BagTag
BagTag guide

One physical tag. One verified moment. One local reward.

BagTag helps youth-sports leagues run a Player of the Game program without creating child accounts or turning recognition into a points system. Start high-level, then choose the guide for your role.

The ecosystem

How a BagTag moment moves

The physical award starts the experience; the platform verifies that the digital reward belongs to a real scheduled award slot.

  1. 1

    Coach awards

    A coach gives a physical tag plus that award slot's private handoff code after a game.

  2. 2

    Family verifies

    A parent scans the shared batch QR, chooses the team and game, enters the coach code, then verifies email.

  3. 3

    Reward is issued

    That verified claim creates exactly one entitlement across all available offers.

  4. 4

    Partner confirms

    The family chooses a location; staff confirms once and punches the physical tag.

What BagTag is — and what it is not

Recognition operations
BagTag connects a league's schedule, team, game, award slot, physical batch, family verification, reward, and redemption in one auditable flow.
Not league registration software
It does not register players, collect dues, run rosters, score games, or replace a league's primary schedule system. It imports only what validates an award.
A sponsor-and-partner network
Sponsors help fund the physical program. Reward partners provide the local in-person offer. One business can fill either role, but the jobs are different.
Not a coupon book or points wallet
A player receives one reward total for a verified award. There are no balances, points, cash value, transfers, or repeated use of the same entitlement.
Family-friendly mobile web
Families do not install an app or create a normal account. Email is used to verify and retrieve the award; children are not given platform accounts.
Not individually serialized tags
Tags in a production batch share a stable QR. A separate coach-issued code protects each award slot; BagTag still does not track one specific piece of plastic.
