FOUNDERS NOTE

"As a current youth sports coach and high school basketball official, I've seen firsthand the challenges in connecting qualified officials with the games that need them. StripesFinder was born from a simple belief: technology should make sports better for everyone, from the officials on the field to the kids playing the games. We're building a platform that honors the integrity of the game while empowering the people who make it possible."
