Adult rec league manager
Schedules, payments, subs and standings for adult sports leagues, without the spreadsheet.
Network effects Spreads by itself Seasonal
Adult kickball, volleyball and softball leagues are often run by one volunteer with a spreadsheet and a group chat. Collecting fees, finding subs and rescheduling rainouts eats their evenings.
This app handles sign-ups, payments, schedules and standings, and finds subs from a waitlist with one tap. Organizers start free; players pay a small fee at sign-up, or organizers pay monthly for extras.
