Sports software sales: earn commission selling to youth clubs

Play 2 Earn Sports is software for sports clubs, leagues and academies: scheduling, registration and payments, Team Chat and Next Play. We are piloting a Territory Partner program for independent people who want to bring clubs in their area onto the platform and earn a share of the platform fee each time one of those clubs' players registers and pays. This page explains the model in plain terms, including the parts that are still proposals.

What you would be selling

This is not a sports software sales job with a salary: partners are independent and paid commission only. You would be introducing clubs to software, not selling them a product you buy and hold. Play 2 Earn Sports signs the customer agreement with the club, runs the platform and bills the platform fee. Your job is to find clubs that would benefit, show them how it works, and help them get their first registration open.

The platform covers the jobs a volunteer-run club usually juggles across spreadsheets, group chats and payment links:

  • Scheduling for practices, games and tournaments.
  • Registration and payments, so families sign up and pay online for each program or season.
  • Team Chat, with team, coach and parent channels and safe-sport rules.
  • Next Play, where club staff find other teams for friendlies and scrimmages.

How a commission is earned

The platform fee is charged per paid player registration, per program or season. It starts at $3.99 and is set by Play 2 Earn Sports, so it can change. Under the proposed pilot rules:

  1. A club you bring in is submitted as a claim and approved as yours.
  2. One of its players registers for a program and the platform fee is actually collected.
  3. A commission is recorded for that one registration.
  4. It becomes payable once the fee is collected. Refunds and chargebacks are reversed.

A player who registers again next season is a new paid registration and earns a new commission. That is what makes the income recurring: it follows the clubs' seasons, not a one-time sale.

How your share grows

Your share of the fee grows as you bring in more new paid players. Returning players keep earning commission every season they register. Full commission details are shared with approved applicants, and your signed agreement is what applies.

Who this suits

People who already have trust in their local sports community tend to find it easiest: coaches, club board members, league volunteers, sports parents and former players. Sales experience helps, especially selling software or services to small organizations, but knowing the people matters more than a script.

It does not suit someone who needs a salary, wants passive income, or wants to buy a business. Partners are independent and paid commission only.

What we don't promise

We don't publish earnings figures and we have no partner earnings history yet. Results depend on the clubs you bring in, how many of their players pay to register, how often they register, and the terms you sign. Many people in commission sales earn little or nothing.

Questions

Is this a reseller program?

Not in the usual sense. Many software reseller programs have you buy licences at a discount and resell them. Here the club is Play 2 Earn Sports' customer and you are paid a commission on fees actually collected. Our guide on resellers, referral partners and sales agents compares the models.

Which countries is the pilot open in?

The pilot will open one area at a time. Which countries and areas open first hasn't been decided; tell us where you are when you apply.

Can I sell to clubs outside my area?

Yes. If a club is in another partner's protected territory, the one commission for each registration is split 50/50 with that partner. Elsewhere you keep the whole commission.

What does it cost to join?

Territory Partners pay a one-time territory fee for an exclusive area: about CAD 5,000 in Ontario. The fee depends on where you are, and we confirm it in writing before you sign. We don't sell territories where a disclosure document or registration would be required, including British Columbia, Saskatchewan and several US states. There you can join as a Sports Ambassador instead, which has no fee.
