Maya's parent told you on Monday. You did not have to ask.
Built for basketball
Run your basketball academy. Not your back office.
Game day runs on group texts and memory. Put skills sessions, scrimmages and camp days on one schedule. Coaches mark attendance, parents see the plan, and every skill report can wait for your OK.
Included in every paid plan. Coaches are always free.

Six jobs your week needs done
In the order a season runs: schedule, attendance, coaches, levels, messages, money.
Teams and the season
Skills sessions, scrimmages and camp days on one schedule. Parents answer the RSVP, so you know who is on the court.
Attendance and make-ups
Mark the roster in seconds. A missed practice reported ahead can earn a make-up credit.
Coach app
Each coach sees only their own teams. A substitute covers one practice and never sees your money.
Skill levels you can show
Set levels for ball handling, shooting or defence. Coaches add notes and photos; with approval on, nothing reaches a parent before your OK.
Parents' inbox
A court change reaches every family in one message, with quiet hours. One login covers a brother and a sister.
Payments
Season and camp fees run through your own store checkout. The platform fee on sales applies, as on every plan.
Online store
Your basketball academy comes with a full online store
Every plan includes a complete online store beside the academy tools. Families pay fees through it, and you can sell more than fees.
Camp passes
A camp week is a bookable product with its own page.
Skills-session packs
Sell sessions in packs, or one at a time.
Jerseys and gear
Apparel and gear, each with its own page.
Training-video courses
Drills families can follow at home, at their own pace.
Discounts and referral come with Pro and Scale.
Everyone sees only their part
Roles and permissions are part of Academy, not an add-on. This is what each seat can do today. Head coach and assistants use the Coach role. You decide what each one sees.

Can
Their own groups: attendance, progress notes with photos and messages to parents. Parent contact details and other groups only if you allow it.

What a parent sees
Their own children and nothing else: the schedule with a yes or no on each session, planned absences, skill levels and notes. Notes can wait for your OK if you switch approval on.

See plans and pricesQuestions academy owners ask
Is this for a skills trainer or a full club?
Both. A trainer with a few small groups and a club with several teams use the same tools. The plans differ in how many active children you can have.
Can I run camps and tryouts?
Yes, as schedule entries. A camp week or a tryout sits on the schedule like any session, and families answer the RSVP from their own account.
What do parents see?
Only their own children: schedule, attendance, progress notes (held for your OK if you switch that on), messages and announcements. One login covers several children.
Can my coaches see my money?
No. The Coach role has no access to payments, orders, billing or settings. Your coaches are free: they never use a staff seat.
Does it come with an online store?
Yes. Every plan includes a complete online store beside the academy tools. Families pay fees through it, and you can sell products and gear, courses, memberships and subscriptions, and bookable sessions. Discounts and referral come with Pro and Scale.
Can I run more than one gym?
Not yet. Academy covers one location per academy today. Several locations are on our list.
