Why leagues and clubs switch
- Parents Venmo three coaches and still do not know who is paid for Saturday.
- A cash box at the rec-field gate that never matches the volunteer signup sheet.
- Tournament weekend passes sold in one tool and single-game tickets in another.
How rec leagues and travel clubs use Tixoola
Publish a season, a tournament weekend, or a single Saturday game. Parents check out for siblings in one cart. Volunteer parents scan QR codes at the field entrance. Payouts go to the league or club processor—not a third-party merchant you cannot see. High school and college athletic departments should use the school & college athletics page.
Season, game day, and tournaments
- Season passes, single-game tickets, and multi-day tournament types with capacity per type.
- Clone last Saturday’s game so the next home date is live in minutes.
- Separate events for tryouts, jamborees, and travel weekends when those are ticketed.
Parent checkout for multiple kids
- Buy tickets for siblings in one mobile checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- Ticket transfer by email or text when a grandparent is taking one child.
- Purchase limits so a popular tournament game stays fair across families.
Volunteer-run gates
- QR scanning from any parent volunteer’s phone—no extra hardware to train on.
- Manual lookup by name when a family arrives without their tickets.
- Live check-in counts so the board knows who is on the field side of the fence.
League bank account, not a mystery merchant
- Connect Stripe, Square, or Authorize.Net so payouts hit the league or club account you already use.
- Per-event settlement PDFs for the treasurer after a tournament weekend.
Treasurer-friendly reporting
- See season-pass vs single-game mix without rebuilding a spreadsheet.
- Export who paid for Saturday so coaches stop chasing envelopes.
Example: travel tournament weekend
A rec club sells a two-day tournament pass plus Saturday-only tickets, with parents checking out for two kids on their phones.
- Publish a weekend-pass type and a Saturday-only type with field capacity in mind.
- Share one public link in the club app and team emails; parents buy for siblings in a single cart.
- Volunteer parents scan QR codes at two field entrances while a cashless table handles walk-ups.
- Export a settlement PDF Sunday night for the club treasurer.

Youth sports & rec leagues ticketing FAQ
Can parents buy tickets for more than one child in a single checkout?
Yes. Guardians add multiple tickets in one mobile cart and pay once with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card. Transfers by email or text cover a grandparent who is taking one child.
How do tournament weekend passes work next to single-game tickets?
Create a multi-day pass type and separate single-day or single-game types, each with its own capacity. Families who only come Saturday buy the Saturday type; travel teams that stay the weekend buy the pass.
Can volunteer parents run the gate from their phones?
Yes. QR scanning works from a volunteer’s phone with duplicate-aware validation and name lookup when a family forgot their tickets. You do not need dedicated scanners for a rec field.
Can we clone last week’s game instead of rebuilding it?
Yes. Clone the previous Saturday’s event so venue, pricing, and artwork carry over. Change the date and capacity, then share the new link with teams.
Where does the money go—the league account or Tixoola?
Payouts settle to the Stripe, Square, or Authorize.Net account the league or club connects. Tixoola does not hold ticket revenue in a platform merchant account you cannot see.
Is this the same as high school athletics ticketing?
No. This page is for rec leagues, travel clubs, and tournament hosts. High school and college athletic departments should use the school & college athletics page. School dances and PTA nights belong on school events.
