The Problem
Booking court time shouldn’t take five phone calls.
Manual Booking Chaos
Courts and venues are booked via phone calls, spreadsheets, and DMs — double-bookings and no-shows are the daily norm.
No Real-Time Availability
Players can’t see when courts are free. Venues can’t broadcast open slots. Everyone guesses.
Venue Management Blind Spots
Owners lack dashboards for utilization, revenue, and scheduling — running courts on intuition alone.
Fragmented Payments
No unified way to pay for court time. Collections are ad-hoc, inconsistent, and hard to reconcile.
The Opportunity
Build the scheduling layer for local sports.
A zero-to-one platform that unifies availability, booking, and venue management — turning idle court time into effortless, booked revenue.
Centralize court & venue scheduling into one platform
Give players real-time availability and instant booking
Equip owners with dashboards for utilization, revenue & capacity
Unify payments and automate reminders and confirmations
400K+
sports courts & venues across the US — almost all still booked by phone or spreadsheet.
My Role & Process
UX Designer — full-cycle engagement.
I led the design end-to-end — from the first venue-owner interviews and wireframes through to developer handoff and launch — working closely with the founder and dev team throughout.
"K.J. turned a messy scheduling problem into a product our venue partners actually love using. Every flow, every detail."
