Some fathers and sons build a treehouse. We built a platform for petanque.

On evenings and weekends, my son David and I have been working on this project together — not because anyone asked us to, but because we love this sport and believe it deserves genuinely good digital tools. Competitions, licences, rankings, club administration, member management — all in one place, with apps for players, clubs and federations.

There have been long debates about how a pool draw should really work — and the occasional break to go outside and throw some actual boules. Now, in the middle of the season, we're reminded every week of why we're doing this: petanque runs on volunteers, and their time belongs to the game, not to admin.

We call it Petanque Life. It's not finished yet, but it's getting close. Curious? You can read all about what we're building — and join the waitlist to be among the first to try it — at www.petanque.life.

In the coming weeks we'll use this page to show you what we're building — starting with the features that will always be free for players.
