Sports Camps Blue Sombrero’s origin actually points back to youth sport camps. Prior to creating Blue Sombrero, Cofounders Pete Santora and Erik Stadler founded and ran Nacional Soccer Camps, whose mission was “to inspire passion for the game of soccer.” Regrettably, that mission was being diluted with all the time spent in the office, rather than on the soccer field. Turning to their software background in seeking a solution, Nacional wanted a way to automate the process. A program was built allowing parents to register their children for Nacional Soccer Camps over the internet…save the hassle of manual entry, insurance forms and chasing checks. In one stroke of innovation the new wave of sport administration was born, and Blue Sombrero was founded. Since then, Blue Sombrero has expanded our services to meet the needs not only of camps, but clubs, leagues, facilities and state associations. Blue Sombrero continues to work with camps streamlining their administrative process using the following tools: 1. Online Registration and Payment a. Alleviates piles of paper, double entry issues and stack of checks to deposit/reconcile b. Customize your registration questions and automate the entire process c. Registration and payment available 24 hours/day and 7 days/week d. Eliminates errors associated with manual data entry 2. Communication a.

While we were nervous about a 100% electronic registration process we were delighted in a 10% increase in our summer enrollments. Our customers repeatedly commented on the ease of the registration process as well as the convenience of being able to pay via credit card. If a problem did occur, the Blue Sombrero staff worked quickly to remedy any situation. I highly recommend this service for any group, camp, or league.” Thad Lepcio Director of Outreach Programs Baylor School Some of our Youth Camp customers include… • Baylor School Summer Programs • Emory University Summer Camps • Furman University Football Camp • Harpeth Hall Academy • Montgomery Bell Academy • University of North Carolina-Greensboro All-Sports Summer Camps • University of Oklahoma Soccer Camp SCHEDULE A DEMO now to see how Blue Sombrero can help ease the administrative burden managing your Youth Sport Camp.
