Inspiration
There was a parent on my team that I coach that thought his kid should be playing more minutes than he was so I wanted to build an app to let him know how his son was actually performing.
What it does
SportsCloud is an app that equips high school, AAU, and rec league programs with a simple way to track game stats and scores in real-time. The app eliminates the annoying pen and paper process of entering team stats into excel and also allows parents to follow games happening live. It also allows scouts and college coaches to see on aggregate the performance of their prospects in high school.
How we built it
We built this app from scratch using Swift and designing our own UI in Sketch.
Challenges we ran into
Usually when we solve one issue it breaks something else.. but that's the nature of coding. I'm proud of my team and what we've been able to accomplish.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to finally allow people to track the scores for multiple sports... not just basketball. Looking forward to allowing people to track stats from other sports too.
What we learned
Building an app is really hard. However, there's no better feeling than seeing your code compile and seeing that the project functions exactly as you expect it to.
What's next for SportsCloud
Reaching out to high schools and AAU programs in the Bay Area so that they can begin tracking the stats of their players in pivotal games.
