About
Sportsman Web is an all-in-one recreation and facility management platform purpose-built for parks and recreation departments, community centers, aquatic facilities, golf courses, and sports courts. With over 30 years of partnership with recreation professionals, the platform provides the tools needed to efficiently run programs, events, and facilities entirely online. Core capabilities include flexible online activity registration with custom questions, waitlists, age verification, and custom waivers. Facility reservation tools let staff define and schedule indoor and outdoor spaces for both in-person and online booking. A seamless point-of-sale module supports fast checkouts, daily till closing, and GL-code-level financial reconciliation. Membership management features support multiple membership types, geofencing for resident/non-resident pricing, and recurring payment processing. League scheduling, summer camp management, golf tee-time booking, and child care program tracking round out the platform's depth. Customizable web-based reporting delivers participation, financial, and program-level insights that can be exported to spreadsheets. Sportsman Web runs entirely in the cloud, making it accessible from any web-capable device — whether staff are at a front desk, on a field, or working remotely. Plans include unlimited online support and training with no long-term contract requirements. Feature-based pricing ensures organizations pay only for what they need, making it equally suitable for small municipal departments and large multi-facility operations.
