Starting your own pickup basketball club in Thimphu
If no club exists (or none fits your level), starting one is easier than people think. The hardest part is the first 5-10 members. Once you have a regular weekly slot and a small core group, the rest grows on its own. Volley handles all the management — rosters, weekly RSVPs, paid memberships, internal ratings, tournaments.
