How WhereTheyPlay works
A directory that connects families to youth sports organizations, free for parents to search, low-cost for organizations, and honest about what it is and isn't.

Get found
Show up when a family in your area searches your sport.
Some organizations already have a page here that we compiled from what they publish themselves. That is a limited set of up to 100 pages. If one of those is yours, you do not start at step 1: check it, tell us what is wrong and we fix it at no cost, and claim it to take it over. Those pages carry no charge for their first 12 months, then $25 a month. Every other listing uses the plans above.
A page we built says so until the organization claims it, and any organization can have its page removed within 24 hours of asking, with no account and nothing to prove.
How we keep listings honest
- No parent or player accounts. No player names or photos on any public page. Public pages show team level information only.
- Staff photos are for staff 18+ only; no minors appear in any photo or are named on any profile, regardless of role.
- Facility photos are checked for people before they go live. A staff photo goes live when the organization states that the person is 18 or older and agreed to be shown. Staff photos and logos are not reviewed before they go live.
- Listings are not endorsements. WhereTheyPlay does not verify credentials and is not a party to any agreement between parents and organizations.
