Directory Will Bring More Transparency To Youth Sports
Joining Forces to Reimagine Youth Soccer, US Youth Soccer, America’s largest youth sport organization, and TiPEVO make it as easy to search for information on youth soccer clubs as it is to research a hotel or a restaurant.
The largest youth sports organization in the U.S., US Youth Soccer and data-solutions company, TiPEVO announced today the launch of the new official US Youth Soccer Club Directory.
With 3 million kids participating in US Youth Soccer’s programs across the country, the organization’s leadership partnered with TiPEVO in August 2019 to harness the power of their technology and provide improved access, understanding, and clarity to their more than 6,000 member clubs.
With an overwhelming majority of US Youth Soccer States participating, the directory is a great resource for parents all across America.
The goal was simple. Make it easier for parents to research youth soccer clubs, discover what is available, connect with the programs that look interesting and share their experiences in youth sports. TiPEVO brings crowdsourced reviews to youth sports and allows people to rate their clubs.
“Why should it be easier to research a hotel or restaurant then your kid’s youth sports program.”
Dan Conte – TiPEVO Founder
The TiPEVO powered US Youth Soccer Club Directory includes a safe and secure communication tool between parents and clubs and is a new consumer engagement benefit that generates leads for youth soccer clubs.
Imagine checking out the local youth soccer clubs late one night … why would a parent want to go searching for an email when they could take advantage of clicking a button and automatically sending a message to the club? This is known on TiPEVO as a ‘Connect’.
There is also an optional upgrade available for youth soccer clubs — which offers enhanced marketing tools as well as other features — all for just a little more than $1 a day. Created to bring transparency to youth sports and give parents a voice, TiPEVO’s platform is generating a buzz in the youth sports industry.

Powered by TiPEVO, the US Youth Soccer Club Directory provides parents a valuable way to search for and easily view results at-a-glance, and interact with thousands of programs — all in one intuitive directory. Leaving a review takes just seconds, replaces word-of-mouth recommendations and offers insightful, real-life information.
Millennials believe reviews 12x more than the information on a club’s site.
In fact, most reviews are positive, although no one believes a perfect rating score. To date, 92% of the reviews on youth sports programs in TiPEVO are positive and an additional 4% offer constructive recommendations. #TalkToTiPEVO
