FOOTBALL ACADEMIES / SPORTS CLUBS / COACHING BUSINESSES

Parents get answers.
Children never talk to the AI.

An academy runs on WhatsApp, a booking link and a coach’s phone. Enquiries arrive in the evening, trials go unbooked, and lapsed families never get a call. Starter handles the parent and coach side. Nothing we build is child-facing.

WHERE THE MONEY LEAKS

Where an academy loses families

THE ENQUIRY

A parent messages at 8pm and hears back on Thursday

Age group, venue, price, what to bring — the same questions, answered slowly, by a coach after training.

THE TRIAL

‘Just turn up’ is not a booking

Unbooked trials do not show, and the coach cannot plan numbers.

LAPSED FAMILIES

Memberships that quietly stop

Nobody notices the sibling who did not renew until the term is half gone.

WHAT WE WOULD SET UP · INDUSTRY EXAMPLE, NOT A CASE STUDY

Parent enquiry to booked trial to engaged family.

A parent-facing voice agent and widget, booking into your existing system, and — on Pro — a branded family app like Dragon Players.

  1. 01
    ANSWER

    Parent and coach enquiries, day and night

    Age groups, venues, prices-from, kit, weather calls. Safeguarding questions route to your welfare officer, never to the AI.

  2. 02
    BOOK THE TRIAL

    Into your booking system or a held slot

    Official APIs only; otherwise a structured request for the academy to confirm.

  3. 03
    FOLLOW UP

    Reminders and renewals on Growth

    Trial reminders, renewal nudges to parents with documented consent, a weekly numbers digest to the owner.

  4. 04
    KEEP THE FAMILY

    A branded family app on Pro

    Player identity, XP, stories, parent-and-coach AI, competition and learning — the Dragon Players model, live on both stores.

LIVE ON BOTH STORES

Dragon Players

The official, exclusive family app of Dragon Academy — player identity, XP, academy stories, parent-and-coach AI, competition and learning — live on the App Store and Google Play and managed by ImpactLayer after launch.

THE RULES IT IS CONFIGURED TO

Guardrails are written before the first call.

Every agent ships with a written spec and a scripted test pack you sign off. It is configured to use your approved information and supported systems, and each of these rules is tested before go-live and checked in the reviews after it.

01

Talk to a child — parent and coach only, by design

Tested before go-live; automated checks and the weekly sampled review flag any breach for a person.

02

Handle a safeguarding concern; it routes to the welfare officer

Tested before go-live; automated checks and the weekly sampled review flag any breach for a person.

03

Invent an age group, venue or price

Tested before go-live; automated checks and the weekly sampled review flag any breach for a person.

04

Give medical or injury advice

Tested before go-live; automated checks and the weekly sampled review flag any breach for a person.

05

Contact families without documented consent

Tested before go-live; automated checks and the weekly sampled review flag any breach for a person.
