Players using Balltime for Highlight and Analytics

BalltimeAI is one of the greatest tools for a player/parent to create highlight reels. The GUI is intuitive which makes for ease of use. Not only is the player tracking accurate but the price point of the software is great. I’ve scoured the internet for softwares and this is the best I’ve found.

Isabella Faro
Parent

The time savings is priceless! Thank you for this amazing product! We have received great feedback from my daughters highlight reels using Balltime! Many parents have asked about the product and I send them your way!

Adam Smith
Coach

I've been creating my daughter's videos for 2 years now, and the ability to have all the videos categorized and pre-cut is a game changer.

Chris Wilkes
Parent

The time savings is priceless! Thank you for this amazing product! We have received great feedback from my daughters highlight reels using Balltime! Many parents have asked about the product and I send them your way!

Sophie Moore
Parent

Guys I am LOVING this software! My daughter has been using the filters to review her games, analyze her mistakes and ask questions to her coach about them.

Amy O'Donnell
Parent

It usually takes me 4-5 hours to edit a highlight video after a tournament. Once I uploaded my video to Balltime, I was able to create my video in just under 30 minutes.

Jake Shinn
Student Athlete (Sophomore)

I love using the Balltime app to create my volleyball highlight reels. It is very easy to use and I can create my reels very quickly. The final product is always very good quality; I've received compliments on my reels. I recommend Balltime to anyone who needs to create highlight reels.

Stella Lindeman

I love how easy to use this platform is. My daughter and I can both easily view and star favorites to create and share highlight reels! It's amazing and such a HUGE time saver!!

Avery MacMeccan

It's a great tool for the athletes to take a look at film, look at statistics and allows them to connect with their coaches and explore how they can develop their game. Another great thing about Balltime is that it empowers both athletes and coaches to craft dynamic vertical reels and highlight videos, perfect for social media sharing.

Kevin Braceros
Associate Director at Chi City Volleyball Club

Balltime is a huge hit for our teams. They absolutely love it. Its been extremely helpful to get these videos back in a timely manner. I mean, I was at an all day tournament and I had data mid way to help make adjustments!! Our setters are waiting for the setting flight path tracker to get released.

Carmelo Cintron
Coach, Ursuline High School

Balltime has helped us engage with our athletes on a much deeper level. They love being able to create their own highlight film, watch match breakdowns on their own and track their stats without a ton of extra effort on the families or coaches.Our athletes especially love capturing the humorous moments in their gameplay.

🚀 Balltime launches
Dan and Tom want to the NCAA conference to introduce Balltime for the world

Balltime, now identify player and actions.

“We were essentially giving volleyball clubs and parents super powers.”

Tom, Co-founder and CEO of Balltime

April 2022
gets acquired by German company, Influencer DB.  🎉

“After this, we both took up golf on during the week and started eating fancy dinners at the local Country Club... Ha. This is not what happened at all. We suck at golf and love eating Guzman Y Gomez.”

Dan, Co-founder of Balltime

June 2022
Tom is moved backed from Berlin to see if his university project can work as a product.

Whilst in Germany, Dan worked with with brands such as Daniel Wellington and BMW - Ja!

Adam worked with clients like Vodafone, TAFE NSW, Adobe and also won the 'Good Design Australia' award for his work on the Seatfrog website.

November 2022
After spending time apart, Dan and Tom begin to plan their next moves and rekindle their business partnership.

The name "Balltime" is born.

January 2023
Dan moves to London after 8 years at NYC. He convinces Adam to join him.
April 2023
🚀 Balltime rise money
For various reasons, Dan and Tom decide to turn down a $100,000 investment from Antler and start their own business venture, without taking outside investment.

To do this they would have to build a company that would be profitable in its first year. Not the next Uber of *insert clever idea*.

June 2023
After building 11 websites on Webflow in under 6 weeks as a way to test a number of business ideas, Dan and Tom decide to stick to what they know best and launch Relume - a company that designs and builds beautiful Webflow websites.

“Relume was an opportunity for us to build a profitable business, not a startup that bleeds cash, whilst doing what we love to do. It also allows us to learn about all types of businesses and the problems they deal with. These are all opportunities that we could potentially solve for in the future. For now, our goal is simple, we want to build a kickass business which means we really want our customers and the Webflow community to succeed too.”

Dan, Co-founder of Relume

Today

Balltime is designed for busy schedules. Because we know editing film is insanely time-consuming. And because we know time is your most precious asset.
"Before Relume, I was putting all my components into a Webflow page for my client. By creating my own library, this allows me to easily centralize my components so my clients can easily copy and paste them in to Webflow."
Felix M. - Weblow Developer @ Webflix Studio
"I use the Relume Library, but I would always create a subset of components that I modify to my own style. This is awesome because it allows me to have a customized version of Relume Library specifically for me."
Anto A. - Webflow Developer @ The Carrot Cake Studio
"Creating a component library for a website I'm working on makes it so much faster to edit and build upon. I literally take the Relume components, style them, save them and then reuse those components to build the site. Game changer."
Sam J. - Designer @ Magic Theatre Studio
"We've fully adopted Relume Library for our freelance work and it's been a massive timesaver. Now that we can create our own library by taking the Relume components and customising them, it's going to save us even more time."
Kirk L. - Webflow Developer @ 224 Industries
