The problems TheCrib solves
Common obstacles tennis coaches face, and how TheCrib fixes them
Tracking individual player rankings alongside team competitions creates scheduling chaos
TheCrib handles both formats simultaneously. Individual player profiles track rankings, match history, and stats. Team ladder competitions run alongside with their own schedule and standings. You manage both from the same interface without merging data that should stay separate.
Court booking coordination across 3 courts and 20 players fills your inbox
Schedule your group sessions in TheCrib with court assignments and player groupings built in. Players receive one notification with their court time and who they're playing with. It goes out once and everyone knows where to be.
Tournament draws built in spreadsheets break when players withdraw
Build single-elimination or double-elimination brackets in TheCrib. When a player withdraws, you update their record and the bracket adjusts. Players receive notifications of their draw and upcoming match times automatically.
Collecting club fees and lesson payments from 30 members takes months
Create payment requests for annual club fees, tournament entry fees, or individual lesson packages. Members pay through Stripe directly in the app. You see payment status across all 30 members in one view and send reminders to anyone behind.
