Research

Quantitative

To understand the core needs of academies, parents, and students, we conducted a survey with a larger user group. The goal was to collect measurable insights on attendance tracking, fee payment, communication, and class management. The data helped us identify which features are most valued and where the current pain points exist.

Qualitative

Through direct conversations and interviews with academy owners, coaches, students, and parents, we uncovered deeper insights into their real challenges and expectations.

• Seamless communication is critical for trust and engagement.
• Clear visibility of activities and progress reduces confusion.
• Users expect simple, intuitive tools over complex systems.
• Transparency in operations builds long-term reliability.
• A unified digital experience ensures consistency and ease.

Problems

Sports academies often rely on manual record-keeping, scattered communication channels, and offline payments. This creates friction for both academy staff and users:

• Coaches spend excessive time on attendance tracking instead of training.
• Parents often miss payment deadlines or class updates due to lack of reminders.
• Students struggle with unorganized schedules and unclear progress tracking.
• Admins face difficulties in managing fees, registrations, and staff workload efficiently.

Solutions

Zeet Academy introduces a centralized, digital-first platform that simplifies academy operations and enhances user experience:

• Smart Attendance – Automates tracking so coaches focus on training.
• Auto Reminders – Notifies parents about fees & class updates on time.
• Organized Scheduling – Helps students track classes & progress clearly.
• Simplified Management – Streamlines fees, registrations & staff tasks for admins.

Using Design Principles

Coaches / Trainers

Users (coaches/admins/parents) juggle many tasks. We reduced decision fatigue by breaking actions into smaller, guided steps, avoiding overwhelming screens.

Emotional Anchoring

Designed micro-moments of delight (success animations, celebratory colors on score updates) to tap into positive reinforcement, making repetitive admin tasks feel rewarding.

Flow State Design

Designed to keep coaches/admins in deep work mode by reducing unnecessary alerts and aligning task sequences with their real-world workflow.

Trust Through Transparency

Payment flows and attendance logs are designed with instant feedback and visible audit trails so parents and admins feel reassured no hidden steps.

Recognition Over Recall

Instead of forcing users to remember data (like student IDs or schedules), the design leans on visual recognition cues icons, profile images, and clear labels.
