Sofive Soccer Centers, one of the largest operators of small‑sided soccer facilities in the United States has selected Square to power its end‑to‑end operations across all 22 locations nationwide, according to the Business Wire announcement. The partnership marks a major technology upgrade for the company as it continues to scale its footprint and meet rising demand for recreational and competitive soccer experiences.

With facilities spanning major metropolitan areas, Sofive offers high‑quality turf fields, leagues, tournaments, youth programs, and training sessions. As participation in soccer continues to surge across the U.S., the company needed a modern, unified commerce platform capable of supporting both on‑site and online customer interactions. Square’s ecosystem will now serve as the operational backbone for bookings, payments, memberships, retail, concessions, and more.

A Unified Commerce Platform for a Multi‑Location Sports Operator

Sofive’s decision to adopt Square reflects the company’s commitment to delivering a seamless, tech‑enabled experience for players, parents, and teams. Through Square’s integrated tools, Sofive can now manage:

Online and in‑person bookings
Memberships and recurring payments
Retail and concessions sales
Staff scheduling and payroll
Customer engagement and marketing
Real‑time reporting across all 22 locations

This consolidation replaces a patchwork of legacy systems, giving Sofive a single, scalable platform that supports both day‑to‑day operations and long‑term growth.

Meeting the Needs of a Rapidly Growing Soccer Community

Soccer participation in the U.S. continues to climb, driven by youth development, adult recreational leagues, and growing excitement around global competitions. Sofive’s facilities serve as community hubs for players of all ages and skill levels, and the company needed a technology partner capable of supporting high‑volume, high‑frequency activity.

Square’s platform enables Sofive to streamline check‑ins, simplify payments, and reduce administrative friction for customers and staff. Whether booking a field, joining a league, or purchasing gear, players can expect a faster, more intuitive experience.

Leadership Perspectives: Technology as a Growth Engine

Sofive leadership emphasized that the company’s expansion requires a modern, flexible commerce system that can scale with demand. Square’s ecosystem provides the operational clarity and efficiency needed to support new locations, new programs, and a growing customer base.

Square’s leadership echoed the alignment, noting that Sofive represents the type of multi‑location, experience‑driven business that benefits most from a unified commerce platform. By centralizing operations, Sofive gains the ability to make data‑driven decisions, optimize staffing, and deliver consistent service across all markets.

Positioned for Continued National Expansion

With Square now powering its full operational footprint, Sofive is positioned to accelerate its growth strategy and enhance the customer experience at every touchpoint. The partnership underscores a broader trend in the sports and recreation industry: operators are increasingly turning to modern commerce platforms to streamline operations, improve customer engagement, and support multi‑location expansion.

As Sofive continues to bring high‑quality soccer experiences to communities across the country, Square will play a central role in enabling the company’s next chapter of scale and innovation.
