For sports academies and coaching centres

Run the academy off one page, not three registers

For cricket academies, badminton centres and multi-sport coaching set-ups where admissions live in one register, fees in another and attendance in a third. Coaching sessions go on a page, term fees are collected up front, and each student's progress notes live on a record parents can trust you to have.

Free plan, no card and no call. One flat monthly price when you upgrade, zero commission on payments, cancel yourself in the app.

Who this is for

Written for the way sports academies actually run

Cricket academies running morning and evening coaching sessions
Badminton and tennis centres selling coaching alongside court time
Academies where fee collection means calling parents every month
Coaches who track a hundred students across three paper registers

What operate1 replaces

A booking tool, a payment link, a client spreadsheet and a reminders routine, folded into one account at one flat monthly price.

Zero commission on every plan. You connect your own payment account and the money settles to you; we charge the subscription and nothing else.

Three things that go wrong every week

Term fees are promised at admission and collected in pieces, and every month a coach becomes a collection agent calling parents.

The term or the monthly coaching block is sold as a prepaid package on your page, paid in one online payment before the first session. Enrolment and collection happen together.

A parent asks how their child is progressing, and the honest answer lives in the head coach's memory of two hundred students.

Each student has a record: sessions attended, payments made, and the coach's notes on technique and progress. The parent conversation starts from something written down.

One-on-one coaching slots, trial assessments and the head coach's time are booked over phone calls that interrupt the very sessions being coached.

Trials, assessments and 1:1 coaching slots are bookable services on the page with real availability. Parents book the Saturday assessment themselves while the coach stays on the pitch.

How it works

How a booking runs here

Programs and sessions on the page
A trial assessment, a 1:1 coaching slot, a monthly or term coaching package at your fee. Each batch timing listed as its own service so the schedule is public.
Parents book without calling
Availability comes from your coaching hours and closed days. The Sunday trial slot is booked from a phone at 9 pm without anyone at the academy answering it.
Fees paid before the term starts
UPI, card or net banking through the academy's own Razorpay account, with zero operate1 commission on every plan.
Every student gets a record
Sessions, payments, age group, and coaching notes per student. Email reminders at 24 hours and 2 hours go to the parent's inbox.

What you get on day one

Term fees as prepaid packages

Sell the month or the term at your fee, collected up front in one payment. No instalment chasing across the season.

Batches and 1:1 slots on one schedule

Morning batch, evening batch, trial assessments and private coaching slots, each a service with honest timings.

A record per student

Attendance history, payments and the coach's progress notes against each student, owned by the academy.

Fees into the academy's account

UPI and cards at booking. Parents get a clean payment trail; the academy stops handling cash.

Every coach, one flat price

Add all your coaches without per-seat charges. Each can have their own bookable sessions and hours.

Enrolment and revenue, visible

Which program, batch and coach bring the revenue, read from real bookings rather than a register.

Not built yet, named plainly

What academies ask about that is not built yet.

Batch capacity limits and waitlists. Each bookable slot is one booking today, so the page cannot yet cap a batch at 30 students.
Court or lane booking as a resource. Availability is per coach today, not per court, so run one calendar per court if you rent them out.
Recurring fee auto-debit. Packages are prepaid; renewing a term means buying again.
WhatsApp reminders to parents and Hindi or regional-language pages. Email and English today; both are on the roadmap.

Questions sports academies ask us

Can parents book a batch with 30 other students in it?

The page cannot enforce a batch headcount yet; each bookable slot is one booking. Academies list batch timings as services, sell the term as a prepaid package, and manage batch strength themselves. Capacity management is on the roadmap.

How do term fees work?

As prepaid packages. A parent pays the monthly or term fee once, up front, through your own gateway account, and the payment sits on the student's record. Auto-debit renewals are not built.

Can we rent out courts through this too?

You can list a court hour as a service with its own price, but availability is tracked per coach or calendar, not per physical court. Many centres run one calendar per court; a true court-resource view is not built yet.

Do reminders go to the parent or the student?

To whichever email is on the booking, which for minors is almost always the parent's. Reminders go out at 24 hours and 2 hours before the session, unmetered on every plan.
