Honest Answers to Real Questions

We believe in full transparency. Here's everything clubs and families want to know before getting started.

Plaez earns a referral fee from our lending partners when a family's loan is funded. That's it. Clubs pay nothing — not at sign-up, not when families apply, not ever. Our business model is built so that clubs and families always come first.
Families work directly with the lender — not with you. Your club's reputation and relationship with the family is completely protected. We only partner with lenders who offer hardship deferrals and flexible payment plans, not aggressive collections. Your club has already been paid in full and is never at risk.
Your club receives full payment within 3–5 business days of a family's loan being funded. No waiting until the end of the season. No chasing down partial payments. Full fees, upfront, every time.
No. Plaez is a completely optional add-on to your existing process. You keep your current registration system exactly as it is and simply share Plaez as a financing option for families who need it. We provide custom links and printable flyers to make it effortless.
No contract, no commitment, no cost. You can stop participating at any time with no penalty. We earn your continued partnership by delivering real value — not by locking you in.
All youth sports — basketball 🏀, football 🏈, gymnastics 🤸, baseball ⚾, volleyball 🏐, golf ⛳, hockey 🏒, and all other youth sports, including college club teams. Both nonprofit and for-profit clubs qualify. If you have youth athletes and registration fees, Plaez can work for you.
Yes — some of our club partners direct a portion of the platform's activity into their official scholarship fund, helping more families without any out-of-pocket cost to the club. It's a powerful way to extend your community impact and make your scholarship program go further. Contact us at info@plaez.com to learn how to set this up for your organization.
Yes — Plaez connects you with a trusted lending partner who pays your club directly. You repay the lender in manageable monthly installments. We're upfront about this because we believe you deserve to know exactly what you're signing up for.
Checking your rate takes less than 2 minutes and uses a soft credit pull — no impact to your credit score whatsoever. A hard pull only happens if you review your offer and choose to move forward. You're always in control.
We work with all credit backgrounds. We have lending partners for excellent credit, fair credit, and limited or damaged credit — including scores under 550. Everyone deserves a chance to keep their child in the game, and we've built our network with that belief at the center.
Rates range from 8% to 35.99% APR depending on your credit profile and the lender. We always show you your exact rate before you commit — no surprises, no hidden fees. The rate you see is the rate you get.
Registration fees, club dues, uniforms, equipment, and tournament travel costs. Loans range from $500 to $10,000 per application — and you can apply multiple times as expenses come up throughout the season. You don't have to take it all at once.
Repayment terms range from 6 to 36 months depending on the loan amount and lender. Shorter terms mean less interest paid overall; longer terms mean smaller monthly payments. You'll see all your options before making any decision.
Contact your lender directly — they offer hardship deferrals and flexible payment plans. We only partner with lenders who treat families with respect. If you're struggling, reach out early — lenders are far more accommodating when you communicate proactively.
Yes. All data is encrypted with bank-level security. We never sell your personal information to third parties. Your data is used solely to match you with appropriate lending partners and to service your account. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Why We Built Plaez

We created Plaez because we believe every kid should have an easy path to play the sports they love. Sports help children develop self-confidence, leadership skills, communication, and other life skills that last a lifetime. A family or child should never have to worry about affording to play.

Plaez was born from two words: Play + Easy. Because we believe every kid should easily be able to play the sport they love.

Play + Easy = Plaez
