Online sports technology solutions company, Pointstreak, is evolving the pen and paper method of tracking player’s statistics into an environment that would allow access to a myriad of player information as it unfolds on the field.
“All of the relevant (game) information could be automatically integrated into our stats platform, which is used to capture statistical information in real time,” said Pointstreak CEO Kenneth Cook. “(The customer) will always have fresh, dynamic content, because (they) are generating these statistics, or automatic game recaps, in real time.”
The company’s goal is to keep its partners at the “frontier of modern sports technology.” And with the integration of Pointstreak’s complete line of products, what could be seen as a rudimentary league can swiftly and painlessly form itself into a cutting-edge association.
Pointstreak was created with the intentions of allowing all parts of an organization to streamline game data to create the most capable statistical library offered to a league.
But the company’s potential influence to an association doesn’t end there.
The sports tech brand also gives a league the tools they will need to build a top-to-bottom customizable experience geared to its needs. From its extensive statistic log and website management platform that builds and supplies a league’s online presence, to a registration tool that gives families and front-office management an easy method of signing up players and paying dues, Pointstreak lends its three pillars to give an organization the ideal way of structuring a league for the digital era.
The Canadian born business has taken its core solutions to help facilitate customer experiences and deliver them to develop more effective youth and amateur leagues.
“The genesis and future of our company is taking technologies once exclusive to the highest levels of sport and making them accessible to all athletes and athletic organizations,” Cook said.
A unique blend of products can give consumers a versatile way to become more invested in their leagues. “Live Publisher” is tool that gives a team the chance to automatically index and publish highlight videos as they unfold, possibly giving those that can’t be at their athlete’s game a chance to see them play, according to Cook. In addition, on-the-go integration comes in the form of Pointstreak’s scalable online websites, which are responsive on any mobile device, as well as the company’s mobile app, which lets a fan track information of any league in the system, all in real-time.
The complete digital integration that Pointstreak offers is not just to move a league online for the sake of convenience, but to give entire leagues, teams, and players the tools they would need to stay on the competitive edge. The ease of content and data management given by the company’s data solutions lets everyone involved in the organization worry more about what is happening on the field instead of off it.

“(Pointstreak) provides a solutions package to organizations across North America to help streamline their finances, statistics, and to create a seamless package that will help (leagues) manage their day-to-day,” said Vice President of Digital Media Jeff Fallis.
For over 15 years, Pointstreak has worked to try and give associations better ways to manage its teams. And with the recent release of its Performance platform, the company’s provided for an even deeper venue of connection.
“Pointstreak Performance is a communication platform for leagues and associations to be able to have all of their information, as it relates to their athletes, in one location,” Cook said. “If I’m a team manager, I can use it to communicate with all of my athletes, all of my players. If I’m a league, I can use it to communicate to all my teams.”
With comprehensive breakdowns of player stats, the Performance platform gives managers and players the opportunity to interact with personal data to help find where their game needs to improve.
“We have a section for athlete analysis, video analysis, a section for strength and conditioning, a section for nutrition, all seamlessly integrated with our other products,” Cook said.
The Performance platform offers customers a more meaningful way to build a better league with stronger players.
Pointstreak has had a lot of success since its inception. All the innovations that have gone into the company’s products and platforms have been implemented in order to achieve a smooth user experience.
Pointstreak aims to significantly improve the allure of a league. But Cook believes the reason why more than four million unique visitors come to their platforms a month is because of the accessibility and reliability that the company offers.
“Once you provide information to people in real time, instantaneously, there’s a very strong, emotional connection to that information,” Cook said. ”Being able to follow, at least statistically, the athletic endeavors of our children, or ourselves, is something that’s really impactful.”
