Problem identified
Booking sports arenas is time-consuming and tedious. Users struggle to find available facilities, compare prices, and complete bookings — which discourages regular participation in sports.
Challenges faced
Without a centralized platform, users can't easily find nearby arenas, causing frustration and wasted time. Arena owners also lack an efficient system to maximize facility utilization and revenue.
Hypothesis
A user-friendly discovery-and-booking platform will streamline the process and encourage more people to play — increasing engagement and satisfaction while raising facility utilization rates.
Opportunity sizing
A growing demand for convenient sports-facility booking as more people seek ways to stay active — a significant market for easy arena access.
