The cupboard
The scorebook goes into a cupboard.
A season of innings becomes a physical object nobody opens again. Nothing about it is searchable, comparable or portable.
In cricket, how you step up to the crease
decides how you end the game.
While professional teams have analysts, archives and tools, the pitches that produce tomorrow's stars keep records in notebooks and WhatsApp threads. CreaseTech gives grassroots cricket a modern home — scheduling, facility management, role-based drills, match score ingestion and data-driven insights — so every session, match and milestone becomes part of a visible, coachable journey.
Your journey matters —
the beginning defines how you reach the destination.
CreaseTech captures training, matches and milestones so players, coaches, guardians and admins can plan, measure and celebrate progress.
From first net to first selection.
Every training counted. Every innings kept. Every player seen. Every season proven.
Most of the people on this platform are children. It has been designed accordingly.
See the child-safety commitmentsWhy we built this
Everything the next generation becomes starts on a school ground.
Almost none of it gets recorded.
On grassroots grounds and in practice nets across the world, young players train, bat, bowl and field, and coaches who know their craft watch closely and judge well. Then the season closes.
The hard work
The work nobody wrote down.
Months of early mornings and late evenings, the sweat and the bruises — with no record of the sessions done or the drills worked on. Only a memory, and memories fade.
The handover
A coach moves to another school.
Years of development knowledge leave with them. The next coach begins again from the first delivery — and the coach who did the work is forgotten.
The scroll
The WhatsApp group scrolls past.
Planning, strategies, attendance, fees, fixtures, feedback and photographs all live in a feed that deletes itself by design.
Three seasons of work later, the player has almost nothing to show for it — and the institution cannot prove what it built.
Cricket has never been short of talent. It has been lacking how we nurture them.
None of this is anyone's fault. All of it is fixable.
CreaseTech keeps the record where the work happens — so the season, the sessions and the coaching all outlive the scorebook.
Who we are
CreaseTech exists to keep the evidence — and to turn it into better decisions.
We are building one platform where the operational life of a cricket institution — training catalogues and plans, sessions, fixtures, attendance, fees, communications and performance — lives in a single connected system.
Every session a player attends and every innings they play becomes part of a permanent, verified, portable development record that belongs to them and outlasts any one coach, term or committee.
Cricket-specific, on purpose
Built around overs, innings, spells, sessions, drills and age groups — the vocabulary a Master-in-Charge already uses. Generic sports software makes coaches translate; we don't.
Sri Lanka first, not Sri Lanka later
Designed for the Sri Lankan grassroots game as it actually runs — the school calendar, the inter-school season, local payment habits, local scoring sources, and phones running on mobile data.
The record belongs to the player
Portable across schools, academies and clubs. A player who moves does not start again from zero, and a coach's contribution stays attributed.
Vision & mission
Vision
A game where every young cricketer's effort is seen, kept and carried forward — however far they go.
Talent is not cricket's problem today. Memory is. We want a generation of players whose work is visible wherever they go, and schools, academies and clubs that can prove what they built.
Mission
To make every young cricketer's journey count — not only the ones that end in a cap.
We give players, coaches, parents, and the schools, academies and clubs behind them one place to record every session and every innings, see honestly how the work is developing, and decide what comes next. By joining a player's full development record to the coaching knowledge around it and the real context of each match, we turn scattered effort into evidence — so that whenever someone looks, the work is there to be seen.
- Replace scattered scorebooks, spreadsheets and chat groups with one connected record
- Turn what a coach already knows into evidence they can show
- Protect every child on the platform by design, not by policy
- Make the record travel with the player, not the institution
What we will never claim
We do not select players, we do not coach, and we will not promise a win, a cap or an improvement percentage. What we promise is that when a selector, a parent or a committee looks — the evidence exists.
The value we strive to offer
The idea at the centre is a loop, not a database.
“Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.”
So we built a loop that carries a young cricketer towards excellence.

