Set the Rules. Know They'll Work.

Define your league's rules, requirements, teams, facilities and surfaces, and available time in plain language. A Spot Check automatically checks whether your rules and requirements can still produce a feasible schedule — before you generate anything.

Know When Your Rules Don't Work.

Tighten a rule too far and SportsPlanr says so straight away — then suggests changes that may help make it work. You find out while you're still setting things up, not after the schedule is published to your league.

Not Just Matchups. The Whole Scheduling Problem.

SportsPlanr Schedules the Reality Around the Games.

A real league isn't a list of independent games. Teams, divisions, facilities, practices, travel, availability, fairness, and scheduling rules all compete for the same limited resources — and every one of them constrains the others.

Teams

Blackout dates · Allowed days and times · Travel windows by division · Preferred scheduling windows · Division assignments and team moves

Facilities & Surfaces

Available time blocks · Surfaces shared across divisions · Availability by surface, event type, and geography · Predefined games and practices

Scheduling

Home and away balance · Fairness across teams · Even start and end times · Days between events · Equal travel loads

Competition

Games · Practices · Playoffs · Cross-division tournament and bracket scheduling

SportsPlanr season settings listing 50 available time blocks by location, schedule type, date, and start and end time
Available time, block by block. One-off or recurring availability for every location, filtered by schedule type — the raw material every schedule is built from.

All of these conditions are considered together.

Any one of them is easy on its own. It's the interaction between them that makes real scheduling hard — so SportsPlanr weighs them as a single problem to decide whether a workable schedule is possible, and to find one when it is.

Travel is part of the schedule.

An away game isn't just a matchup — it's a trip to another centre. Each division sets the days and times its teams are able to travel, and away games are placed inside those windows.

Games and practices. One problem.

Practices aren't scheduled after the games are done. They compete for the same surfaces and the same available time, so they're placed together.

A simple scheduler

  1. Match the teams
  2. Assign times
  3. Publish a calendar

SportsPlanr

Teams · Divisions · Facilities & surfaces · Available time · Practices · Travel · Blackouts · Fairness · Rules

  1. Check feasibility
  2. Solve the whole league
  3. Score the result
  4. Adapt as the season changes

Regenerate in seconds, clone a configuration to reuse it next season, and export the finished schedule to your other systems.

Complexity Under the Hood. Simplicity at the Surface.

That was the problem. These are the capabilities that solve it — you describe what your league needs in plain language, the scheduling engine solves it.

Automated Schedule Generation

Full-season schedules in minutes instead of weeks — constraints, surfaces, and availability handled together.

Spot Check — Automatic Feasibility Validation

Every rule change is checked automatically. When the rules can't work, you get suggestions.

AI Command Centre

Configure rules, requirements, teams, surfaces, and availability in plain language. You confirm every change.

Scenario Comparison

Build several workable schedules for one season; publish the best.

Scheduling Rules & Constraints

Blackouts, allowed days and times, travel limits, and fairness — by team, division, surface, and event.

Multi-Division Scheduling

Divisions aren't solved in isolation — they share surfaces and compete for the same available time.

AI makes the complexity easy to express. The scheduling engine does the hard solving.

How It Works

Set up your season once, then build and compare as many schedules as you need.

1

Define

Your teams, surfaces, and availability — the season set up once — then each schedule’s required and preferred rules.

2

Validate

Every change is automatically checked for feasibility. A Spot Check tells you when rules can’t work, and offers suggestions.

3

Solve

The scheduling engine solves the whole league together. Copy a regular-season schedule to compare options.

4

Adapt

When reality changes mid-season — weather, surfaces, availability — update the conditions and solve again.

Don't Just Generate a Schedule. Know How Good It Is.

Every schedule gets a report card, so you can judge its quality before you publish it — and build more than one option to choose from.

  1. Generate
  2. Evaluate
  3. Compare
  4. Publish

One season. As many schedules as you need. Build several workable options under one season, compare them side by side, and publish the one that works best. You are choosing between real options, not accepting the first answer.

Your Schedule. Ask It Anything.

The Command Centre keeps working after the schedule is built. Ask questions about it in plain language — and change it as the season unfolds.

AI Command Centre

“What is the average start time for teams in the U7 division?”

Average start time: 6:18 PM example
  • How many home games do the Tigers have?
  • Which teams have the most Friday-night games?
  • Which surfaces are used most?

Schedules Change. SportsPlanr Adapts.

Weather, surfaces, teams, divisions, available time, new rules — say what changed and SportsPlanr re-checks that the schedule still works.

  • “Surface 3 is unavailable Saturday.” Updated schedule is feasible
  • “Move the Tigers to the U14 division.” Updated schedule is feasible
  • “Weather cancelled today's games.” Updated schedule is feasible

Our scheduling engine has solved complex multi-city league logistics since 2018 — balancing games, practices, travel, and contended venue time across dozens of sites. Built on top of that proven engine, our modern web platform gives league administrators complete control to build, run, and adjust entire season schedules independently.

