Phoenix Rising FC Chooses Byga

Byga is pleased to announce that Phoenix Rising has selected Byga for the club’s management, operations and communication needs throughout its regional youth programs. With 7,000 players across recreation and competitive programs, Phoenix Rising participates in and excels at every level of the US soccer pyramid, including MLS NEXT, ECNL and USL Championship leagues. By partnering with Byga, Phoenix Rising is ensuring that all of its players, parents and staff are provided the industry’s leading innovative technology platform. 

After a diligent research and evaluation period, the Phoenix-based club chose Byga over the competition, recognizing the clear feature-set and functionality advantages inherent in the platform for its multi-region operation, including Byga’s depth in game/practice scheduling, tryouts, integrated communications/mobile application, and financial operations.

The initial step standardized a large, multi-site tryout using a single club sign-up form, while also considering local site/affiliate operations to support each site’s tryout day check-in and evaluation needs. In just a few days, Byga's dedicated support team enabled both the centralized form as well as all of site instances, and began supporting the initial training for the Phoenix Rising operations team as well as preparing them for rostering, registration and the multitude of operations that go into running a large youth sports organization. The speed of the implementation is a testimony to the direction and execution of Phoenix Rising management as well as the efforts of the Byga team, but also to the ease of implementation of the Byga platform.

“After a comprehensive process identifying the leading technological platforms in the industry, we are excited to partner with BYGA moving forward. Their responsiveness and agility to create bespoke programming for our organization is groundbreaking.”

Chris Brown, Executive Director – Phoenix Rising FC
