The problem we solve.

Most youth basketball academies spend hours every week coordinating games — chasing other coaches over text, finding open court time, looking for professional refs. Parents wait, confused, to find out when the next game is, where it's happening, if at all. Most of it lives in someone's head or a group chat. There's no single place where the team, the parents, and the games come together.

How Polyp works.

01

Build your team and tell us when your team wants to play.

Pick the players, the date window, the time of day, the area.

02

We match you with another academy nearby — and we handle the court, the ref, and the scheduling.

You don't chase another coach. You don't book a gym. You don't text a ref.

03

Show up. Play hard. Standings update. Parents see everything in real time.

The game happens. The scoreboard lives in everyone's pocket.

What's included.
