BOULDER, Colo. -- It was a nail-biter of a playoff game. The Parker Comets were battling the Dynamite for a chance to go to the Arapahoe Youth League's World Series of Baseball.

For these 13-year old players and their parents, every base hit, strikeout and run was exciting.

Comet team organizer Greg Ostravich was also excited about his team's latest high-tech tool.

"I found TeamSnap through my boss, who found it through a friend," said Ostravich.

The Comet's entire season has been organized by Ostravich. He used Boulder-based TeamSnap to schedule team practices, game locations, fundraising events and even calculate team statistics.

He says organizing no longer requires lengthy phone conversations, wordy e-mails or complicated spreadsheets. TeamSnap's online application updates parents and players via text, e-mails or directly on the Comet's TeamSnap page.

"Being able to text everyone in case of an emergency or to get a hold of people quickly is just great," said Ostravich.

Developers of TeamSnap say the idea started as a way to organize volunteer extracurricular sports teams, and then members started finding other uses for the program.

"Many of our customers use us for their kids' soccer, for their own book club and for maybe another sport besides that," said Dave DuPont, the CEO of TeamSnap.

Word is spreading globally. TeamSnap claims that in just the past year, the start up company has reached over 94 countries and is being used by more than 25,000 different clubs or teams.

DuPont says the goal of TeamSnap is to help volunteers and parents everywhere.

"We're helping them free up time to focus on the activity itself instead and the other things that are going on in their lives," said DuPont.

Denver area book club, The Denver Bookies, has been meeting every month for the past 15 years. Just this year, members took the step to go high-tech and joined TeamSnap.

"The problem for years has been setting up, organizing ways to keep e-mail addresses correct and current and then RSVPing every month," said Denver Bookie Ellen Thompson. Her book club opted to pay a small fee for some added features to make every detail a bit easier.

"We're all working moms. It just makes it easier for us to manage. We're managing less as far as logisitics and able to spend more time reading," said Thompson.

TeamSnap's basic version is free and includes features like team rosters, scheduling and e-mail messaging.

Added features such as payment tracking, photos and statistics are also for a small fee that is charged per team.
