What happens on the intro call?+
A free 15-minute call, one-on-one. You tell me how the club runs today and where the volunteer hours go; I tell you honestly whether it’s a fit and what I’d do first. If the right answer is “don’t hire me,” you’ll hear that too.
Do we have to replace GotSport, PlayMetrics, or TeamSnap?+
No — usually the opposite. Most of the value is in building around the platform you already use: dashboards on top of its data, automations that fill its gaps, and connections to QuickBooks and your communication tools. Almost anything with an API or an export can be connected; I’ll confirm specifics on the first call.
What does the Systems Audit include?+
A map of every system the club runs on and how data actually moves between them, where volunteer time and dues are leaking, and a prioritized roadmap with honest estimates — including anything your current platform can already do that nobody has turned on. Fixed fee from $1,500, done in one to two weeks, and the document is the club’s to use with anyone.
What does a build cost a club?+
A focused build — one well-scoped tool or integration — runs $10k–$30k over 4–6 weeks. Bigger multi-phase work runs $30k–$60k over 8–12 weeks. Every project is a fixed fee agreed up front, so the board approves a number, not an hourly meter.
We run on volunteers. Who maintains this?+
It’s built for hand-off: documentation, a walkthrough, and software your non-technical volunteers actually use. Most clubs keep a small monthly retainer for fixes and improvements, but that’s optional — the point is to reduce volunteer hours, not add a system someone has to babysit.
Can’t someone on the board just build this with AI?+
Maybe — and if I think you can, I’ll say so on the call. AI tools are genuinely good at prototypes. Where they stall is production: payments, real family data, integrations with your registration platform, and the edge cases that show up when 800 families hit the system in registration week. That gap is exactly the work I do.
Who owns the code when it’s done?+
The club does — full ownership transfers, and the IP terms are spelled out in the engagement letter before any work starts. It survives board turnover, and the audit roadmap is yours even if you never hire me to build it.
Do you only work with soccer clubs?+
Soccer is where I’m focused, but the same problems show up in volleyball, baseball, swim, and every other club sport: registration, dues, rosters, fields, and volunteers. If that’s your club, it’s a fit.
Do we have to be in DFW?+
No — everything works over video. But I’m based in Burleson, and for DFW clubs the audit and working sessions can happen in person — at your office or your fields.
