Lawrence Little League uses SportsConnect (the system behind this website) and GameChanger (a mobile application) for communication with parents. SportsConnect is our “of record” system and all information synchronizes one way into GameChanger, our mobile app.

SportsConnect

SportsConnect is our of-record system for registration, player and parent information (including emails), schedules, standings, website hosting, and more. We use SportsConnect to send emails to parents, and so its important your information is up to date in this system

GameChanger

All Coaches and Parents should download and install the GameChanger App prior to the season. We use the app for player RSVPs, team chat, and game scoring including pitch counts. Information from SportsConnect, our of-record system, is synced to GC. Information added into GC is not synced back to SportsConnect.
