🏸About Thwok

Racket sports
made simple.

Most of the effort in racket sports goes into things that are not racket sports. Registers, group chats, bank references, whiteboards. Thwok exists to make that effort disappear, so that more people play, more often, and enjoy it more.

Three things we believe.

They are also the three tests every screen has to pass before it ships.

1SimpleThe smallest thing that fully works.

Every job on Thwok is one obvious path and one tap. If an organiser needs a laptop, a printer or a spreadsheet, we have failed. A ten-year-old should be able to use every screen unshown.

2For everyoneFirst swing to first final.

Beginners' sessions are called beginners' sessions. Levels start wherever you are. Nothing is read by colour alone, nothing is under 15px, and a fifty-year-old can read it courtside at night.

3FunThe shuttle goes thwok. So should the app.

Sport is play. Fair rotation so nobody sits out twice, scores that mean something, badges kids actually want. The admin disappears so the playing is all that is left.

The mission, in one line.

More people playing racket sports, more often, with less in the way.

What we promise.

We never hold your money.

Payments go straight from the member to the club, or the parent to the academy. No wallets, no top-ups, no balance with us.

We never invent availability.

A free court on Thwok is a free court. Every count comes from a live calendar, or it is not shown.

We never ask you to type data in.

Download a template, choose the file, check the grid, confirm. Nobody pastes a register into a box.

We say what is live and what is coming.

Every promise on this site is a shipped feature. Venues are opening next, and the page says so.

Made by people who play.

Thwok started at a Tuesday club session in south-west London, where the organiser was running the register on paper and the money on a spreadsheet. We built it for that club first, then for the academy down the road. It is still built one real club at a time.

Come and play.
