Team Sport Manager

Group Project Description:

Audience: High school sport team - players & parents/guardians

Problem: Team members and parents/guardians need timely information regarding team schedule. Also need information regarding upcoming tournaments, instructional videos and sharing team photos.

Purpose: Provide Team information & Resources

Functionality:

• Manage team roster - Add, remove team members
• View Team Schedule - List of previous and upcoming matches, scores for matches played, match location
• Resources - Upcoming tournaments, instructional videos, team photos

Implementation

1. Admin page to enter team players and match schedule
2. Team schedule - date/opponent/time/location/score
3. Team Roster - name/grade/handle
4. Resources:
   • Upcoming Tournaments
   • Instructional videos for different tennis strokes - user selected (forehand/backhand/serve/volley)
   • Share team photos via Instagram account

Tools

APIs

• Action API to provide upcoming USTA tournaments
• Youtube API to provide instructional videos
• Instagram API to provide a venue to share team photos

Frameworks

• Bootstrap

Libraries

• Moment.js
• Anime.js

Database

• Firebase

Future Enhancements

1. Message board for team members to post information such as carpool availability, info regarding out of town tournaments, match highlights/recaps
2. Email and text message capability to notify members of important information, such as match day location changes due to inclement weather
3. Public and Private Webpages
   • Public webpage to display team schedule and other general team information
   • Private webpages for players/parents/guardians that shows the roster and contact information and a website for the team administrator to enter manage team roster and schedule. This would require login authentication for both private websites.

Developer Notes

• User has the ability to add/update/delete players and matches to the roster and schedule tables by selecting the edit icon next to each entry.
• Some input validation on Date, Grade and Time fields
• Used moment.js to convert ISO date to local date for display purposes. Also used to set active.com API start date query to identify upcoming tournaments.
• Used single modal to edit a player or match entry. When edit icon is clicked, the code determines which table is being updated and populates the modal based on a tag on the edit icon.
• Tennis ball in jumbotron will circumnavigate the logo upon the document being loaded and when clicked.
• A new photo will load when a photo is added to personal instragram account (currently tied to single account - future feature to allow registered users to post a new photo and have a photo gallery with older postings)
• When a tournament is selected, it will take the user to the official tournament website.
• Further investigate active.com API. Team struggled to load tournaments closer to city specified in the query search.For some reason, it thinks Omaha, NE is close to Mpls, MN...