Stage 01
What was actually taught
Coaching data records what was taught, to whom, and at which stage of a player's development.
A coach opens the squad and sees the stance work already covered in week six.
Guidance becomes individual instead of repeated.
Hover or tap a node for a live example.
Stage 02
How the work developed
Training data tracks how that work develops across weeks and terms, measured rather than remembered.
Eight weeks of footwork sit in one line, so progress stops being a feeling.
Improvement is evidence, not recollection.
Stage 03
What the match says back
Performance data from matches shows precisely which areas go back to the board next term.
Three dismissals to the same length tell the coach what next week has to fix.
The next plan starts informed, not blank.
The institution
Institutional memory
A season's record that survives the people who created it — administration, scheduling, billing and reporting in one governed system.
Six seasons · three coaches · one unbroken record
Three coaches, two age groups, one continuous record. Nothing leaves when they do.
The coach
Less admin, more coaching
Squad development visible at a glance, administrative load carried by the system rather than by hand, and the evidence behind the interventions you already know are needed.
- Attendance and session plans recorded once, reused all term
- Drill exposure totalled automatically, per player and per squad
- Reports generated from the record, not retyped into a document
The player
A roadmap you can see
What you are working on, how it is developing, and a record of your own that travels with you between institutions.
The caregiver
Honest visibility
Your child's growth shown plainly, inside a structured and accountable training environment — with you in control of what is shared.
Why this matters beyond one school
Elite cricket gets the resources. The grassroots game that feeds it doesn't.
The early years set a player's trajectory — and almost none of those years are kept. A season ends, and the record leaves with the coach.
CreaseTech keeps it.
Every player's training and performance, tracked across seasons, holding the whole
player — roles, versatility, progress — in one record rather than five.
It shows where the skill gaps and squad gaps are.
And lets training be curated to close them, with new drills and mentoring added as
the game evolves.
It gives coaches and administrators the tools and data in one place.
So time goes back into strategy, into players, into understanding what's happening
in a young cricketer's head.
It gives players their own evidence to work from and to be proud of.
It gives parents a clear view of where their child stands, and the footing to guide
them through the hard years.
And at the level above, the talent and its history sit in one place — sliceable by age, role, format and conditions, so the next generation of squads is built on evidence.
One unified platform for grassroots cricket — looking beyond today's match.

Platform
Dedicated working modules, one connected system, a novel user experience.
Each module delivers its own value — but together they create a seamless development chain. A session scheduled becomes a session attended, becomes drills completed, becomes a season programme. Training connects to match performance, performance becomes insight, and insight becomes a record that can be shown, shared and built upon.
What it does
Three tiers of capability, one connected system.
Tier 01
Coaching & development
The cricket work — planned, delivered, measured.
Drill & skill catalogue
Structured drills, tagged to the skill being coached.
Session & season plans
Term plans built from the catalogue, reused each season.
Match & performance capture
Innings, spells and dismissals read as a season.
Tier 02
Insights & celebration
What the record gives back.
Training and performance, crossed
Committee reports generated, not reconstructed.
Leaderboards & badges
Consent-gated, age-aware recognition.
One record
The player's season and career record, kept.
Tier 03
Core operations
Onboarding, scheduling, facilities, fees.
Identity & onboarding
Centralised profiles, guardian consents, role tags.
Calendar & facilities
Grounds, nets, coaches and kit in one calendar.
Fees & administration
Invoices, receipts and fee position, always current.
Communications & CRM
One record instead of five chat groups.
The modules in detail
Groups, sessions & fixtures
Marked before the players leave the ground
The operational spine: build squads and age groups, schedule the term, mark attendance in the field on a phone, and capture what happened while it is still fresh.

Communications & CRM
Out of five chat groups, into one record
Announcements, reminders, receipts and consent requests — sent from the system that holds the facts, with a record of what was sent, to whom, and when.
Squad announcementFee reminder delivered · logged
Training drill catalogue
Every drill tagged, every plan reused — and the term's work made visible
A structured drill and skill catalogue, plans built from it, and a record of what was actually delivered to each player — the coaching data that starts the loop. Below: one term's drill load for an under-15 squad, broken down to the skill being coached.
Institute administration
Every rupee reconciled, every action auditable
Everything an institution runs behind the cricket: term fees and guardian payments, roles and permissions, seasons and settings — with a double-entry ledger behind every rupee, every refund linked to its payment, and a reason code attached to every action.
How it fits together
A one big HAPPY family (May be a School, Academy or a Club)

Data flows out only where consent allows it.
Read it as a sentence: the people record the work, the platform turns it into one record, and that record only leaves the institution through the consent gate. Scores and fee settlements come back the other way — read only, never authoritative.
Training → performance pipeline
Each module adds value; together they form a continuous development pipeline.
From scheduled session to completed drills, from season plan to match performance, and from data to a shareable record. Click any stage to see the raw data it holds, the metrics derived from it, and what it tells a coach to do next.
Reporting
Reports generated, not reconstructed.
Reproducible from the underlying record, every time. Squad depth, participation, attendance, fee position and development progress — the reports a committee actually asks for.

Discovery, leaderboards and sharing
Once the record exists and consent allows it: discovery of coaches and facilities, age-group leaderboards, and moments a family can share. Minors pseudonymous and opt-in only. Share cards are generated from verified data, never from claims, and nothing leaves your institution without passing all four consent gates.

