How to make an app for a sports club

A sports club tracks dozens of players across batches, coaches marking attendance on paper, fees due on the 5th and courts booked by the hour in the evening. A sports club app keeps players, attendance, fees and bookings together for the office and the coaches.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

The office and the coaches, and if you want, parents and players. Coaches marking attendance on their own phones, or players booking courts, need a Supabase database so everyone sees the same lists.

The screens a sports club app needs

Players: Each player with age, batch, parent's phone, joining date and level
Batches: Each batch with days, timings, coach and the players in it
Attendance: The coach ticks who came today; monthly attendance per player
Fees: Monthly fees per player: paid, due or overdue, with a WhatsApp reminder
Court booking: Courts or turf by hour for the day, booked or free, with the player's name
Teams: Club teams for tournaments, the players selected and the matches coming up

Features worth asking for

Attendance by batch that a coach marks in a minute
A fees-due list with a WhatsApp reminder that names the month and amount
Hourly court or turf booking with no double bookings
Coach's notes on each player's progress, for parents' meetings
A fee receipt as a PDF
Fees and court bookings paid with a button on the club's own Razorpay account, if you want online payment

Where the data lives

Coaches and the office use it on their own phones, so connect your own Supabase database from the chat with sign-in. For online fees or court payments, connect the club's Razorpay account; the money goes to the club.

Tips for a sports club app

Start with players, batches, attendance and fees; add court booking when the evening slots fill up.
Paste your current player register into the chat to fill the app.
Agree on the fee due date and late rules first, and give them to AppCub as they are.
Keep coach notes factual, such as 'backhand clear improving', and share them with parents only if you want.
Test court booking with your own staff for a week before players start booking.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to attendance machines, gate turnstiles or court lights, and it doesn't message members by itself; the office taps WhatsApp, and the installed app can show the office a reminder at a set time. It is not a live scoring system for matches.
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 coaches mark attendance on their phones?

Yes, once the app has a Supabase database and coach sign-in. Each coach sees their batches and ticks who came.

Can players book a court in the app?

Yes, if the app uses a Supabase database so it knows which hours are taken. Ask for hourly slots for each court and a booking screen for players.

Can parents see their child's attendance and fees?

Yes, with a parent sign-in on a Supabase database. Each parent sees only their own child's attendance, fees and coach notes.

Can players pay monthly fees in the app?

Yes, with a Razorpay button on the club's own Razorpay account, after connecting Razorpay and Supabase. The money goes to the club.

Can the app track a club team in a tournament?

Yes. A teams screen can list the players selected and the matches coming up. For running a whole tournament, a separate tournament app works better.
