real MVP! 👑 If you're in any of Gotham Soccer's cities and craving some footie action, whether it's registering your team, joining a team or for a good pickup game, look no further. And if you know any adult soccer leagues ready to elevate their game, give us a shout, tag them in the comments or share with them - we'd appreciate the assist 😉. Let's get them onboarded and kicking goals with some Bantr magic - ASAP! ✨ #Startup #SportsTech #Soccer #LeagueManagement

Time to meet the three soccer-obsessed cofounders of Bantr - Sam Weisbrod, Marc Howell, and Ryan Moorehouse. Sam has 11 years of experience in soccer at the youth, adult and professional levels. He built the largest rec soccer business in the Midwest while at the Chicago Fire, cofounded a national association of adult soccer leagues and manages the largest youth club in East Tennessee. He used to be a fan of Arsenal FC, but not anymore. Marc, on the other hand, is still an ardent Arsenal FC fan. He has 13 years of experience working in design as a creative director, graphic designer, and UXUI designer. He co-founded a successful boutique design studio whose clients ranged from global brands to startups. Ryan has worked in software engineering for 12 years and led engineering teams across the world with several Fortune 500 companies. He’s a Manchester United FC fan. Combining Sam’s soccer expertise, Marc’s design wizardry, Ryan’s technical prowess, and their collective passion for soccer, they created Bantr to enhance the overall experience of adult sports leagues with modern and intuitive tools for league admins, teams, and players, eliminating the need to rely on tools built for youth sports. Fun fact: they met on a soccer pitch in Chicago, and a few years later, Bantr was born.
