Over the last 5 to 6 years I was attempting multiple times to create some simple software for managing a sports club.

I have been engaged in Tae Kwon Do for over 20 years now of which I have been teaching children for more than 10 years. The only record keeping tools we had we simply pen and paper. Every kid get a plus for attending a training session and once they get enough they are ready for a promotion test. Rinse and repeat season after season.

I tried changing this a few times but overcomplicated things quite a bit. Every. Single. Time.

This time I’ll try to do it different. I want to include as many people as possible in the creation and testing process. This way I can figure out from early on what works and what doesn’t.

The initial goal is to have a super simple setup.

You register as a club admin, create your club, add people to the club either as members (coaches, trainees, etc.) or staff (secretary, nutritionist, maintenance, etc), and create training sessions for which you can record attendance.

This will later be expanded to include umbrella accounts for parents to monitor all of their kid’s activities as well as email services to let members know about changes in training plans and similar stuff.

The ultimate goal is to have a platform where you can interact with other athletes and clubs. Create tournaments and other events as well as share your training programs and record progress towards a certain event.

I want to find a way of blending social interaction with physical activity and competition.

Will I succeed? I don’t know but I am happy to try it out one more time.

I hope you’ll join me in creating something special.
