Set up register.brooklynbasketball.com as the branded registration endpoint. DNS, SSL, CORS whitelisting.
Backend toggle to cleanly suppress Playbook's native header and footer so Brooklyn Basketball's nav injects without DOM flicker or layout conflict.
Resolve contrast issues between Playbook's light theme and Brooklyn Basketball's dark-mode site. Registration pages render cleanly on their branded subdomain.
End-to-end testing in Brooklyn Basketball's Next.js environment. Cross-browser, mobile, and responsive QA pass.
For clubs like Brooklyn Basketball that have invested in a custom-branded website, generic registration redirect pages break the user experience — families land on an unfamiliar domain mid-flow and drop off before completing payment. A dedicated subdomain keeps players and parents inside the Brooklyn Basketball environment from first click to payment confirmation, protecting both conversion rate and brand trust. The Next.js QA pass at the end of Phase 1 ensures the integration holds across breakpoints before a single parent sees it.
Native embed for program listing, calendar & checkout
Headerless, footer-less program listing module that embeds natively into any page on Brooklyn Basketball's site. Documented — scoping remaining work.
Day/week/month calendar view as an embeddable module connected to Brooklyn Basketball's live program schedule. Documented — estimated 2–3 weeks to QA.
Complete registration and payment checkout embedded natively — no click-out, no redirect. Responsive iframe resizing included for mobile. Covers the add-to-cart and payment flow confirmed as the primary goal.
Most basketball club registration software forces players off your site at the moment of highest intent — the checkout page. An embedded flow eliminates that break, keeping parents in a familiar environment when they're entering payment details. Unlike closed registration platforms such as SportsEngine or TeamSnap, Playbook's embed approach lets Brooklyn Basketball own the full registration experience on their own domain, with no Playbook branding visible to the parent unless explicitly configured.
Brooklyn Basketball frontend, Playbook backend
Expose all registrable programs, age groups, gender, pricing, dates, days of week, time, location, sessions per week, and early bird price + expiry — the full event card field set Brooklyn Basketball needs to surface on their site.
Full registration submission and payment processing via API. Supports Brooklyn Basketball's checkout flow built entirely in their own stack.
Calendar view, session data, and account history via API. Enables a fully custom scheduling and account portal on Brooklyn Basketball's site.
Full API documentation, authentication guide, and developer handoff package for Brooklyn Basketball's engineering team to build and extend independently.
When a club's brand and design system are sophisticated enough that any third-party UI — even a well-styled iFrame — creates visible seams, API mode is the answer. Playbook's all-in-one sports management platform exposes every data layer Brooklyn Basketball needs — programs, registration, payments, calendar — as clean endpoints your engineering team can consume in Next.js or any other stack. Playbook handles backend complexity; Brooklyn Basketball owns every pixel of the experience.
Session builder, discounts & early bird setup
Ages 6–8: minimum 1 day/week. All other age groups: minimum 2 days/week. Enforced at registration — not handled via language alone. Configured using session blocks scoped to each age group.
Three stacking discounts for after school: 2 days = 5% off · 3 days = 10% off · 4 days = 15% off. Each auto-applied when cart hits the threshold. Filtered to after school category only — does not affect summer camps or other programs.
Price increases after the registration deadline but must not display as a "late fee." Handled via a secondary pricing tier rather than the late fee label field.
Ability to apply different bulk discount structures to specific programs within the same category. Feature is in progress — estimated ~1 week out.
Registration logic — age minimums, stacking discounts, early bird tiers — is where most platforms force clubs into workarounds or manual overrides. Getting these rules right in the system before launch means fewer support emails, fewer refund requests, and fewer parents who registered for the wrong day count. These configurations are included within the project budget and are required before Brooklyn Basketball's first season goes live on Playbook.
Waiver configuration & ops automation
Liability waiver: always required. Consent to contact: optional (not every renter/guest wants marketing). Dismissal/child pickup: off by default, required only for youth programs. Configurable per program independently.
When a renter brings guests on a booking, waivers sent to each individual guest — not signed by the primary renter on behalf of the group.
Most full-facility rentals require custom legal language per booking. Cleanest way to attach a per-rental document within the new guest and split-invoice rental flow.
Trigger post-session emails — "thanks for attending" or "we missed you" — based on whether a participant was checked in or absent. Built for Brooklyn Basketball's dedicated youth program sales reps.
Waiver and ops automation requests are scoped conservatively here because the exact product approach is still being confirmed with the Playbook team. Once confirmed, any work that fits within the 75-hour budget is included at no additional cost — no surprise line items after the fact. If a request falls outside scope, it gets discussed and agreed upon before a single hour of work begins.
Answers to the questions basketball clubs ask before committing to a custom integration.
