Organising & finding a volleyball game is HARDER than the sport itself in Singapore

I have been play volleyball for 5 years casually and sometimes I'm the one organising. What I HATE every week is filling the court. You need at least 12 people, someone bails last minute, and you're stuck spamming three different groups and calling strangers to ask "anyone got 2 more?" And when people do show, they're often way above or way below the group's level, so the game ends up one sided and not much fun.

So I've been building a volleyball app called Coterie to fix it. You post a game with the details (date, court, open slots, skill level) and you grab your spot!! You select filters based on your location, skill level and schedule, finding games that suit your preferences.

If you fall under these categories, I believe the app is for you!

  1. You are a beginner in volleyball and unsure how to start or join a game
  2. You can't find anyone to fill up slots in the same skill level
  3. You are looking to join stranger's games with your friends in the same skill level

If you are interested, help me this up! Drop your email there and I'll email you when it's live.

Volleyball app waitlist link: https://coterie.com.de/waitlist

It's Singapore-only and still pre-launch (still developing right now). I've put up a waitlist while I finish building. If it sounds useful, . If it sounds pointless, even better, tell me why.

Two things I really want to hear from people who play volleyball:

  1. Is the lack of players / skill-mismatch thing a real enough pain that you'd want an app for it? Or is your method of getting players good enough?
  2. If this existed and worked well, would you use it?
  3. Would you ever sell your volleyball courts & equipment here?

IT IS FREE TOO!! I mostly want to know if I'm solving a real problem or just my own. Happy to DM the link too if you'd rather not click a random URL.

Anyone else struggling to get 12 people together for a volleyball session in SG?

Every time I try to organise a game, it feels like I spend more time on Telegram than on the court. Spamming the group, waiting for people to respond, then realising half the people who said yes play at a completely different level from everyone else.

And when the group chat isn't enough, you're just hoping someone knows someone. No real way to find players outside your immediate circle who actually match your standard.

Curious if this is a shared experience or just me. How do you guys handle filling up sessions when your regular group falls short?

Been working on something to fix this for SG recreational players. Would love to hear how others are dealing with it first.

24M, looking for people to play casual volleyball with as a beginner

Hello, I’ve always wanted to play volleyball as a kid but did not have any CCA’s of it in primary and secondary school. I would love to play this sport to have fun and to lose weight (I’m fat)
