NdamBa
Youth Sports Development
Where young players get seen.
NdamBa runs a youth soccer academy from end to end: players grouped by team and development stage, evaluations that adapt to a child's age and position, a Growth Engine that tracks how fast each player is really developing, AI-cut highlight reels, an in-app kit store, attendance and punctuality, fees and family communication - all in one place, white-labelled to each academy.
Visit ndamba.appSomewhere right now, a ten-year-old is the best player on her pitch - and nobody is keeping track.
Her coach runs the team from a group chat and memory. Her best goal lives on a parent's phone and never reaches a scout. Her family is never quite sure when training is, or what they owe.
NdamBa changes that in under a minute. The academy signs up, and every player gets a profile that grows with them - Recreation, Foundation, Development, Elite - with evaluations that are fair to their age and the position they actually play.
After each game the coach logs the stats, and the AI watches the film and clips each child's highlights by jersey number. A smart coaching board picks the best eleven from how each player is truly developing, then grades how well the team followed the plan - naming who stepped up, and exactly how each one gets better.
Fees, attendance, announcements and a Slack-grade family chat run themselves, with reminders that reach a parent on WhatsApp. Charts and printable reports tell the whole story to the board - and the academy's own AI assistant answers families day or night.
Every academy gets the tools the big clubs have - white-labelled, on any phone, in their language. NdamBa. Where young players get seen.

The problem
Youth academies run on group chats, spreadsheets, and a coach's memory. A talented kid's growth goes untracked, their best moments never reach a scout, parents are left guessing about fees and pickups, and every academy rebuilds the same admin from scratch.
How it works
Develop every player
Players are grouped by team and by stage - Recreation, Foundation, Development, Elite. Evaluations adapt to each child's age and position, so a young goalkeeper is judged like a goalkeeper, not a striker.
See who they are becoming
A growth-trend chart, an AI-written Development DNA, coachability and match impact - the whole picture, not just one number. Upload a clip and the AI drafts the scores; the coach simply confirms.
Highlights that reach scouts
Upload a full game, set the line-up, and NdamBa cuts each player's highlights by jersey number - ready to share.
Run the whole academy
Attendance and punctuality trends, fees and invoices, flexible payment plans that auto-collect installments on set dates, branded reports, and family communication - with an AI assistant named after the academy owner.
Know who is really growing
A Growth Engine that turns evaluations and attendance into signals coaches act on: development velocity (improving, plateau or dropping), availability, match-pressure, biological maturity (age vs body, so a late developer is not overlooked), and a readiness projection - all from data already captured, no extra paperwork.
Kit the team in a tap
A built-in kit store: the academy lists its uniforms (shirt, shorts, socks, tracksuit, jacket) with studio-grade photos; parents pick the size, the app assigns the squad number, add a name on the shirt, and pay by card, mobile money or installments - the squad number ties straight to the player for game highlights.
What it does
- Age- and position-aware evaluations across 8 development pillars
- AI Development DNA, growth trends, and overload-risk alerts
- Growth Engine: development velocity bands, availability, match-pressure, biological maturity (PHV) and a readiness projection - all derived from existing evaluations and attendance
- In-app kit store: parents order uniforms (sizes, app-assigned squad number, name on the shirt), pay by card / mobile money / installments; admins upload photos auto-made studio-grade
- AI highlight reels cut by jersey number, plus EPL-style match stats (goals, assists, saves, tackles, touches) from the game video
- Smart tactics board: AI proposes your best eleven from each player's development, and grades how well the team followed the plan
- Insights with pie/line charts and one-tap printable reports; a Rules Academy that teaches the Laws of the Game
- Coach attendance, fees, and a Slack-grade family chat that bridges to WhatsApp/SMS
- Flexible payment plans that split a fee into automatic installments on set dates, with one-tap bank or card autopay, automatic retries and reminders, fully editable by the academy
