A schedule validated against your hard constraints
Every game placed against your actual venue inventory, team availability, and league rules, with the remaining tradeoffs clearly surfaced and explained, not hidden behind a generic round-robin.

What you get
A finished schedule. A real point person. Accountability.
A real point person
You get a dedicated scheduling contact for the season. Email them with a change request and a human handles it, not a ticket queue.
We own the outcome
Every schedule is reviewed by experienced schedulers before it ships. If we miss a confirmed hard constraint, we treat it as ours to fix.
Exports that fit your workflow
We hand off in the formats your platform uses: Sport stats systems, calendar feeds, printable PDFs, spreadsheets. You don't change how you publish.
How we work
From assessment to a schedule you can stand behind
Scheduling assessment
A 30-minute working session to map your league: format, venues, blackouts, the constraints that always cause trouble, and the politics nobody writes down. No pitch, no commitment.
Prepare & validate inputs
We collect and validate your venue inventory, team availability, blackout dates, scheduling commitments, and constraint rules, and tell you what's missing and what's likely to break.
Build & review
Our schedulers build against your real constraints (multi-venue, multi-division, travel limits, rest gaps, day-of-week preferences) and review the tradeoffs with you before anything is final.
Approve & publish
You approve the schedule, we produce the exports and integrations your platform needs, and we make the handoff explicit so everyone knows what is now live.
Agreed season support & review
Through the season, your scheduling contact handles the agreed reschedules and exceptions, and we document your league's preferences and how they were applied, so the next build starts from a confirmed record instead of a blank page.
Who this is for
A good fit when scheduling is real work
Good fit
- Your schedule depends on shared venue inventory (rinks, fields, courts, diamonds) with limited slots.
- You have constraints generic tools can't handle: travel rules, division-specific play, rest gaps, team-by-team preferences.
- You have league politics or stakeholder pressure that needs human judgment, not an algorithm.
- You've burned out building schedules in spreadsheets and lost evenings to mid-season reschedules.
- Your league has 12+ teams, multiple venues, or a multi-division structure.
Probably not a fit
- A simple 8-team round-robin with one venue and no constraints. Try our free generators instead.
- Leagues looking for the cheapest option. We're not the lowest-priced choice; we're the one that ships a clean schedule.

Specialists vs. generic software
Why generic scheduling software hits a wall
Software treats scheduling as a calculation problem. Experienced schedulers know it's a judgment problem. The hard part is never placing games. It's making the right tradeoffs when the constraints conflict.
Generic scheduling software
- You operate the tool yourself
- Hard limits on which constraints fit the rules engine
- Mid-season changes cascade into broken downstream games
- No accountability when something breaks
- Politics, exceptions, and judgment calls don't fit
LeagueNav specialists
- We operate it for you
- Bespoke constraint logic for your league's reality
- Mid-season changes handled cleanly across the cascade
- A real point person owns the outcome for the season
- Judgment calls happen in conversations, not config screens
The same software our specialists work in is also available to a capable internal operator through LeagueNav Co-Pilot, on select engagements. Explore Co-Pilot.
What's in scope
A clear line around what we own
Managed engagements are bounded, not open-ended. Here's the shape of a typical scope. The exact numbers are written into your proposal.
Initial build
The full season schedule, built and validated against your agreed hard constraints.
Review cycles
An agreed number of review-and-revise rounds before you approve and publish.
Publication outputs
The exports, integrations, and formats your publishing platform needs.
Communications
Where agreed, we handle the scheduling-related communications; otherwise your team owns them.
Change allowance
A defined allowance of in-season changes is included; volume and terms are set in the quote.
Post-publish support
Agreed in-season support for reschedules and game-level exceptions.
Major rebuild boundary
A wholesale mid-season rebuild is scoped separately. We're explicit about where that line sits.
Rush & late inputs
Compressed turnaround and late-arriving inputs are handled, and scoped, up front.
We validate against your agreed hard constraints, with the remaining tradeoffs clearly surfaced, not a “set it and forget it” black box.
Pricing & fit
Quoted by season, priced by complexity
Our specialists own the scheduling delivery within an agreed scope. You get a finished schedule, validated against your agreed hard constraints, with remaining tradeoffs clearly surfaced.
What sets your Managed price
- Games and teams
- Divisions and facilities
- Source-data quality
- Constraint complexity
- Scheduling commitments
- Required turnaround
- Review cycles
- Publishing responsibility
- Communications responsibility
- In-season support
- Likely major rebuilds or late changes
Every engagement starts with a Scheduling Assessment. We'll scope the work, put the price in writing, and tell you honestly if a simpler option, including our free tools, would serve you better.

Common questions about managed scheduling
You hand us the inputs (venues, teams, blackouts, rules) and we deliver a finished schedule. A dedicated scheduling contact owns your account for the season and handles change requests directly. You stay in control of league decisions; we own the scheduling work.
Software gives you a tool and leaves you to operate it. Generic scheduling software typically can't handle the layered constraints, league politics, and mid-season chaos that real operators deal with. Managed scheduling means a specialist sits in the scheduler's chair for you. Placing games is only part of the hard work. The rest is making tradeoffs, and tradeoffs require judgment.
Managed engagements are quoted by season. The quote is driven by the number of games and teams, venues and divisions, constraint complexity, required turnaround, in-season support, and publishing and communication responsibilities. We scope it during a free scheduling assessment and give you a concrete number before any commitment.
Fast enough for the season you are in. You get a delivery date in writing during the scheduling assessment, before anything is committed, and we hold to it. Mid-season builds move faster: the affected games are reworked against your constraints, not the whole calendar.
We've scheduled across hockey, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, lacrosse, and more. If your league has venues, teams, and time slots, we can schedule it. Hockey is our deepest expertise. It's where the company started.
Your dedicated contact handles change requests through the season. We rework the affected games against your constraints rather than just shifting one game and breaking three others downstream. Every engagement includes a defined in-season change allowance. We set the volume and terms when we quote, so it's clear what's covered and where a major rebuild is scoped separately.
We've sat in that chair. The difference is that we do this for a living, across many leagues, with consistent processes and a platform built for it. A part-time contractor with a spreadsheet can work for small leagues. As the league grows, the spreadsheet becomes the bottleneck and the contractor becomes the single point of failure. Our model removes both.
Often, yes. If your league has straightforward inputs, we can put together a sample schedule from your real data so you can see how we'd handle it. Mention it on the scheduling assessment.
