CivicRoster

CivicRoster is a mobile + web app for community recreation centers to manage drop-in sports and open-gym sessions with real-time capacity, simple check-in, and waitlists. Staff publish today’s schedule (basketball, pickleball, swim lanes, fitness rooms), set caps, and toggle “full” instantly. Players see live availability, join a waitlist, and get notified when spots open—reducing angry walk-ins and front-desk chaos. The app also supports low-friction resident verification (zip code or membership ID), basic incident notes, and lightweight reporting (peak hours, no-show rates, program demand). This is not a fancy “marketplace”; it’s operations software for under-resourced facilities that currently rely on paper sign-up sheets, spreadsheets, and phone calls. Monetization is straightforward: facility subscriptions with optional SMS add-ons and multi-site pricing for city parks departments.
