It began with a question.
We presented the app at two clubs, for several teams at once. The board and the coordinators immediately put one topic on the table: the allocation of pitches.
That ran in Excel. A lot of fiddly work, and the finished schedule went into the WhatsApp group as a picture. Anyone who missed it had to search back through the chat.
Then the groundskeeper joined in, with the question that set everything in motion.
And what if there is a thunderstorm? Can't this be made simpler?
Thunderstorm, heavy snowfall, the council repairing something on the pitch: it often has to happen at short notice. Then the phone chain starts, and somebody never gets reached.
That is how the club add-on came about. Not a new program, but the club layer on top of the app.

What it is
The view from above.
When several teams of a club use the app, pitches, times and approvals come together here. The arrangements that would otherwise go by phone and five other channels stay in the app your coaches already use.