In depth, by role
Operational efficiency, season readiness, and a memory that stays within
How is our preparation for the next season? Have we done enough for the next Big Match? Don't sit in the dark — CreaseTech shows you where your team actually stands.
- Season readiness at a glance — how ready the squad is, and where the depth is still thin
- Is the investment paying off? Which age groups and skills need more help?
- One dashboard for the whole story — the work put in, what the squad gained, where they stand
- A season's record that survives staff changes and committee turnover
- Child-safety posture you can show a parents' association
- Administration, scheduling, billing and fee position in one governed system
What changes on day one
The term is scheduled in one place, attendance is marked on a phone at the ground, and the first report the committee asks for is generated instead of reconstructed.
Your time back, and your judgement backed by evidence
You know he keeps getting out to spin. Can you prove when it started?
- Every session and drill you have run, at your fingertips — squad development visible instead of held in your head
- Which player needs more attention this week, and the evidence for why
- Three seamers and two spinners, or come at them with pace all day? Make the call on evidence, not memory alone
- A portfolio of what you built, attributed to you, that travels between schools
- The analysis locates the problem — you still decide why, and what to do
- Admin load reduced so more of the week is spent on the ground
What we will never do
Replace coaching judgement. The platform tells you where to look and what changed. The diagnosis, the intervention and the relationship remain entirely yours.
A record of your own that travels with you
Where do I need to improve? What do I actually have to do to get better?
- Know your strengths, know your weaknesses, and plan your work around both
- Read your own numbers and decide for yourself how far you want to take this
- See what you are working on and how it is actually developing
- Every innings kept — not just a season aggregate
- Your record moves with you between school, academy and club
- Nothing about you goes public without your guardian's permission
An honest note
No platform selects players. What this one does is make sure that when someone looks, the evidence of your work exists — because today, for most players, it does not.
Honest visibility of your child's growth
How is my child progressing? Where do they need our support?
- What your child is training, how often, and how it is progressing
- Their training and match record tells the story — so your encouragement comes with context, not guesswork
- You hold the consent — you decide what is visible and to whom
- Withdraw permission at any time and public visibility is removed
- Fees, schedules and communications in one place, not five chat groups
Progress, not ranking
Guardian views show your own child's development over time. We do not rank children against each other, and we do not tell you your child is behind.
Trust is part of the product
Most of the people on this platform are children.
It has been designed accordingly. Guardian linking and consent controls, age-appropriate access restrictions, permission-based visibility, role-based access, complete audit trails, and data export and erasure rights are enforced by the system itself — rather than promised in a policy document.
Nothing about a young player becomes visible beyond their institution unless the right people have agreed to it.
Request the child-safety briefGate 01
Identity verified
The record is attached to a resolved player identity, not a name typed twice.
Gate 02
Guardian consent
A minor's data does not leave the institution without the guardian's explicit permission.
Gate 03
Institution posture
Your school decides whether it publishes at all, and under whose name.
Gate 04
Visibility scope
Who exactly can see it, for how long, and how quickly it can be withdrawn.
Privacy centre
Four promises are only worth the three mechanisms underneath them.
Retention, portability and access — each auditable. Data is stored securely, access is logged, and guardian consent is required for every profile belonging to a minor.
Data retention
A player's record is retained while their institution holds a relationship with them, and travels with the player on request. Consent records are timestamped and kept for the life of the account.
Export & portability
Players and guardians can export the full record. Export requires guardian or admin approval, and every export is logged and time-stamped.
Access control
Role-based permissions with least-privilege defaults. Admins audit permissions and issue temporary access from one console.
Who built it
The Team
Built by people who live and breathe cricket — and who have stood in enough nets, on enough boundary lines and in enough planning meetings to know how the grassroots game actually works.
We went looking for its heartbeat.
How a session gets planned on a Tuesday and rebuilt on a Wednesday when half the squad
doesn't turn up. How a coach carries a whole season in their head and the gear in the back
of the car. How a young player gets picked, moved up the order, dropped, forgotten, found
again. What a parent watches from the boundary — and everything they're never told.
So before we wrote a single line of this platform, we modelled grassroots cricket end to end.
Every role, every workflow, every hand-off, on the field and off it. Months of research,
argument and building later, it's nearly ready to hand over.
Because we believe the kid at the far net deserves what the top of the game gets.
Because how a cricketer is brought up decides what that cricketer becomes.
A new era for the grassroots game, built for the game we grew up in — by people who never really left it.