We first used SportsPlanr for the 2025–26 SMGHL season, managing a schedule for nearly 60 teams across five leagues, and the time savings were incredible.

The platform made a very complex process much easier, particularly when managing team blackouts and ice allocations across dozens of arenas. We also had countless hard and soft rules to account for, from tournament blackouts to prioritizing earlier game times for younger age groups and later times for older teams, and SportsPlanr handled them seamlessly.

Randy and his team were fantastic to work with. They were responsive, helpful and always willing to support us whenever needed.

Hands down, I would use SportsPlanr again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SportsPlanr scheduling, setup, and pricing.

What sports does SportsPlanr support?

SportsPlanr is sport-agnostic. It works for any sport that uses seasons, divisions, teams, and surfaces — hockey, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and more. The scheduling engine applies your rules and constraints regardless of sport type.

How quickly can a schedule be generated?

Most organizations generate a complete schedule in minutes. Once your teams, surfaces, and constraints are configured, the engine produces an optimized schedule ready for review and publishing. Subsequent seasons are even faster using cloned settings.

What is a Spot Check?

A Spot Check is a quick feasibility check: it tells you whether your scheduling rules and requirements can actually produce a result before you run a full generation. It runs automatically when you change the scheduling rules or requirements and reports whether they are feasible or not feasible — and when they’re not feasible, contextual AI-generated suggestions point you to what to adjust. Starting from a simple, least-restrictive schedule and watching the Spot Check as you tighten the rules means conflicts show up in seconds, so you never over-invest in generating a schedule that was never going to work.

Can I make manual adjustments after the schedule is generated?

Yes. SportsPlanr gives you full editorial control after generation. You can move individual games, adjust surfaces, and edit matchups. If you change the scheduling rules or requirements themselves, a Spot Check re-runs automatically so you know they are still feasible before you generate again.

Can the AI just do the work for me?

Yes. There's an AI assistant on every screen. Across season setup, scheduling rules, scenarios, schedule review, and admin, you can describe what you want in plain language — for example, "add U10 and U12 divisions" or "block the holiday weekend for the Squirt division." The assistant turns your request into a set of proposed changes, which you review and confirm before anything is applied. You can still do everything with the regular forms; chatting is just a faster path.

Does the AI change anything on its own?

No. The assistant only proposes changes — it never applies them automatically. You see a clear summary of exactly what will change and confirm it first, and it only proposes actions you have permission to perform. Nothing is saved until you approve it.

How does tournament scheduling work?

Tournament scheduling uses the same generation pipeline as a regular season, with bracket-specific logic layered on top. SportsPlanr handles bracket structure, seeding, round-robin group play, and game progression automatically. Manual controls are available for final adjustments.

How does playoff scheduling differ from regular season scheduling?

Playoffs use seeded matchups, configurable series formats, and progression-aware structure, so the schedule adapts as teams advance. You get the same generation speed with additional logic specific to playoff structure, while retaining manual control at the game level.

Does SportsPlanr support organizations that run multiple leagues?

Yes. SportsPlanr supports multiple leagues — rep, house, and recreational divisions — within one platform. Resources like surfaces can be shared across leagues, and all scheduling is managed from a single workflow.

What is the difference between the Scheduling and Scheduling + Hosting plans?

Both plans include the full scheduling engine — regular season, tournament, and playoff generation. Scheduling lets you export schedules into your existing website or communication tools. Scheduling + Hosting adds a public-facing schedule website hosted by SportsPlanr.

What happens if a schedule needs to change mid-season?

You can edit individual games or practices at any time without regenerating the full schedule. Rescheduling a game or practice, changing a surface, or adjusting a time slot takes seconds. If you change the underlying rules or requirements, a Spot Check re-runs so you know they are still feasible before you regenerate.

Are there setup or onboarding fees?

Self-serve onboarding materials and email support are included with every plan. For hands-on help during initial setup, an optional Onboarding Assist Session is available as a one-time add-on, priced by team tier and confirmed during your consultation.

How is this different from Fastbreak AI?

Fastbreak AI is a tournament-operations platform, monetised on registration fees. SportsPlanr is season scheduling — placing a whole league's games and practices against shared venues, travel and availability, in any sport. Two differences decide it: Fastbreak does not model leagues that pool teams across member associations, or the eligibility rules a governing body imposes where one applies; and SportsPlanr's pricing is a published annual subscription — the rates are on this page — not a per-registration service fee. If you run tournaments as a business, they are the better fit. If you own a season calendar, we are.

What currency is pricing in?

SportsPlanr bills in CAD, USD or EUR. Your organization's currency is set when it's created, from its location: EUR in eurozone countries, CAD in Canada, USD everywhere else. Prices on this page are listed in CAD, and you can change that above. Billing is annual.
