Customer Case: Game on Philly! by Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative (PYSC)
About PYSC
Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative (PYSC) is committed to supporting Philadelphia’s sports-based youth development (SBYD) community at all levels - from the citywide system to the individual youth participants. PYSC created a 5-year initiative called Game on Philly! that aims to give every child in this city access to sports programs.
PYSC’s Challenge
Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, PYSC wanted to provide students an opportunity to stay active while staying safe. PYSC knew the life-changing benefits of sports and wanted to be able to provide sport lessons and equipment to every student in Philly.
The MilkCrate platform was a perfect way for PYSC to design and launch an app for students to stay active and have access to sports programs during this time. MilkCrate’s app building platform provided ready-to-go templates for activities, communication, and participation tracking as students used the app to learn and log their activities.
How MilkCrate Helped PYSC
MilkCrate developed an app to allow students to participate in a summer camp in the comfort of their homes. Students were able to access resources, log in their hours, complete challenges to win prizes, and connect with other members within the program.
Client Testimonial
"We're very excited to launch the mobile app. It provides an opportunity for us to engage visitors and educate parents about the power of unstructured play and its impact on the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of children."
- Frances Hoover, Executive Director of Smith Memorial Playground and Playhouse
