Every feature was built because someone needed it. These are the stories of organizers, players, and communities who stopped fighting their tools and started enjoying their football.

From Chaos to Clarity
Real organizers share how Balla Stats transformed their football management.
The Sunday League Admin
From 6 hours a week to 30 minutes
Marcus loved football. What he didn't love was the six hours a week he spent managing his Sunday league in spreadsheets and WhatsApp chaos.
The Corporate Cup Organizer
Finally got to watch her team win
Sarah's annual 16-team company tournament was the most popular event at work. It was also her biggest headache - until she stopped managing PowerPoint brackets.
The Pickup Game Coordinator
Never asks for money anymore
David started organizing pickup football three years ago. What began as a WhatsApp message became a weekly event - and a weekly headache of headcounts and money chasing.
The Youth Academy Coach
Shows a player's journey from U13 to U17
Coach Thompson runs a youth football academy with U13, U15, and U17 teams. Each plays in a different league. Tracking player development across age groups was nearly impossible.
The Football Club Administrator
Reports that actually mean something
Jennifer manages Kingston FC with 12 teams across age groups and skill levels. When the president asked "how did we do this month?", she spent half a day compiling data from twelve different sources.
Match Day Morning
The difference between organizing the old way and using Balla Stats.
The Old Way
WhatsApp & Spreadsheets
Stress: High
Enjoyment: Diminished
With Balla Stats
Organized & Automated
Stress: Zero
Enjoyment: Maximum
Wake up, check WhatsApp. 23 new messages. 3 confirmations, 2 cancellations, 18 questions.
Wake up, check app. 16 confirmed, 2 tentative. Game is definitely on.
Count heads manually. 11 confirmed, need 14. Start chasing the "maybe" people.
Shower, breakfast. No messages to respond to. Everyone has the info they need.
Arrive at turf. 8 people there, 3 more "on the way." Turf is paid for whether we play or not.
Arrive at turf. 15 people there. Teams already balanced from registration. Tap "Start Match."
Match ends. "Who scored the third goal?" "What's the turf cost again?" Chase money from everyone.
Tap "End Match." Stats recorded. Check cost split - $6.67 per person. Mark paid as Zelles come in.
Still calculating: "Turf was $100, so $10 each... wait, only 9 played... $11.11 each." Awkward asks.
Head home. Share match recap to Instagram. Done.
Moments That Matter
Sometimes it's the small things that make the biggest difference.
The score was 3-3 in the league decider. In the 89th minute, the ball bounced around the box. Three players claimed they scored the winner. But Marcus was tracking the match in Balla Stats. He'd tapped "Goal - James" at 89 minutes when it happened. Official. Timestamped. Done. Two weeks later, that goal won James the Golden Boot by one.
Carlos had run his amateur league for seven years. His Excel file was legendary - and terrifying. Twelve sheets, conditional formatting from 2019, formulas nobody understood. When the file corrupted, Carlos lost two months of standings data. In desperation, he signed up for Balla Stats. By week three, he realized he hadn't opened Excel once. By month two, he deleted the spreadsheet.
Priya's company tournament was always chaos. 16 teams, 300 employees invested in the outcome, and Priya somehow expected to also play while running it. This year, she set up the tournament in Balla Stats, assigned two colleagues as match recorders, and gave them admin access. On tournament day, Priya played every match her team had. Her team won the final. For the first time in four years, Priya was there for it - as a player, not an organizer.
