UTrain — Mobile & web platform connecting basketball coaches, athletes, and parents
Rebuilt into a modern, cross-platform training marketplace with maps, payments, camps, bundles, and reporting—scalable across iOS, Android, and web.
Background
UTrain is a mobile and web platform that connects basketball coaches, athletes, and parents to organize and participate in training sessions. Born from a trainer’s real-world experience, it aims to remove administrative friction and create a nationwide hub for sessions, logistics, and progress tracking.
The vision: an accessible ecosystem where coaches plan and run sessions, players develop skills and game strategy, and parents easily enroll their kids—all in one place.
Challenges
Early builds inherited an outdated codebase and a React Native MVP that slowed iteration. UX inconsistencies across mobile and web, performance pain, and limited scalability threatened growth.
Requirements expanded beyond single sessions to large multi-field camps, extended schedules, and bundled session packages. Payments, refunds, and financial tracking needed to be robust. Push notifications, link sharing, and iOS performance issues also required a reliable solution.
Solution
- Ground-up rebuild on modern no-/low-code (Bubble) to accelerate iteration and scale.
- Fully functional iOS and Android apps, plus a cohesive web experience.
- Dynamic map with interactive pins for discovering nearby camps, coaches, and sessions.
- Stripe-powered payments with refunds and detailed financial tracking.
- Coach reporting dashboard for participation, earnings, and actionable insights.
- First-class support for large camps (multi-field coordination) and bundled sessions.
- Systematic fixes for notifications, link sharing, and iOS performance reliability.

UTrain now operates smoothly across iOS, Android, and web, retaining the validated MVP ideas while adding a scalable foundation.
