What is the problem you found?

How might we create greater access to sports activities and facilities in the local area?

Customer / Problem

There aren't enough public sporting facilities or clubs in the area and this stops kids from pursuing sports which can lead them down the wrong path.

Our customers are parents and children from low-income families that are struggling to pay the high cost of sports club membership fees.

They are looking for an outlet through sport but are unable to participate and often end up engaging in other activities that are not productive.

What Is Your Solution?

'Grass Pass' is a social enterprise that provides low-cost hireable facilities that may be used for sporting and community events. Through an app and website, users can connect with other community members who are interested in a similar sport or activity and book a sports facility such as a sports field or oval for a defined period of time.

'Grass Pass' also aims to construct a sporting club that will offer the chance for people from low-income families to be able to participate at a low and affordable cost.
