Built by coaches who happen to be parents. Built because clipboards weren't
cutting it.
GameOn! is built by a small group of parents (who happen to be tall) and youth-sports
coaches who were tired of juggling spreadsheets, stopwatches, and substitution notes.
We wanted something better — so we built it.
(And yes, two founders really are named Chris. We're rolling with it.)
Christopher Smylie
Co-Founder
Chris S has coached multiple youth soccer teams and served as a director for one
of the region's largest soccer organizations. Before that, he worked within one of
the area's major entertainment and gaming groups, which shaped his talent for
sleek, clean UI design.
His experience running soccer programs — and always channeling his inner Arsène
Wenger — made it clear that youth sports needed better tools. GameOn! was created
to fill that gap.
Christopher Palmieri
Co-Founder
Chris P brings a lifelong passion for sports along with real-world experience
running a healthcare software company. He has a natural knack for design, clean
workflows, and turning messy ideas into streamlined features coaches actually want
to use.
Picture Doc Brown if he traded the DeLorean for Figma — that's what we have with
Chris.
(Again — no, we don't only hire people named Chris.)
Nicholas Palmieri
Co-Founder
Nick's background spans sports & entertainment, finance, analytics, and team
operations. He has coached multiple basketball and soccer teams, and today he
serves as a league director for one of the region's fastest-growing girls'
basketball organizations.
His commitment to fairness, development, and real-time game management and
analytics helped shape the mission behind GameOn! What makes this even more
special, he was our first hire not named Chris.
