The idea of Team Sports Admin started in 2009 when Jeremy Eggers (1 of 3 founders) was overwhelmed registering 400+ kids for tryouts and managing over 20+ teams per season. Jeremy was running (and still does to this day) Friends of Hoop Seattle (FOH Seattle), a nationally recognized AAU basketball organization. He knew there had to be a better way than using PayPal for payments and signing legal documents via paper and pen.

He approached one of his volunteer coaches who was in technology, Tyler G. Sorensen (1 of 3 founders), to find a solution. Tyler owned a technology/marketing company with his best friend from high school, Edgar Perez-Arevalo (1 of 3 founders). Together Tyler and Edgar set out to find a solution for FOH Seattle as there was no shortage of companies claiming they could make things easy, but the reality was: none lived up to their promises or our expectations.

That’s when Jeremy asked, “Can you build the solution for me?” Without skipping a beat, Tyler and Edgar looked at each other and said, “We are in.”

At first, the solution was only built and meant for FOH Seattle. During a 4-hour road trip heading to coach in a tournament, Tyler picked the brain of Jeremy and wrote down the initial requirements. It was these basic requirements that the registration process was based on.

After launching the solution for FOH Seattle in 2010, a board member of one of the largest soccer organizations in the state asked Jeremy, “Who built this for you? We need it.” Then others starting asking and that’s when the three original founders thought, “Could this be a real solution for all organizations?”

The answer was simple and in late 2010 they officially formed the business. It was then that Tyler and Edgar moved to a remote location in Lake Arrowhead, CA (population less than 9,000 people) where they hibernated for 1.5 years building a scalable solution.
