Software for dodgeball clubs: kit orders, payments and player progress

dodgehub was not designed in a boardroom. It was built by a dodgeball player who got tired of being the person who organises the club's hoodies every season. The first version solved one problem for one club. Then it was kept generic enough for other clubs to use too, and it grew from there.

Today the app is used by dodgeball clubs and organisations across Europe, including Tyrol Turtles, Dodgeball Luxembourg and the German Dodgeball Association. That does not make it a giant platform. It is still a small, independent project, so the person reading your feature request is the person who builds it.

A dodgeball club's year follows a rhythm, and so does its admin. Here is how that rhythm maps onto dodgehub:

• Pre-season: the kit order

  Open a session for the new playing jerseys with size, name and number fields, and let new players join through the club's join link. Learn more about the club shop.

• In-season: merch and tournaments

  Run a short hoodie or fan-shirt round before a home tournament and let supporters buy through a guest link. See guest and external orders.

• Ongoing: payments

  Track who has paid for each round and send one reminder to everyone who has not. Read about tracking member payments.

• Mid and end of season: evaluations

  Run committee evaluations, show radar charts and give players written feedback with the progress tracker.

Dodgeball is a tournament sport, and tournaments create their own admin: matching shirts for the travelling squad, merch to sell on the day, and a stack of small payments. Because an order session has a hard deadline, you can time a round to close before the supplier's cut-off for a tournament, and the totals by product tell you exactly what to order.

If your club sends several teams, for example a men's, women's and mixed squad, product fields such as size and number are collected per player, and managers can filter the order list by session to keep the squads apart.

Many dodgeball clubs mix newcomers who come for the social side with competitive players who train for national and international events. dodgehub accommodates both. Everyone can order from the club shop and see their own orders, while the progress tracker can be limited to the people who want to be evaluated: members can be hidden from the tracker roster without leaving the club, and visibility of results is configured by the club.

To keep expectations realistic: dodgehub does not schedule matches, generate tournament brackets, keep league tables or handle membership fees. Those jobs belong in the tools your league or tournament organiser already uses. dodgehub focuses on what happens around the court: ordering, paying, joining and developing.

Dodgeball clubs run on people who have day jobs. That is why the app is available in English, German, French and Spanish, works on a phone at the side of the court and lets you hand over responsibilities cleanly: one owner, managers who run the shop and members who order.
