Visibility

Engagement
Challenges and XP boosts make athletes do something: play, hit your goal, come back tomorrow.

Sponsoring a tournament? Facilities propose them and RecYard arranges the sponsors, so book a call and we will talk it through.
In their profile
On the screen they show off.
After every game each player gets a recap that plays as a story for 24 hours. It glows as a ring around their profile picture on Rise & Reign, and your brand is named in it. Players pin their best recap, so it keeps playing.
- Recaps carry your sponsor line and your challenge, right next to their result.
- Stories are public. Players post them because it is a bragging app, and your name goes with them.
- Photo stickers put your logo on the photos players take on the court.
Coming soon
A verified brand profile inside the app, so athletes can find you and engage with you directly.
Your audience
The people who play.
RecYard runs where people play recreational and youth sports: gyms, rec centers, leagues and private facilities. Two groups of athletes, side by side.
Adults who play rec sports
Drop-in open gym, leagues, ladders and weekend runs. They pay for memberships and league fees, they show up on the same nights, and they come back to climb the rankings.
- Open play and adult leagues
- Ranks from their court to the nation
- Highlights they post and share
Teen athletes in youth leagues
Youth leagues are where habits and loyalties form. Teen athletes live on highlights, rankings and stories, and RecYard gives them a profile, stats and a story to post.
- Youth leagues and team play
- Stats, trophies and Season Grinds
- Recaps and stories after every game
Built for brands that care about youth.Players under 13 cannot sign up. Teens 13–17 play with extra protections: sharing video needs a guardian's sign-off, and analytics never identify them. RecYard reviews every placement before it goes live, and nothing is sold or shared for advertising.
Why RecYard
The place to reach athletes.
Not another feed to buy attention in. A game your audience plays, with your brand inside it.
A moment they are paying attention
Players open RecYard right after a game, for the recap, the stats and the story. That is where your placement lands.
They do something, not just scroll
Challenges and XP boosts reward action. A completed challenge is a real game result, logged by the venue's stat desk and cameras.
It travels with them
Stories are public and players love to brag. Recap lines and stickers go wherever they post.
Your sport, your place, your hours
Target basketball, volleyball, pickleball, soccer or baseball, a local area or the whole country, and the hours that matter to you.
Real courts, real athletes
These players are at an actual court, playing the sport your product is made for. Not a feed of strangers scrolling.
Brand-safe by design
RecYard reviews every placement before it goes live. Nothing about players is sold, and nothing is shared for advertising.
