Playbook was founded back in 2010 in response to an urgent need to streamline event management for youth sports. Its founder, Billy Becher partnered with a team of industry experts to develop a robust solution that meets the high demands of sports event organizers, clubs, leagues, and facility operators. Playbook's comprehensive platform offers essential tools for registration, scoring, scheduling, roster management, and communications, ensuring maximum efficiency in running events and managing facilities. In 2023, Playbook was acquired by Alliance Reservation Network, leading to the creation of an all-in-one sports management and event housing solution.

"With 15 years of experience in business growth and a deep sports background, we recognized the inefficiencies in youth sports tech and knew we could help organizations overcome these challenges."

— Billy Becher, founder Playbook365

"We led the industry in automating the outdated group block RFP process. The next logical step was using our booking engine to reserve, create sub-blocks, and manage reservations."

— Greg Keller, founding member,

Alliance Reservation Network
