Booking app for sports fans

Using the app users can search and reserve sports fields and create a sporting event for people in their area. The system currently only works in the Warsaw area. The idea for BallSquad was created by a professional basketball player and a sports enthusiast from two different cities. “We realised that the main problem is not a lack of playing fields or free hours but the lack of a single marketplace with full information about all the sports fields in the area where online bookings could be made. Even when we were able to find a place after a long search, we had problems making reservations since it took a long time to sign contracts and no one wanted to make a contractual commitment,” says Walid Barsali, the CEO of BallSquad. “Our app is not specifically designed for a single group of users as we want to open sports fields up to everyone,” he adds. The app has been out sincee May 2018. “Since then we have been collecting feedback from our users so that we can develop a native app for iOS and Android, with many more features to improve access to sports facilities and to help solve the problem of finding like-minded people willing to come and play together. The native app should be available in a few months time,” he claims.
