Court Finder

Volleyball venue directory for tournament families

About Court Finder

Built for tournament parents

Court Finder is part of the Forward Foundry venue platform. The goal is simple: help families understand a venue before arrival with faster maps, context, and venue-specific planning notes.

How we think about venue pages

Official venue pages are often incomplete for tournament families. We focus on the questions parents actually ask on the way to a gym.

That means surfacing likely entry issues, parking patterns, seating context, nearby essentials, and maps in one place.

When summaries appear, they should be read as planning context derived from source material, not as official venue policy.

FAQ

Where do you get your info?

Court Finder reads from the shared Forward Foundry venue platform. That data combines canonical venue records, source organization pages, Google Places details, and review-derived venue context where available.

What do the summaries on each venue page mean?

Venue summaries are context layers, not official venue statements. They synthesize available source metadata and review patterns so parents can scan likely parking, entry, seating, and food issues faster.

How do I report an error?

Use the Tip Jar form on this page to capture the correction details now. The UI is ready, and the next backend step is connecting those validated submissions to a moderated inbox.

Can I save venues?

Yes. The current release supports saved venues on your device. The recommended next step is an email magic-link lookup so the same saved list can work across devices without a full password account.

How fresh is the data?

Venue pages are statically generated for SEO and revalidated on a short interval. Each detail page should also show source context and review freshness when that metadata exists.

How feedback and saved venues should evolve

The right long-term flow is an email-required Tip Jar that stores venue-specific feedback in `ff-venues`, with moderation before anything becomes public.

For saved venues, I recommend the same identity model: email magic link lookup instead of a raw verified-email table. That keeps the experience lightweight while still letting families recover their list across devices.

Tip Jar

Parent feedback module

This release gets the structure right: email required, venue optional, and a clear topic bucket so a moderated feedback inbox can be connected next without redesigning the flow.

0 local tip entries

Submissions are stored locally for now because the `ff-venues` feedback table has not been provisioned yet.
