We're about a quarter of a million dollars ahead of where we were this time last year. All of our 2020–2021 fees will be collected within the financial year. That's the first time that's ever happened in our 17-year existence.

Clear & Consistent Communications

The club had been using a “hodgepodge” of communication and information-sharing tools. It was cumbersome to manage and messages were getting changed and misunderstood too often. In PlayMetrics, HTX found a solution that brought everyone together with centralized messaging, file sharing, and built-in automations.

The club communication features in PlayMetrics have elevated us to a level that really benefits our membership.

Season Management in Sync

From session planning to curriculum enforcement to player evaluations, HTX Soccer was dealing with the chaos of spreadsheets and siloed work, the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing. PlayMetrics allowed directors and coaches to stay connected throughout the entire season, eliminating the guesswork that came from disconnected tools and processes.

The ability to standardize your curriculum, standardize your expectations and levels of information, and the specific activities, curriculum goals and game models, all of that, we’re now able to get out and hold people accountable to those things.
