DSE RecCenter - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Located in Boston, MA, and serving the recreation industry since 2007, DSE Rec provides DSE RecCenter, its tailored recreation management software, to schools and organizations of all sizes across the country. Designed by recreation professionals and supported by a dedicated team of 25 employees, DSE Rec offers user-friendly software backed by fast and attentive customer support to help you boost user engagement.

DSE Rec believes in serving the uniqueness of each client. Unlike the "one size fits all" approach, the company collaborates with each client to deliver a product that fits their needs. DSE RecCenter is a one-stop shop that allows clients to choose only the modules they require, with the flexibility to tailor each module to their specific needs.

DSE RecCenter is fully modular. You select only the modules you need and configure each to match how your department operates, with no custom development required, so most teams can go live within days with a system tailored to their workflows. Available modules include:
