The Academy / Business

Founded by former professional player Cedric Isom, Game Time Sports has built a reputation in Abu Dhabi as more than a place to learn basketball — it's a pathway. Alongside its core academy programme, GTS runs its own competitive league (the GTS League), seasonal camps like its Winter Camp, and a USA Scholarships track that helps players pursue basketball beyond the UAE. With a growing coaching roster and a packed calendar of programmes, sessions, and camps, GTS needed its back-office systems to keep pace with its ambitions on the court.

The Challenge

Like many fast-growing academies, GTS had outgrown a manual, spreadsheet-and-form approach to running day-to-day operations — coordinating attendance across programmes, chasing and reconciling payments, and keeping registration simple for parents, all while the coaching team's focus needed to stay on the court, not the admin.

The Okrabook Solution

Streamlined attendance tracking across GTS's basketball programmes and age groups, replacing manual sign-in

Simplified payment collection and reconciliation, cutting out the back-and-forth of chasing payments manually

Custom configuration matched to GTS's specific operating model, rather than forcing the academy to adapt to a rigid, one-size-fits-all system

A responsive support relationship, so when GTS needed something adjusted, it got handled — not queued

The Result

Fasterattendance tracking, replacing manual registers
Quickerpayment reconciliation each month