Yes. Playbook builds a headerless iFrame embed that lets players browse programs, view the calendar, and complete checkout entirely within your club's website — no redirect, no visible Playbook branding unless you configure it. Phase 2 covers the full program listing, calendar view, and payment flow as separate embeddable modules, so Brooklyn Basketball can deploy them individually or all at once depending on readiness. The embed is fully responsive and resizes automatically on mobile without additional configuration on your side. This matters most at checkout: when a parent is entering payment information, landing on an unfamiliar third-party domain triggers hesitation and drop-off even when the parent intended to complete registration. Keeping the full flow on brooklynbasketball.com removes that friction entirely — and clubs that make this switch consistently report higher funnel completion rates than they saw on redirect-based flows.
The custom integration is $5,000 as a one-time fee, covering 75 total hours of development. The first 25 hours — subdomain configuration, header and footer suppression, dark mode compatibility, and Next.js QA — are included at no charge as part of Playbook's integration partnership model. The remaining 50 billable hours are priced at $100/hour, and the $5,000 figure covers them in full with no surprises. There are no recurring fees tied to the custom dev work itself; it is a flat, one-time project cost that sits separately from the Playbook platform subscription. Program configuration items — session minimums, stacking bulk discounts, early bird pricing tiers — are also included within the 75-hour budget, so the $5,000 is the all-in number for everything described in this scope. Schedule a demo to discuss platform subscription plans alongside the custom dev cost.
Phase 1 — subdomain setup, header suppression, dark mode compatibility, and Next.js QA — can typically be completed in one to two weeks from kickoff, depending on DNS propagation timing and client-side review cycles. Phase 2 iFrame embeds are more QA-intensive: the calendar view alone carries an estimated 2–3 week testing window because live schedule data needs validation across day, week, and month views on both desktop and mobile. Phase 3 full API mode is a future-phase project whose timeline depends on Brooklyn Basketball's engineering team availability and their own frontend build schedule, and is best planned after Phase 2 has run stably in production. For a club moving through Phase 1 and Phase 2 sequentially, the typical total range is four to six weeks from kickoff to live embedded checkout. Any scope confirmed under the additional requests section is delivered within the same 75-hour budget and does not extend the timeline unless it materially adds to the build surface.
Yes. Session minimums are enforced at the cart level, not surfaced as instructional text — ages 6–8 are blocked from selecting more than one day per week, and older age groups cannot complete checkout without selecting a two-day minimum, enforced in the registration flow itself. Multi-tier bulk discounts for after-school programs stack automatically: 2 days triggers 5% off, 3 days triggers 10% off, and 4 days triggers 15% off, each applied the moment the cart hits the threshold without any manual override by staff. These discount rules are scoped specifically to the after-school category — they do not apply to summer camps, skills academy sessions, leagues, or other program types, so pricing stays clean across Brooklyn Basketball's full program mix. Early bird pricing is handled via a secondary pricing tier rather than a late fee label, so deadline-based price increases appear as a natural price update rather than a penalty, which avoids the friction that late fee language creates for families still deciding. All of these configurations are included within the 75-hour project budget and are treated as prerequisites before Brooklyn Basketball's first season goes live on the platform.
The iFrame embed wraps Playbook's existing registration UI inside a frame that sits natively within your site — it inherits your page's navigation and chrome while the actual registration interface is rendered by Playbook's servers. This is the fastest path to a seamless registration experience, requires zero frontend development on Brooklyn Basketball's side, and is exactly what Phase 2 delivers. The full API mode, by contrast, exposes all program data, registration submissions, payment processing, and calendar endpoints as raw API calls — Brooklyn Basketball's engineering team builds the complete frontend in Next.js or any other stack, and Playbook handles only the backend data layer and payment transaction logic. API mode gives Brooklyn Basketball total control over every interaction design decision: animations, typography, accessibility patterns, and edge-case UI states in the registration flow. The tradeoff is build time and engineering resource cost: iFrame is weeks, full API mode is typically months of dedicated frontend development. Phase 3 adds $3,000 to the project and is recommended only after Phase 2 has run stably in production long enough to confirm the data flows before committing to a full frontend rebuild on top of them.

All development hours are dedicated to Brooklyn Basketball's integration. Program configuration and any confirmed request work that falls within the 75-hour budget is included at no additional cost.
Any scope beyond 75 hours will be discussed and agreed upon before work begins. Unlike closed registration platforms such as SportsEngine or TeamSnap, Playbook's API-first approach lets Brooklyn Basketball own the full registration experience on their own domain.
What makes Playbook's integration model different for basketball clubs specifically is that it was built around how basketball programs actually sell — multi-age-group structures, per-program discount logic, court rentals alongside league registrations, and a parent audience that makes registration decisions quickly on mobile. Most generic sports software handles these as workarounds or add-ons; Playbook treats them as first-class configuration. The result is that a club like Brooklyn Basketball can go from a patchwork of redirect links and manual follow-ups to a single, branded, embedded flow without rebuilding their entire tech stack or committing to a year-long enterprise contract.
