Recreational Futsal Platform

The basic premise behind this is to create a platform where people can sign up for local futsal matches. This seems fairly straightforward and on a high level it boils down to a couple steps/requirements: 

1. Get permits/ the rights to book out a futsal field or an indoor basketball court for some time. 

2. Equipment (pennies). 

3. A platform or method of booking games. This needs a simple design and allows members to get simple directions on how to get to the game upon signing up. It also needs the capability to pay. 

4. Marketing. We need to tap into networks of football/soccer/futsal lovers. It will help to have an audience of my own but there are definitely local groups that I can tap into. Hopefully I can build out my YouTube channel to make this a possibility. 

Games will be small futsal scrimmages in teams of 5-6 depending on the size of the venue. Two-hour time slots will see 3 teams rotating in time slots designated by the manager present. 

Some things to build out once I get the ball rolling: 

1. Filming games/ giving participants the option to buy recordings of the games. They will need to indicate this beforehand so we can record it because it will probably be costly to record every game if people don't want it. 

2. A rating system so people can filter matches based on their skill level. 

3. Managers who can help oversee games and get paid for it. 

4. A pseudo-scouting system where you can recommend certain players above a set level to local teams (based on age). 

5. The ability for people to create "teams" directly on the platform and then have the captain sign up for games. This will be better if there is enough demand to expand to full 11v11 games. We can maybe test this out for smaller futsal games where it's only two teams. Even if it's a 5v5 game, teams will need a roster of around 8 because people will get tired.
