TeamSnap, the online community for everything youth sports, today announced that it achieved record growth and revenue across all business lines in 2021, despite the Covid-related shutdowns early in the year. In addition to setting all-time company revenue records, daily average users (DAU) increased by an explosive and record setting 47% year-over-year, spiking to nearly 2 million unique user logins per day during some months.
TeamSnap attributes the rapid growth seen in 2021 and continuing momentum into 2022 to its new partnership with Waud Capital Partners, which has infused capital into the business to fuel growth initiatives. With this latest investment, new leadership team, and employee growth of nearly 100% YOY, the company is in a strong position to capitalize on the return to youth sports in North America, resulting in accelerated adoption of its innovative technology platform.

As TeamSnap continues to expand its platform and product offerings, its customer base of over 25 million continues to stay loyal to the brand. In addition to connecting the youth sports community, the platform is enabling sports organizations to scale at a faster pace thanks to its business solutions.
