I built a site to run tennis leagues. We have started in the bay area with 210+ matches taken place since February when it launched. Most other sites that try to do this look like they are built in the 90s and have little support for modern features like communicating via Whatsapp or decent mobile support. It could also be extended to other (racket) sports later. People pay a $20 fee for each league, which is about 8 matches in 8 to 10 weeks. http://www.racketlogger.com http://www.racketlogger.com
The goal is to scale it across the US (and beyond, to any english-speaking area). Doing cost-effective marketing is key. How do we get the word out? How do we improve the site and experience so much that players tell their friends?
We put effort in SEO building a large database (the largest?) of string and racket specs with the goal of attracting some of the core fans of the sport (we started to get some clicks a day). There are a ton of other "social" and related ideas, the question is how to select which one(s) will work best.
- ismail 11y agoHey, here are my thoughts: Where do tennis players meet? Where do they hang out? Are there online/off line spots you find them hanging out at? How are these leagues formed? Where are they formed? i would answer these questions and then focus aquistion around the answers.

- 3Dpuzzlepiece 11y agoThe concept is awesome - I would definitely check this out when it becomes available in Texas, but navigating through the website is a little confusing. It is hard to figure out where to go, where to sign up, and how everything works. Can the site/software be integrated or customized? There are lots of tennis clubs that could use racketlogger to organize their leagues and fill up empty time slots for their courts. I wonder if you could also partner with gyms and fitness facilities.
