Blue Star Sports is a web solution platform that aims to create simple and secure ways for coaches and parents to integrate their children into youth sports leagues. Rob Wechsler, Founder and CEO of Blue Star Sports, ensures customers that his software is dedicated to the youth sports ecosystem, eliminating the challenges concerning sports management among youth athletics.
“I am extremely passionate about introducing a premier youth sports business solution to the market. Throughout my entire life, I played and coached sports,” said Wechsler. “Now with three children who are highly active in numerous sports, time is always limited. That’s when I identified the opportunity to make the lives of parents, volunteers and coaches much easier.”
With the recent announcement of financial backing from Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Providence Equity Partners, Blue Star Sports’ ability to deliver a world-class sports experience to youth organizations is getting a strong boost.
The Blue Star Sports software involves creating easy-to-use interfaces for the lay user to access and utilize with fluidity. Their products include tools such as a web & app builder and a system to keep track of registration and payments. Altogether, the software intends to help interested sports minds in creating their own youth sports leagues and clubs in their area, therefore expanding the culture of youth sports.
This is a key reason successful businessmen like Jerry Jones are backing Blue Star Sports’ initiative.
“The Dallas Cowboys organization is dedicated to the development of youth sports at all levels,” said Jones. “In order to deliver a world-class sports experience to youth organizations, we have partnered with Rob Wechsler to form Blue Star Sports. The future lies in the hands of the youth, and working to enhance the participation of young people in sports is very important to us.”
The convenience of having a streamlined web solution to seamlessly get children involved in sports leagues is Blue Star Sports’ goal, and Providence Equity Partners recognizes this as well. Marco Ferrari, the Managing Director at Providence, shows his support by helping to accelerate Wechsler’s efforts, investing in the company.
“The team at Blue Star Sports has proven industry expertise in payments, sports, and technology, all areas in which Providence Equity has longstanding experience and relationships,” said Ferrari.
Providence Equity Partners has worked with plentiful sports related investments in the past. In 2013, the investment firm formed a strategic partnership with the National Football League focusing on entertainment related media assets. Because of this and Jerry Jones’ prominence in the NFL, Blue Star Sports surely has a firm support system of organizations who appreciate and thrive on sports culture.
