SECTION 1

ABOUT KYCK

5

Page 6: Re-Thinking Signing Up For Soccer by KYCK

WHO IS KYCK?

6

• KYCK is a 100% soccer-focused technology company

• We build web and mobile applications to simplify bureaucracy in youth soccer

• We’re on a mission to enable clubs to provide tangible value to their parents, players, and staff

• Above all else, we value player development, club growth, and generating clubs more revenue

(Basically we’re a team of tech nerds w/ a passion for soccer as the greatest common denominator)

Page 7: Re-Thinking Signing Up For Soccer by KYCK

WHY WE’RE IN THE BUSINESS

7

We get it! Our team is made up of current and former players, registrars, coaches, board members, and parents. We’ve felt these frustrations first-hand.

No one’s happy and we’ve experienced the pain.

• Parents - too often don’t know what they need to know or what they need to do.

• Players - commonly don’t engage with the game or their coach on non-training days or in the offseason.

• Coaches - spend too much time caught up in unnecessary bureaucracy rather than focusing on developing players and themselves.

• Administrators - are stuck dealing with outdated, clunky technologies and become the catch-all doers within the club.

• Board Members - are tired of hearing complaints and lacking the data and insight to make intelligent business decisions for the club.

THE IMPORTANCE OF REGISTRATION

8

Page 9: Re-Thinking Signing Up For Soccer by KYCK

WHY IS REGISTRATION IMPORTANT?

9

• It’s the first piece of technology your parents will engage with in the soccer season.

• It’s the first time a parent is exposed to your brand - you are creating a “customer experience”.

• It’s the primary method for collecting accurate information about your members.

• It initiates the flow of funds for the #1 club revenue generator (membership dues).

• It’s an annual process and can be expensive, time-consuming, confusing, and burdensome.

Page 10: Re-Thinking Signing Up For Soccer by KYCK

INDUSTRY FINDINGS ON REGISTRATION

10

• Amongst dozens of companies in the registration space, there is no clear “winner”.

• No one was focusing solely on soccer, the #1 participation sport in the US.

• Most of the technology used to develop existing registration software is north of 10 years old.

• Registering players online had become a necessary commodity, but was delivering little value to organizations. It’s viewed as a cost.

• Absolutely zero value provided to the paying families.

• Parents and Players spending increasingly more time on mobile, but the registration space is not prepared for this paradigm shift.

• No system seamlessly integrated with the “next steps” in managing a soccer season (player carding, uniform ordering, etc).

OUR DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

29

KYCK’s Process for Building New Tools:

1. Identify and synthesize the problem or inefficiency

2. Talk with active users and key stakeholders to better understand the human frustrations

3. Scope the ideal solution - a blueprint for how it should be done.

4. Re-engage the users/stakeholders to solicit feedback on the scope

5. Build focused, lightweight prototypes and test them internally

6. Give access to the prototype to select users and stakeholders

7. Monitor their interaction with the tool and collect their feedback

8. Make changes and improvements and repeat steps 6-8 until we’re satisfied

9. Ultimately delivered to the general public

At our core, we’re a software development company. We take great pride in what we build and how we build it.

No great software has ever been built without incorporating those who will ultimately use it into the development process.

Page 30: Re-Thinking Signing Up For Soccer by KYCK

KYCK partnered with US Club Soccer in 2012 to co-develop a new carding and roster-management platform for their members.

Player data was inconsistent and lacked integrity, the user experience was clunky, it was taking too long to get cards back to members, etc.

We followed our development process* and continue to do so in on-going development on KYCK Play. Here are some of our results….
