Club Photo Hub
Every kick, ruck and try — filed for the right family.
Core purpose
To give grassroots clubs a privacy-first way to capture, sort and share match-day photography — so parents get their child's images, coaches get consent on record and clubs get a single library.
01 — The problem
Grassroots clubs generate hundreds of sideline photos every weekend, then lose them in chat threads. Parents want their child's images, coaches want consent, clubs want a single library — and nobody wants public URLs.
02 — The approach
A match-day flow that takes under thirty seconds: parents and coaches drop photos and video from their phones, the system recognises the players and quietly sorts every shot into the right consent-controlled folder.
03 — The outcome
Photos filed in under 30s, parent-controlled visibility at 100%, zero public URLs. A privacy-first photo platform built around how match days actually run.
Core features
What it actually does.
F.01
30-second upload
Drop a batch from the sideline — kit, faces and squad numbers do the sorting.
F.02
Player recognition
Computer-vision matching against the squad list so each photo lands in the right player's folder.
F.03
Consent-first folders
Every player has a parent-controlled visibility setting — public URLs are off by default.
F.04
Audit trail
Who uploaded, who approved, who downloaded — a full record for the safeguarding officer.
How it was built
Under the bonnet.
- Stack
- React + Tailwind, mobile-first interaction model, vision API for face/kit matching.
- Privacy model
- Consent attached to the player record, not the photo — flipping a parent's setting cascades across every image.
- Performance
- Batch uploads chunked client-side so a phone on a wet sideline doesn't time out.
- Roles
- Coach, parent, safeguarding lead — each with a tightly scoped view of the same library.
