Hi
I am running a small local table tennis club (about 10 people, all ages) and I wanted to put our schedule online and also keep track who are coming to play and who are not and also help me with messaging (email and sms) in case there are some changes to training schedules. There was some solutions for this that many sports clubs here in Finland uses, but those are either too expensive or polluted with ads and difficult to use.
So as a web developer I started to build own solution for this. It works great for our small case use, but I was wondering if there could be some kind of business here if the application is developed further. Things I am considering are membership payments, creating tournament schedules and handling registration & payments for tournaments, ranking inside club based on games played, player profiles etc...
I am very interested to hear what kind of solutions bigger clubs and associations already use, do they differ per country, is there some pain points you are having and what kind of features are really important. I am very interested if you do management side yourself, but of course happy to hear thoughts from those who just play and participate.
Thanks in advance!
