How to make an app for a cricket academy

A cricket academy runs on age groups, nets and matches: who is in the under-14 batch, which net is free at 5, how many runs and wickets a player has in practice matches this season. An app keeps players, attendance, net bookings, match figures and fees together, so coaches pick match teams from facts, not memory.

Who uses the app

The owner and the coaches. If coaches mark attendance at the nets on their own phones, or players book net slots, connect your own Supabase database so everyone sees the same records.

The screens a cricket academy app needs

Players: Search by name; age group, role (batter, bowler, all-rounder, keeper), batting and bowling style, parent's phone
Attendance: Mark the morning or evening batch at the nets; players absent this week
Nets: Net and bowling machine slots by hour, booked by batch or by a player for extra practice
Matches: Practice and tournament matches with each player's runs, balls, wickets and overs
Fitness: Fitness tests each month, such as sprint time and a running test, entered by the coach
Fees: Monthly fees, summer camp fees and paid net hours, paid and due, with a PDF receipt

Features worth asking for

Season figures per player: runs, average, strike rate, wickets and economy, worked out from match entries
Net and bowling machine bookings by the hour, with no double booking
Team picker: players of an age group with their recent figures and attendance
Summer camp players kept apart from regular batches
WhatsApp buttons for fee reminders and match day timings to parents
Kit lent to beginners, and whether it has come back

Where the data lives

If only you use the app, the data stays on your phone and works at the ground without internet. If coaches use it on their own phones or players book nets themselves, connect your own Supabase database; to take fees or net bookings online, connect your Razorpay account too.

Tips for a cricket academy app

Enter match figures the same day from the scorebook; the season numbers are only as good as the entries.
Decide which fitness tests you will repeat every month and keep them the same, so progress is comparable.
Start with players, attendance and fees; add nets and match figures once coaches are used to the app.
If parents sign in, each should see only their own child's records.
Ask for Hindi labels on screens the ground staff use.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't do ball-by-ball live scoring, video analysis or speed guns, and nothing is sent by itself. Coaches enter totals after the match, and messages go out when someone taps the WhatsApp button.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app keep players' batting and bowling figures?

Yes. Enter runs, balls, wickets and overs for each match, and the app works out averages, strike rates and economy for the season.

Can players book a net or the bowling machine?

Yes, with an online database. Players see free slots by the hour and their booking shows on the nets screen.

Can the app do live ball-by-ball scoring?

No. Enter each player's totals after the match from your scorebook.

Can coaches pick a team from the app?

Ask for a team picker that shows an age group's players with attendance and recent figures; the coach makes the final choice.

Can I track kit lent to beginners?

Yes. Ask for a kit list with who has which pads, helmet or bat and since when.

Can parents pay the monthly fee in the app?

Yes, with your own Razorpay account connected along with Supabase. The money goes to you, not AppCub.
