Demo Script — Grassroots Teams

"I run a few grassroots football teams. Every week I'm chasing people on WhatsApp — who's in, who's paid, who's on the bench. This app replaces all of that."

1

Create an Event

~2 min
  • Hit + to create a new event — e.g. "Sunday 5-a-side"
  • Set date, time, location (e.g. Powerleague Shoreditch)
  • Toggle Requires Payment → £10 per person
  • Set Max Participants → 10
  • Set Recurring → Weekly
  • Hit Save → event appears on the home screen

"Takes 30 seconds. It's recurring so I only do this once."

2

Add Participants

~2 min
  • Open the event → Add Participant
  • Add a few players by name + phone number
  • Show the "From Contacts" button (if on mobile)
  • Point out the waitlist — anyone over the cap goes to Waiting List automatically

"My squad is already in my phone. I just pick them."

3

Send Invites via WhatsApp

~1 min
  • Select a participant → Send Invite
  • Show the WhatsApp message that lands on their phone — name, event, date
  • Point out the quick-reply buttons: In / Out

"They get a WhatsApp. They just tap In or Out. Done."

4

RSVP Comes Back

~1 min
  • Reply "In" from a test phone (or show it already done)
  • Refresh the participant list — status flips to Confirmed with a timestamp
  • If the team is full, next person goes to Waiting List

"First come, first served. No arguments about who got in."

5

Send a Payment Reminder

~1 min
  • Confirmed players with Pending payment → Send Payment Reminder
  • Show the WhatsApp message asking them to pay

"I used to chase payments manually. Now it's one tap."

6

Event Summary

~1 min
  • Open Summary view
  • Show the FCFS-ranked table: confirmed players in order they replied, waitlist below
  • Show revenue collected vs outstanding

"I can see exactly who's paid, who hasn't, and who's next on the bench — all in one place."

7

Day-Before Reminder

~30 sec
  • Mention the automated day-before reminder goes out to all confirmed players
  • No action needed — it just fires automatically

"The night before the game, everyone gets a reminder automatically."

8

Recurring / Next Cycle

~30 sec
  • After the game, the event resets — RSVPs clear, invites go out again for next week
  • All the same players, fresh slate

"I set it up once. It just keeps running every week."

Closing line

"Everything that used to live across 3 WhatsApp group chats, a notes app, and someone's memory — it's all here."

Total demo time: ~10 minutes
