About

I coached a youth team to a 60-second practice plan — and a court-access problem that needed solving.

CourtPlan started in a rec-league gym where the only thing harder than drawing up a play was finding a court to run it on. Here is why we built it, and what we are building toward.

How CourtPlan started

The first practice I ever coached was for a 7-and-8-year-old rec team, and I spent more time the week before chasing gym time than I did planning what to teach the kids. I emailed four facilities, texted two parents, and ended up running my first session in a half-court with no out-of-bounds. The drills I had scribbled on a napkin were fine. The court was the problem.

That pattern repeated every season for the next several years: volunteer coaches fighting for slots, parents trying to book a court for their kid's pickup game with no good tool, and facility operators with empty 3-to-6 PM weekday hours they could not fill because nobody knew they were open. The same broken coordination problem on three sides of the same transaction.

CourtPlan is what I wished existed on that first night of practice. A platform where parents find open court slots and book one in 30 seconds, where coaches get an instant notification plus a ready-to-run practice plan for that session, and where facility owners fill the hours that used to sit empty. We started with the practice plan — because that is what coaches need tonight — and we are building out the court-booking layer the same way: one real problem at a time, with coaches in the loop.

Our mission

CourtPlan exists to make sure no volunteer coach ever walks into a gym unprepared — and no parent ever gives up on a basketball idea because finding a court was harder than running the drill. We build one tight tool that gives every youth coach a real, age-appropriate practice plan in 60 seconds, and we are extending that same tool to the court-access problem that surrounds it.
