SaveMoneySports is a community of parents who are tired of overpaying. We share honest reviews, surface real deals, and tell you what your kid actually needs — sport by sport, age by age.
Free to join. We're building this with our first 500 members.
Families spend over a thousand dollars a year per kid, per sport. Costs are up 46% in five years. Travel teams charge $3,000+ and most parents have no idea where that money goes.
Meanwhile, 70% of kids quit sports by age 13 — and cost is one of the biggest reasons families drop out.
There's no Consumer Reports for youth sports. No place to compare what programs charge. No one telling parents which $60 bat performs the same as the $300 one. We're changing that.

We're starting focused. These are the three things parents tell us would actually change how they spend on their kids' sports.
Sport-by-sport, age-by-age breakdowns of what your kid actually needs — and what's a waste of money. Written by a former D1 athlete who's spent a career inside the sports industry. No affiliate-driven "top 10" lists. Just the truth.
What does that travel team actually charge? Is the coaching any good? Is it worth it? We're building the first real review platform for youth sports programs — by parents, for parents. No org can pay to be listed or rated.
We negotiate directly with brands and surface deals that are relevant to your kid's sport and age — not generic coupon spam. When we find a $85 shoe that performs like a $160 one, you'll hear about it.
A preview of what founding members will get access to.
The full gear breakdown, shoe recommendations with real prices, a 20-minute solo practice plan, and a cost comparison of rec vs. travel that shows you exactly where the money goes.
Free guide — live nowNike Giannis Immortality 4. Great traction, lightweight, durable for outdoor courts. Often drops below $60 on sale. Your kid doesn't need expensive signature shoes at this age.
Gear pickWe're collecting real cost and experience data from parents across the country. Our first program reviews will help you see what's normal, what's overpriced, and where the best value programs are near you.
Coming with founding membersI'm Steven. I played Division I tennis at Lehigh, became the youngest certified MLB player agent in history, and spent years building products in sports technology — including at a company that worked with 5,000+ youth sports organizations.
I've seen the economics from every angle: what organizations charge, what it actually costs them, and how much of what parents pay is margin, marketing, or unnecessary. Most of the information parents need to make good decisions simply doesn't exist in one place.
I'm building SaveMoneySports in the open, with the first 500 families who join. Your feedback shapes what we build next. This isn't a finished product — it's a community that becomes the product.
We're looking for 500 founding members to shape what SaveMoneySports becomes. Join free, get our first guides and deals, and tell us what you actually need.
