The RAMP alternative for Canadian sports clubs

If you are weighing RAMP for your Canadian club, here is the honest difference: most registration platforms are software a volunteer operates. SideKrew is a crew of AI agents that does the work — chasing every household to a completed registration, repairing the schedule when a slot falls through, and organizing team travel. You approve the decisions; the crew handles the busywork. No payment markup, no ads, bilingual English and French.

What RAMP is known for

RAMP is an established Canadian registration and league-management platform, widely used by minor-sports associations across the country.

RAMP is known as a long-standing Canadian option for registration, scheduling, and league administration, with deep roots in amateur sports organizations.

Where SideKrew is different

The wedge is simple: RAMP and most tools in this category are software your volunteers run. SideKrew is a crew of AI agents that does the registration, scheduling, and travel admin for them — with no payment markup, no ads, a transparent subscription, and a bilingual English/French experience designed around Canadian privacy and child-safety law.

Switch in a weekend — the agents do the migration

SideKrew's migration concierge turns leaving RAMP into a supervised dry run: bring your exports, the agent crew maps people, teams, and registrations, flags possible duplicates, and shows you exactly what would change — nothing is written until your administrator approves it. It is designed so a club can complete the move over a single weekend, with a plain-language cutover plan for the board and a parallel-run window so nobody loses a season.

The switching-season offer — first 25 clubs

Clubs switching from another platform this season get the agent-run migration free, plus their first SideKrew season free. The offer is capped at the first 25 clubs.

Offer available to the first 25 eligible clubs that switch from another club-management platform during the 2026 switching windows; one first-season subscription per club. Stripe payment-processing fees are always passed through at cost and are not part of any offer.
