The club operating system

Run the whole club.
From anywhere.

Sessions, people, bookings, competitions, volunteers, memberships, facilities, payments and club intelligence — connected in one place.

Built first for pickleball clubs that need more than a booking system.

Why this exists

Running a club shouldn't need six different systems.

Bookings in one place. Volunteer requests somewhere else. Registers on a spreadsheet. Payments in another system. Incidents in a form. Competition results somewhere else again.

Then somebody asks how the club is performing, and the answer takes three spreadsheets and an afternoon.

Lobbd connects the operation instead.

One club, in Lobbd
The core idea

One change. Everywhere.

Lobbd is built around one live version of the club, so moving a session is one action rather than six.

  • 1 Move a session once…
  • 2 …and the Calendar changes
  • 3 Bookings follow it
  • 4 Volunteers see it
  • 5 The public Club Page changes
  • 6 Venue availability changes
  • 7 Club Intelligence uses the same data
Where the club actually happens

The club doesn't run from a desk.

Neither should your software. Whether you're courtside, at reception, setting up an event or dealing with something unexpected, Lobbd puts the operation in your hand.

Access

One club.
The right access for everyone.

Volunteer

Help deliver the club.
  • See relevant shifts
  • Claim opportunities
  • Check players in
  • Run assigned sessions
  • Record first aid, incidents or broken equipment
  • Log contribution
  • Complete training
Only sees the operational information they need.

Leader

Run the club day to day.
  • Sessions, players and bookings
  • Volunteers and coaching
  • Competitions and memberships
  • Programmes and vouchers
  • Payments and venues
  • Club Intelligence
Everything needed to manage the club — without access to the organisation's private financial position.

Director

See and control everything.
  • Everything a Leader has
  • Finance
  • Governance
  • Access management
  • Financial intelligence
  • Accounting
  • Organisation-wide controls
The only role that can see what the organisation is worth.

See exactly what they see.

Directors can preview Lobbd as a Volunteer, as a Leader, or as one individual team member — so a permission question is answered by looking, not by guessing.

Volunteers

Volunteers shouldn't need another group chat to run the club.

Lobbd brings shifts, one-off help, training, session delivery and Volunteer contribution together.

Shift claimingHelp requestsYes / Maybe / No Partial availabilityTrainingSession instructions Offline check-inIncident reportingVolunteer hours Contribution historyMilestones

Lobbd can also review access when somebody is no longer actively volunteering — so a club can protect player information without deleting the Volunteer's history.

If a court is occupied, Lobbd knows. If a session moves, Lobbd knows. If something is only an optional offering until somebody books it, Lobbd understands that too.

Club operations

From first booking to final register.

Before

  • Publish sessions
  • Take bookings

People

Know the people who make the club.

Players, members, Volunteers, Coaches and organisers shouldn't live in disconnected databases. Lobbd creates one club identity, then gives each person the roles, capabilities and access they need.

Sensitive information is permission-controlled throughout Lobbd. One person having several roles does not mean everyone can see everything about them.

Competitions

Competition management without another system.

Competition information lives beside the players, courts, bookings and Calendar already in Lobbd — so a draw knows who is a member, which courts are free and who has actually turned up.

For pickleball clubs, Lobbd also handles DUPR — though Lobbd is a club operating system, not a DUPR tool.

Commercial activity

More than club sessions.

A club that sells coaching, hires courts and runs programmes is an organisation, and Lobbd is built for that rather than only for a weekly social.

Coaching

Blocks, one-offs and coach-led programmes, bookable and paid for online.

Court hire

Internal and external hirers, with approval where you want it.

Experiences

Taster days, corporate sessions and one-off events that aren't ordinary sessions.

Private services

Anything bookable that the club charges for.

Programmes

Pathways that run over weeks, with the same people coming back.

Memberships

Plans, credits, renewals and the errands that come with them.

Vouchers

Gift vouchers and rewards, with their own codes and expiry.

Pay links

Take a payment for something that was never a booking.

Club Intelligence

Don't just collect club data.
Understand it.

Lobbd connects the information generated by everyday club activity and turns it into useful answers.

Questions Lobbd is built to answer

Are new players coming back?
Which sessions are growing?
Where are we losing people?
Which sessions regularly sell out?
Are Beginners progressing into regular play?
Which venue has spare capacity?
Are a small number of Volunteers carrying most of the workload?

What Lobbd noticed

Example insight

Friday demand is increasing

Average attendance has increased across four consecutive weeks. Two of the last three sessions reached at least 90% capacity.

Explore →

? Ask Lobbd — Why are Friday sessions getting busier?
Pro

Understand the organisation behind the club.

Directors can connect income, costs and club activity to understand what the organisation is actually doing financially.

IncomeCostsExpensesVenue economics Session economicsGrantsAccountingXero

Finance stays with Directors.

Leaders can still take payments, issue vouchers and run the club's commercial activity without seeing the organisation's finances. Being trusted to run a session is not the same as being shown the accounts.

Where Lobbd comes from

Built with a real club.
Not just for a demo.

Lobbd has been developed around the everyday realities of running a pickleball organisation — bookings, court allocation, competitions, Volunteers, coaching, memberships, facilities and everything around them.

That real-world foundation is why Lobbd goes deeper than a booking platform.

Pickleball is where we're starting.

As Lobbd develops, the core platform is being designed so other sports can eventually use the same club operating system, with sport-specific tools layered on top.

Today, pickleball is the only sport Lobbd supports properly — and we would rather do one well than four badly.

The short version

So what actually makes Lobbd different?

The whole operation

Not just booking.

Built to run from your phone

Not a desktop admin panel squeezed onto a smaller screen.

Access that matches responsibility

Volunteer, Leader and Director.

One live club

Calendar, bookings, people, facilities and websites sharing the same data.

Intelligence built into the operation

Lobbd doesn't just store what happened. It helps you understand it.

Control

Powerful doesn't mean everyone sees everything.

Lobbd uses role, status and capability-based access, so clubs can share the workload without sharing information unnecessarily.

VolunteerAssigned operational information
LeaderManages the club, not private Finance
DirectorFull control

Sensitive information can be restricted further, and a person's status — active, paused, no longer volunteering — changes what they can reach without deleting what they did.

Run the club in one place.

Bring your sessions, people, Volunteers, competitions, facilities, memberships and operations together in Lobbd.
